Michael Cudlitz has been cast as Lex Luthor in the hit CW television drama Superman and Lois. Cudlitz has been in other hit television shows throughout his esteemed career, from AMC's The Walking Dead to TNT's Southland.
Superman and Lois season 3 begins a few weeks after the defeat of Aly Alliston. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are now co-workers at the Smallville Gazzette, trying to maintain their quiet and simple lives. As Chrissy tries to juggle a new love romance and Lois' friendship, it becomes painfully clear that Kent's intimate relationship shows how alienating a secret can be. When an undercover mission reveals a deadly foe who threatens to change the Kent family forever, Lois' ability to balance her work and personal life is tested. Even though Superman would do anything for his family, even that might not be sufficient when dealing with a villain this ruthless.
To many who have followed the beloved Superman series, Lex Luthor is known as the innovative billionaire behind LexCorp. However, character details provided by Entertainment Weekly reveal that Lex Luthor has always had ulterior designs within the criminal underworld. A sociopath with a dangerous chip on his shoulder, he steps on anyone who dares to cross paths with him. While it's been a while since the character has surfaced, Lex Luthor's reemergence in this season of Superman and Lois will address his vendetta against the two people he feels have wronged him and deserve to be destroyed.
During Superman and Lois season 3, the Kent boys try to find a deeper understanding of what it means to be a superhero. Amid all this turmoil, John Henry is plagued by the memories of his doppelgänger, which has dangerous repercussions for him and Natalie. Kyle and Lana Lang redefine their family after their divorce, and Sarah considers what her future with Jordan might be now that she knows about his abilities. After discovering that no one else can be trusted to work with Superman, General Samuel Lane reclaims his position at the Department of Defense, only to run into a conflict when collaborating with his grandson, Jordan.
