The upcoming third season of Superman & Lois will introduce a new threat for the Man of Steel, with Chad Coleman (The Orville, The Walking Dead) coming into the series as the villain. It was previously reported that he'd be making his debut in the series in season 3, though details on his character have not yet been revealed. Season 2 of the CW series teased the imminent arrival of Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, leading to rumors that this will be who Coleman plays.
In any case, Coleman couldn't be more thrilled to step into this mystery role. In a new interview with Horror Geek Life, he confirmed the reports of his casting, noting that he's "incredibly excited" about this particular role. He describes how his character is different from any other that's been portrayed by the veteran actor. Coleman also goes on to praise his fellow cast members along with the team behind Superman & Lois, teasing some quality episodes in store for fans with the upcoming third season.
"I have this hat on for Superman & Lois, which I’m incredibly excited about. This role encompasses everything I’ve ever done, and as superficial as it sounds, he’s the richest and most powerful dude I’ve ever played. It’s an amazing cast and showrunners. I mean, this is Greg Berlanti productions giving me a plateful of delicious food. I had done Arrow with him and also All American, so for him to serve this up, man, I’m excited."
Superman & Lois Continues With Season 3
Season 2 of Superman & Lois concluded in June, though that followed the series getting its renewal order in March, halfway through the season. Conceived as a spinoff of Supergirl, the series stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as the titular duo. Season 2 saw the Man of Steel encountering Bizarro while Lois Lane dealt with the Inverse Method cult. What will happen in season 3 remains to be seen as no teasers have been released at this time, but everyone involved seems to be pretty excited for what's to come.
“I do know that we’re getting a very cool villain," Tulloch previously teased.
Before his new interview with Horror Geek Life, Coleman had also previously expressed his excitement over the casting with an Instagram post that read, "I couldn't be more psyched to join the family!"
Superman & Lois season 3 does not yet have a premiere date.
