This is enough to make Kara's hair stand on end: Lex Luthor is bringing his one-man creep show to National City!
The CW announced Thursday that the iconic DC baddie will turn up on Supergirl in Season 4, with casting for the recurring role set to begin in the near future. (That's your cue to drop Michael Rosenbaum's name a suggestion or two in the comments below.)
News of Luthor's imminent arrival on the heels of Elizabeth Tulloch being tapped to play Lois Lane (opposite Tyler Hoechlin's returning Superman) in the forthcoming three-part Arrowverse crossover. A CW rep notes, however, that Lex will not be involved in the crossover.
In a joint statement, Supergirl EPs Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller said, "We're beyond excited to introduce … Lex Luthor to Supergirl and to weave him into our story this season. We've talked about having a good time and we're excited about it. We can not wait for him to shake things up in the city of Lena Luthor. "
Lex's previous live-action villagers include Scott James Wells, Howard Sherman, John Shea, and the aforementioned Rosenbaum (on the small screen) and Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey and Jesse Eisenberg (on the big screen).
Speaking of Rosenbaum, the Smallville alum recently maintained on his podcast (with guest Stephen Amell) that he "could not" play Lex Luthor on a full-time basis because he's older and the intense schedule would prove untenable. (Worth noting: He did not rule out playing short-term basis.)
Supergirl This season has a rating of 1.53 million viewers and a 0.5 rating (matching its Season 3 average and final in the demo). TVLine readers gave first year an average grade of "B."
