Supergirl season 4 will officially introduce Lex Luthor; casting underway
The CW confirmed today that they are casting this character to appear down the road this season — it doesn’t feel like he’ll be a part of the crossover, though, given that is filming now. Here’s what executive producers Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner had to say in a statement:
“We’re beyond excited to introduce… Lex Luthor to Supergirl and to weave him into our story this season. 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.”

Is there that part of our brain that wants to see Michael Rosenbaum return here, given how great he was in Smallville? Just, but these shows are different beasts. We would like to see Rosenbaum turn up on Supergirl down the road just like Erica Durance and Laura Vandervoort have, but we’d like for it to be a different character. There should be a new Lex, and someone who can breathe their own sense of life into the character. Presumably, this iteration of the villain is someone who has already fought Superman for some time and is a clearly-established villain. They’re also a great foil to Lena down the road as she tries to continue her legacy without potentially ending up like him in the process.
Our feeling is that we’ll meet the show’s Lex at some point in 2019, and that’s someone that they can choose to bring in on a number of occasions in the future.
