Lex Luthor To Appear In Next Week’s Supergirl

 

Could Supergirl be about to introduce an alternate take on Lex Luthor? We know that Jesse Eisenberg will reprise the role in Justice League, but the promo below points to a new version showing up for a confrontation with his sister Lena as he continues rotting behind bars since being put there by Superman.

For more on what to expect from this episode of Supergirl, here’s the official synopsis for “Luthors.”
After Metallo (guest star Frederick Schmidt) breaks out of prison and frees Lillian Luthor (guest star Brenda Strong), the police blame Lena (guest star Katie McGrath) for his escape and arrest her. Despite overwhelming evidence, Kara (Melissa Benoist) refuses to believe her friend is guilty and fights to clear Lena’s name. Flashbacks reveal how Lena came to be a Luthor. Meanwhile, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Maggie (Floriana Lima) celebrate their first Valentine’s Day together. 

Tawnia McKiernan directed the episode written by Robert Rovner and Cindy Lichtman .
