There’s a new Lex Luthor in Metropolis! DC has revealed who will be the actor who will give life to the great villain of Superman and will face him.
DC Comics has announced the new actor who will play Lex Luthor. The actor of The Walking Dead, Michael Cudlitz, has been chosen to play the great villain of Superman in the DC Universe and The CW series titled Superman and Lois. A very surprising choice, given the physical appearance of the performer.

The information has been published exclusively by Entertainment Weekly. Michael Cudlitz’s character in Superman and Lois has been described as “the visionary billionaire behind LexCorp” who dabbles in “the criminal underworld.” We are in front of the new actor who will give life to Lex Luthor in DC Comics. Since his first appearance, there have been many audiovisual versions of this immortal villain.
Lex Luthor will be revealed in the upcoming third season of Superman and Lois. The DC Comics villain will go after the leading duo who, at least in his eyes, have committed some kind of personal injustice against him.. This all comes after a month of searching for someone to play the character, after former The CW actor John Cryer stepped back from the role.
Superman is living a modern renaissance
Excitement for Superman is the order of the day. Ever since Henry Cavill was fired as DC Comics’ Man of Steel and James Gunn revealed that he would be writing the new Kryptonian movie, fans have been waiting for news. This time, however, the Lex Luthor will not be that of the cinema, but that of television. Another version of Lex on the small screen. And there are… How many? More than four? Probably so. However, in theaters there have also been a lot of versions if we take into account all the adaptations that Superman has had.
