Lex Luthor Will Be Coming To National City in SUPERGIRL Season 4
I’ve been wondering when we would see Lex Luthor show up in DC’s Supergirl series. He’s been teased in the series, but now it’s been confirmed that he will finally be showing up in Season 4!
The news was confirmed by the producers of Supergirl, Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller, and in a joint statement they said, “We’re beyond excited to introduce iconic villain, Lex Luthor, to Supergirl and to weave him into our story this season.”
The went on to say, “We’ve talked about having Lex on the show since it’s inception and we’re excited to have him finally arrive. We can’t wait for him to shake things up in National City and watch him go toe-to-toe with not only Supergirl, but his sister, Lena Luthor.”
It will be interesting to see what his story arc in the series will end up being. We don’t know who will be playing the character yet, but the report says that casting for the role will begin shortly.
Luthor made his first appearance in DC Comics back in the 1940s and he’s one of the most recognized and iconic villains in the DC universe. Over the years, the character has been played by Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, Jesse Eisenberg, and Michael Rosenbaum.
Hackman and Rosenbaum are my favorite iterations of the character and it will be interesting to see who will end up playing Luthor next. I hope they get someone good!
Are there any actors that you would like to see take on the role of Lex in Supergirl?
