SUPERMAN & LOIS Casting Call May Reveal Plans For Mercy Graves, A Fresh Take On Perry White, And More

It's thought that cameras will soon start rolling on The CW's Superman & Lois, and a new casting call points to a number of key characters from the comic books making an appearance. Read on for details...

The Illuminerdi has shared a casting call for The CW's Superman & Lois TV series, and it looks like a lot of familiar faces from the comic books will inhabit this corner of the "CWVerse."

We start with a woman of open ethnicity in her 30s named "Leslie" (bear in mind that codenames are used for listings like these). She's described as "the right-hand man to the world’s arguably most influential figure," so common sense says we're getting a new, small screen version of Mercy Graves.

At the Smallville Gazette, Lois Lane will be mentoring a newly created character (we're assuming) called Chrissy, a female reporter in her 20s. It seems The CW is looking for a Pakistani actress, and "Chrissy apparently has foot-in-mouth syndrome, but is an ambitious individual whose dreams of something better take hold after meeting her idol."

Finally, there's a "Sam Foswell" who is said to be in his 40s and the latest editor of The Daily Planet.

Described as someone who "may seem rough and irascible, but he’s a big softie on the inside," the site believes this could be a fresh take on Perry White, though it's hard to say what the plan might be in a post-Crisis on Infinite Earths "CWVerse." During one of Clark Kent's Supergirl appearances, he was shown reporting back to Perry, but there's no way of knowing what role he could play here. 

We'll have to wait and see, but Superman & Lois is undeniably intriguing!

Knowing the CW, they'll probably make Perry a chiseled supermodel like they did for Jimmy Olsen.

might be Perry or, gee, maybe he retired and this is a new editor? Maybe not even the editor in chief. Could just be the sports or fashion editor.

@aresww3 - Well he plays the role well, and it hasn't even come out yet. If we are actually talking of how a performance represents superman, id go with this guy over any of Cavil's films

No, Sam Foswell is an actual character that exists in DC lore.

So despite being a supergirl spinoff, this show is gonna slowly retcon as much pre-crisis Supergirl as they can, interesting. I still want Cryer's Lex in future seasons.

Why would there be any Daily Planet employees in Smallville, besides Lois & Clark, who've apparently quit/transferred. I don't love Lois working in Smallville. She should be commuting back & forth. Metropolis doesn't have to be that far away from Smallville.

For the Middle Eastern actor, I'd like to see Shiva Negar. She is 28, so she is in her 20s and can work.

Looking forward to Superman and Lois Tyler is a great Superman and he looks the part. His characterisation is perfect hope Jon Cryer returns as Lex. I'm glad Superman is getting a tv show can't wait

"Chrissy apparently has foot-in-mouth syndrome..." Jesus CW, there's more than three types of personalities.
