Over the course of nearly nine decades, Superman has been subject to various adaptations across movies and television shows. Various projects have brought the story of the Man of Steel to life, but none is quite as beloved as Smallville. The television series ran for a decade, garnering tremendous levels of love and dedication among audiences as it focused on the early days of the Son of Krypton, Clark Kent. While Tom Welling starred as the adored Kryptonian, Smallville also brought to the fore, simultaneously, his best friend/future arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, played by Michael Rosenbaum. Given that the story of Superman continues to hold great appeal, an animated sequel series for Smallville is in the works, and Rosenbaum has an update on its progress.
Welling and Rosenbaum's characters were friends before they became deadly enemies, and now these characters are coming together once more with an animated series in mind. Speaking during his Nashville Comic-Con 2024 panel, moderated by Comic Book, Rosenbaum offered a progress report. The actor revealed that a potential pitch is coming down the line, but timing is all important. He said:
"Tom and I are working on a Smallville animated series that we're trying to get made. It's gonna take time. But the creators of Smallville are attached , they want to be a part of it. And we, you know, when it's the right time, we'll pitch it. You know, we're working on it and we have some loose animation that we've worked [on] with someone who was just awesome. It looks great. So if we can get that made, that'd be awesome."
