SEASON 4: There’s A New Lex Luthor in Town. Jon Cryer About to Suit Up on SUPERGIRL

Supergirl Season 4.

There’s a new Lex Luthor in town.

Jon Cryer’s Lex Luthor is smarter then everyone else — natch.

But his Lex has a “sparkle in his eye” and is “just a large delicious villain”, Supergirl co-showrunner Jessica Queller tells EW.

Two and a Half Men’s Cryer is Lena Luthor’s nefarious brother Lex.

Jon Cryer has had wardrobe and makeup tests and will be on set when episode 4×15 starts filming — maybe as soon as today?

I think that he’s the biggest supervillain we’ve had the show, and his plans will kind of touch every character and impact the entire season moving forward once he arrives.– co showrunner Robert Rower told EW.

Cryer played Lex Luthor’s nephew Lenny in the 1987 movie Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor. Jon is a super-talent, and the fact that he played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV brings an added layer of legacy to his casting. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome Jon to the Supergirl family. — Co-Showrunners Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller.

Supergirl airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
