After years of making occasional references to Superman villain Lex Luthor, Supergirl will introduce the criminal genius with Jon Cryer in the recurring role. Of course, fans will likely remember that Jon Cryer previously portrayed the nephew of Gene Hackman’s Lex, Lenny Luthor, in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.
Supergirl executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller made the following statement:
“We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor. We’re beyond excited to introduce iconic villain, 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.”
