The line of Luthors continues in the CW’s DC stories, with The Walking Dead’s Michael Cudlitz taking on the role of Lex for season 3 of Superman & Lois.

The series is not directly linked to the Arrowverse continuity, so expectations of Jon Cryer reprising his role were low. According to the official description quoted in EW, “known to the world as the visionary billionaire behind LexCorp, but secretly, the criminal underworld knows who Lex truly is: a brutal psychopath who terrorizes anyone he crosses paths with. When Lex debuts this season, it’s been years since he dropped out of the public eye and he’s re-emerging hellbent on correcting a personal injustice by enacting revenge on the two people he feels have wronged him — Superman and Lois Lane.”

Superman & Lois returns to the CW on March 14, directly before the premiere of Gotham Knights.
