The upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event just got infinitely more awesome as another major piece has been added to the epic ensemble
TV Line has confirmed that
Smallville star Erica Durance will return as Lois Lane for the upcoming five-part crossover, reuniting with her former co-star and on-screen husband Tom Welling, who was confirmed to reprise his role as Clark Kent/Superman just yesterday.
While Welling's episode count hasn't been disclosed, Durance will reportedly appear in multiple episodes.
Durance also portrays Kara's (Melissa Benoist) mother Alura Zor-El on
Supergirl, but it's uncertain whether she'll be playing both Alura and Lois for the crossover or just the latter.
The pair join a wide variety of special guest stars, including LaMonica Garrett as The Monitor/Anti-Monitor, Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen/Earth-90 Flash, Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, Kevin Conroy as future Bruce Wayne and Burt Ward in an undisclosed role.

Black Lightning characters are also expected to appear, but it's not entirely clear which ones just yet.
Additionally, both Brandon Routh (
Legends of Tomorrow) and Tom Cavanagh (
The Flash) will be pulling double duty for their respective shows. Routh will suit up as both The Atom and Kingdom Come Superman, while Cavanagh is expected to play Pariah.
With Welling and Durance officially onboard, all eyes are now on Michael Rosenbaum, who has curiously been quiet on his social media channels since the Welling news broke...
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins with
Supergirl on December 8, followed by
Batwoman on December 9,
The Flash on December 10 and concludes with an
Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow double header on January 14, 2020.
