Superman & Lois Cast on What It's Like Joining The CW's Arrowverse
With the Tyler Hoechlin (Superman aka Clark Kent) and Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane)-starring Superman & Lois set to begin its fight for truth, justice, and a stable family environment on Tuesday, February 23 (followed by the special Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope), The CW is offering a look at what the cast had to say about being the newest addition to the network's evolving DC universe- one that sees a Painkiller spinoff being set up during the final season of Black Lightning (joining Supergirl as show's getting ready to depart) and Ava DuVernay's Naomi getting a pilot pick-up (though the series looks to be outside the Arrowverse), but Wonder Girl not getting a green light (joining Green Arrow and the Canaries).
Here's a look at Hoechlin, Tulloch, Jordan Elsass (Jonathan Kent), and Alexander Garfin (Jordan Kent) discussing what it's been like being the newest member of The CW's Arrowverse (sorry, we're just not buying into "The CWverse" or "The CW Superhero Team"):
Now here's your look at the most recent preview for The CW's Superman & Lois, "All Right Now":
In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, "Teen Wolf") and comic books' most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, "Grimm"), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, "Little Fires Everywhere") and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, "The Peanuts Movie") could inherit their father's Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older.
Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, "Entourage"), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark's first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, "Graceland"). The adults aren't the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle's rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, "Wander Darkly"). Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, "Nip/Tuck") looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois' return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, "All American") enters their lives.
The CW's Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent aka Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Jordan Elsass as Jonathan Kent, Alexander Garfin as Jordan Kent, Dylan Walsh as Samuel Lane, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang, Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Wolé Parks as the Stranger, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing, Sofia Hasmik as Chrissy Beppo, Stacey Farber as Leslie Larr, and Adam Rayner as Morgan Edge.
