Smallville sans Michael Rosenbaum

Smallville Execs Thank Star for Lex Appeal, Tease Doomsday's Arrival


Michael Rosenbaum, ne sera pas de retour la saison prochaine. "Il a été un honneur et un plaisir de travailler avec Michael. Il est l'un des meilleurs acteurs à la télévision et n'a jamais manqué d"apporter de la profondeur au personnage de Lex Luthor dans chaque épisode".

A joint statement from Smallville's new
quartet of show runners, the CW and Warner Bros. Television pays proper
due to Michael Rosenbaum, who won't be returning next season as a
series regular. "It has been an honor and pleasure to work with
Michael. He is one of the best actors on television and has never
failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every
episode," says the missive. "While... we won’t have the pleasure of
working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we
haven’t seen the last of Lex Luthor.

The Smallville bosses go on to tease a new breed of villainy for Season 8, including the arrival of Doomsday, "the legendary, unstoppable destroyer" who
will present Clark with "his ultimate challenge." (Doomsday, of course,
is the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed
Superman.)

Also to be cast for S8 is a female villain who "will
be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex
never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously
sinister, [she] has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual
attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite."

As for Allison Mack['s own Season 8 status, sources tell me "Chloe" and the show are still in talks.

Ils disent qu'il ne sera plus un "series regular" mais ça n'exclue donc pas qu'il pourrait faire des apparitions de temps en temps, non?
