Fans hope to see Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor in Superman & Lois Season 3, but it looks far from happening after the actor revealed he would no longer reprise his role in the series.

Superman & Lois Season 3 will drop in a couple of months, and fans now debate the possible appearance of Lex Luthor in the upcoming season. Among the many actors who can play the role, they all want Jon Cryer to reprise his Arrowverse character, but it may never happen.

The actor quickly shut down his possible appearance in the Kent family show due to scheduling conflicts and the character’s change in creative direction in a series of posts on Twitter.

The 57-year-old answered the fan’s suggestion to have him shave and wear a three-piece suit to differentiate him from Earth Prime.

“Would’ve been fun. But I’m not sure I could’ve played Lex @cwsupermanlois even if they wanted to do this,” he said. “I’m supposed to start shooting a new series for NBC in February.”

Despite his possible exit as the DC villain, he still commended the company for telling him that the show would go a different way with the character before it started looking for a new star to fill in his role.

“Most of the time, actors learn about this stuff when it comes out in the trades. I’m grateful they were classy about it,” he continued. “But I do reserve the right to have @BitsieTulloch play pranks on the new guy and send me the video.”

Lex Luthor’s Appearance in Superman & Lois Season 3

Either DC or The CW has yet to confirm Lex’s appearance in Superman & Lois Season 3, but it can’t be denied that the show has been setting up his arrival.

Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) will face the Intergang led by Bruno Mannheim (Chad L. Coleman). However, Lex may soon take over Bruno’s role and lead the group instead, that’s if The Walking Dead alum will just be the series’ guest star.

It’s also good to note that the series has to feature multiple villains, hinting at another possibility of Lex’s appearance. In fact, his name was already mentioned in the first season, and with its connection to the Arrowverse, it’s not hard for Lex to make his way to the series.

Also, as Superman and Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) believe Irons is related to Lex, it may mean that he exists in their universe.

Superman & Lois Season 3 will premiere on March 14 on The CW.
