SUPERGIRL Season 4 Will Introduce Lex Luthor

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The CW will introduce the familiar foe in season four.

The iconic Lex Luthor will be introduced in this season of the DC Comics-inspired drama starring Melissa Benoist. Casting is underway. The character was last seen on TV on Smallville, played by Michael Rosenbaum.

"We're BEYOND excited to introduce iconic villain Lex Luthor to SUPERGIRL and to weave him into our story this season," executive producers Robert L. Rovner and Jessica Queller said Thursday. "We've talked about having Lex on the show since its 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 (Katie McGrath)."

Lex Luthor's introduction will bring back Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and introduce Lois Lane (played by Grimm's Elizabeth "Bitsie" Tulloch). Lex will not be included in the annual Arrow-verse crossover, but Superman and Lois Lane will.
