After years of speculation, the highly anticipated animated sequel series to the beloved ‘Smallville’ is finally materializing. Michael Rosenbaum, who played the iconic character Lex Luthor on the original series, has confirmed that he and Tom Welling are actively involved in production, with animation already underway.
Despite initial interest, Rosenbaum ultimately understood why he wasn’t included in James Gunn’s live-action ‘Superman’ film. While he expressed a desire to be a part of the movie, he wished Gunn well and accepted the decision.
