‘Smallville’ Alum Kristin Kreuk On Lana Lang Casting In ‘Superman & Lois’
Smallville alum Kristen Kreuk recently weighed in on the casting of Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang in the upcoming Superman & Lois series.
In the comics, Lana Lang was Clark Kent’s first love back in Smallville before he meets Lois Lane. Lana Lang has also appeared in several live-actions shows and movies over the years, but she played a major role in the Superman prequel series, Smallville, where she was portrayed by Kristin Kreuk.
Lana Lang is now set to appear in Superman & Lois and it was recently announced that Emmanuelle Chriqui will be the one to play her. In a recent interview with TV Line, Smallville alum Kristin Kreuk talks about Chriqui taking on the Lana Lang role in the upcoming Superman series:
Chriqui’s Lana will be in her late 30s/early 40s, in a very different stage in her life than when Kreuk played her as a teen.
“I imagine that Lana is a very different character in a different universe,” Kreuk said. “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.”
While admitting she no longer feels an “intense” connection to “Smallville” all these years later, Kreuk is excited to see what direction “Superman & Lois” will take the characters, and showing support for the new actors is wonderful.
“She’s wonderful, and very nice. I’m sure she’ll be fine. 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 regard to comic book characters, I think they can adjust and adapt her into a more modern position in the world.”
