Deadline.com reports that actors Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin have been cast in the roles of Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s twin sons, Jonathan and Jordan Kent.
Jonathan – Clean cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated. A three-sport athlete who’s already garnering attention from college and pro scouts.
Jordan – Wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people, and consequently, he spends most of his free time playing video games.
Elizabeth Tulloch, who plays Lois Lane on the series, confirmed the casting via Twitter saying, “Can’t wait to share their talent with you all – [Tyler Hoechlin] and I read with them and they are both terrific young actors.”
Written by Todd Helbing, based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, “Superman & Lois” revolves around superhero Superman and journalist Lois as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.
So now we know who will play Superman’s and Lois’s kids. I wonder who will play Martha?
Why did I say that name!?
Ha ha ha, I just had to say it. 😀
I am getting so excited about this series!!! It seems like a merging of “Lois and Clark” and “Smallville”
I just thought of something. In the crossover, Routh’s Superman commented that Tyler’s Superman’s son looks just like his son Jason. Now that the crossover is over and apparently Tyler’s Superman has two teenage sons, is one of his sons suppose to look a lot like Routh’s Superman son Jason. I know that it’s not the same kid as Routh’s Superman’s kid, but does this mean Jonathan or Jordan is supposed to look a lot like Jason?
Hmmm. Not sure. All I know is so far…..this has Lots of potential. Especially with Geoff Johns on board.
I’m looking forward to seeing this upcoming series too. 🙂
So the leak seems to be true, this Superman and Lois show (I expect the name to change), is going to be such a soap opera that makes Lois and Clark look like Man of Steel. The infidelity *gasp* the love triangles *oh* the teenage drama *shiver* the unstable relationships. It’s a show who’s target audience is women ages 16-30 it seems that are very into drama and social rights. The only Superman part of it apparently is to make it tolerable for their boyfriends and/or husbands to watch. Lois is the bread winner, head of the household while unemployed… Read more »
But Kara won’t be on this show, so she won’t outshine Superman. For her to do so she would have to be in this series as well. And I don’t see why she would be in this series since she has her own. As for the kids, I’m curious to see how Superman tackles fatherhood. We’ve seen him go over his origin story so many times before. I think it’ll be interesting to see something that hasn’t been done before for Superman and Lois. True, you have a point on Clark losing his job, but like I said before in… Read more »
I hope that I didn’t sound mean or rude to you Clark_Jo. I hope that I didn’t sound that way. I was only trying trying to explain my thoughts on the series based on what we know so far. If you were offended. I’m sorry about that. That was not my intention.
I hate what they did with the supergirl show. It wasn’t about supergirl. I hope this does not happen with this show….but until i see it and hate it, for now I’m excited. I can either be depressed from now until it airs….or I can be excited and if it sucks when it airs….then I’ll join you on the depressed protesting side ( which i am on with supergirl….why they still call it that I don’t even know) At least my way I’m guaranteed some happy times. When I was growing up, before marriage and kids and all..My mother taught… Read more »
I’m approaching it as, yeah there is likely to be things that I won’t like but I do like Tyler’s Superman. And for me that’s enough for me to like a Superman show. If I like the actor playing the part, then odds are I will like the series. I like Supergirl’s show, I’m a fan of her show, but even I admit there are things that I don’t like. And yeah there maybe some things that I might not like about the upcoming Superman series. Every show or movie has its flaws. Nothing is perfect. But I do believe… Read more »
I love the optimism!
Thanks. I like to be optimistic and see things as a glass being half full. 🙂
Me too!
