Jon Cryer has been cast in the role of villain Lex Luthor in CW's Supergirl.

The 53-year-old actor - who previously won two Primetime Emmy Awards for his role in the CBS comedy series Two and a Half Men - is set to star as the iconic villain in the Warner Bros. Television series, which stars Melissa Benoist as Supergirl.

The show's executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller explained: 'We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor.

'Jon is a super-talent, and the fact that he played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV brings an added layer of legacy to his casting. We're beyond thrilled to welcome Jon to the Supergirl family.'

The actor previously played Lenny Luthor - the nephew to Gene Hackman's Lex - in the 1987 movie Superman IV: A Quest for Peace.

Of course Alexander Joseph 'Lex' Luthor, originally appeared in action comics #23 and has persisted as Superman's arch nemesis ever since. 

Accomplished! The 53-year-old actor previously won two Primetime Emmy Awards for his role in the CBS comedy series Two and a Half Men

Cryer will make his debut as the character in the 15th episode of the show's current season.

Meanwhile, Melissa previously revealed that the current series of Supergirl would take the show in a new direction.

She shared: 'The writers' room is being really great this year. Last season, it was a lot of fire and brimstone and a lot of homages to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which was great because I was such a big fan of that show.

The past: Gene Hackman notably played the super villain in the original superman movies opposite Christopher Reeve's Superman 

Classic character: Of course Alexander Joseph 'Lex' Luthor, originally appeared in action comics #23 and has persisted as Superman's arch nemesis ever since

'This season they really want to thematically tackle more topical stories that maybe mirror what's going on with the state of the world and our country.

'There's a lot of anti-alien sentiment at the beginning of Season 4 that Supergirl is going to have to grapple with. I think their main premise is that fear itself is a villain, and can hope conquer it?'

'Supergirl stands for hope, so we'll see. I think fear is her biggest opponent yet because it's more of a wildfire-type emotion.'

Exciting! Meanwhile, Melissa Benoist previously revealed that the current series of Supergirl would take the show in a new direction

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
