SUPERMAN & LOIS Season 3 Casts Michael Cudlitz as More Brutal, Criminal Lex Luthor

SUPERMAN & LOIS Season 3 Casts Michael Cudlitz as its More Brutal, Criminal Version of Lex Luthor

Superman & Lois season 3 casts Michael Cudlitz as its more brutal, criminal version of Lex Luthor, but The Walking Dead veteran is not on set in Vancouver yet.

Can’t wait to work with you, Mike! – Bitsie Tulloch.

Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) is known to the world as the visionary billionaire behind LexCorp, but secretly, the criminal underworld knows who Lex truly is: a brutal psychopath who terrorizes anyone he crosses paths with. When Lex debuts this season, it’s been years since he dropped out of the public eye and he’s re-emerging hellbent on correcting a personal injustice by enacting revenge on the two people he feels have wronged him — Superman and Lois Lane.

Many wondered why Jon Cryer’s Lex Luthor from Supergirl and crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths wasn’t reprising the role when That Hashhtag Show broke the news of a recasting last December.

DC did reach out to Jon Cryer to let him know that the show was going in a different direction with Lex Luthor.

Casting details from That Hashhtag Show:

Lex Luthor for Superman and Lois:

He’s hellbent on destroying those who he feels are responsible for ruining his life. A chilling businessman, who’s rogue and amoral. 

The casting calls for someone who’s late 40s, white and male.

How does this Lex Luthor connect with season 3’s other Big Bad: Chad Coleman’s Intergang crime boss Bruno Manheim?
