May 29, 2020: Kristen Kreuk on Lana Lang Appearing in "Superman and Lois"

TVline.com caught up with Kristen Kreuk to see how she felt about Emmanuelle Chriqui being cast to play Lana Lang in the upcoming "Superman and Lois" TV series.

Kreuk, who played Lana on the long-running "Smallville" TV series, is looking forward to seeing a new take on the character.

"I don't know a ton about the show, but it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. She's a great character, and with the freedom that's afforded creators right now in regards to comic book characters, I think they can adjust and adapt her into a more modern position in the world."

After all, now in her late 30s/early 40s, "I imagine that Lana is a very different character in a different universe," Kreuk observed. "I am excited to… hear about how the show portrays her. She's an interesting character in the canon, so having her be in a predominant role on this new show is awesome."

In "Superman and 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.

Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERMAN & LOIS is written and executive produced by Todd Helbing ("The Flash") and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns. The series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
