Fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as “Smallville” alum, Michael Rosenbaum, has announced his return for the series’ 2-hour season finale. Over the past year, producers of the show have had numerous back and forth discussions with the actor on reprising his role as Lex Luthor. Rosenbaum was constantly adamant about not returning to the series, as it was released in an Entertainment Weekly article that he had repeatedly refused attempts by the producers to change his decision. Rosenbaum has stated the following:
“I’m delighted to return for the series finale. I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.”
“I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be.”
Producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson commented on Rosenbaum’s return:
“It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited. And as far as the way he returns… there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He is the villain of the story.”
“Smallville” will end its 10-season run on May 13th with a 2-hour season finale.
