SUPERGIRL Season 4: First Look At Jon Cryer As Superman Villain Lex Luthor Revealed

Lex Luthor will make his Supergirl debut in the fifteenth episode of the show's fourth season (titled "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") when the villain attempts to enlist Lena in a plan which will see him "stop at nothing to get her on board, even if that means leveraging the life of one of her friends."

Jon Cryer is, of course, playing Lex and a first look at him behind bars has now been revealed!

It's certainly easy enough to picture him as one of Superman's greatest foes and executive producer Jessica Queller promises that he's portraying a comic accurate version of Lex. "The character is not that dissimilar to what we’ve seen in canon. He just [has] a sparkle in his eye and is smarter than everybody in the room and 12 steps ahead of everyone, and just a large, delicious villain."
 
"He’s the biggest supervillain we’ve had on the show, and his plans will kind of touch every character and impact the entire season moving forward once he arrives."

The photo looks TOO touched up by the computer, looks almost fake. But otherwise, interested to see his take on Lex!

He looks the part, can't wait to find out what he wants. My only theory for now is that he is "the friend" the russians mentioned at the beginning of the last episode regarding whether they could control Red Daughter.

Also expecting some nods and refences to past encounters with Superman from different DC adaptations and stories, they always do that.

Looks very comic booky I think I want to see him in live action before I form an opinion.

@TheOscarPanther - it will 100% come down to how he portrays him and the script he's given, but my initial reaction is

Why does it looks so fake? Cryer looks cool but the actual photo looks off.

I never watch this show but I will watch for Lex.

Lots of things they can do with Lex now. Endless possibilities.

I just hope my man Winn and the Legionnaires finish Brainiac up for good in the 31st century 'cause if not this scenario is a possibility.
