Lex Luthor Set To Return To Smallville

Casting News, News

Great news for the Smallville fans everywhere, as Michael Rosenbaum is set to return to the show for the final episode! That’s right, Lex is back!

“I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.” Rosenbaum told TV Line during an interview about his return, which until a few days ago was looking more and more unlikely.

For some fans, Rosenbaum’s rendition of Lex Luthor was the best thing the show had going for it for his tenure. I, personally, am one of those fans. I would love to see Rosenbaum’s version of Luthor make the big screen, and feel that there may be nobody better at playing Superman’s arch rival out there today.

The return of Lex sort of seals it for me, I’m going to be watching the last episode of Smallville….and I’m probably going to like it!
