The CW’s DC period could have ended final 12 months with Superman & Lois, because it was one of many many reveals ending and canceled in 2024, nevertheless it was truly the proper solution to finish it. The period closing out with Superman after opening with Superman was fairly becoming as a result of, earlier than there was the Arrowverse, there was Smallville. The sequence centering on Clark Kent’s origin pre-Man of Metal, premiered in 2001 and resulted in 2011 after 10 seasons. The present remains to be cherished by many at this time, and Kristin Kreuk shared a reunion with Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling, which confirmed simply how nice they’re all doing now.
The trio reunited at Fan Expo Canada over the weekend together with Laura Vandervoort and Erica Durance, and it looks like, in between photograph ops, Kreuk, Rosenbaum, and Welling took images on their very own. Kreuk, who performed Lana Lang on the primary eight seasons, took to her Instagram Story to repost a candy photograph shared by the Lex Luthor actor along with her and her two on-screen love pursuits. Even 14 years after the sequence got here to an finish, I really like how shut they’re and the way good they give the impression of being:
In fact, this isn’t the primary time that they’ve reunited as they steadily do conventions collectively, nevertheless it’s at all times nice seeing them collectively. Particularly since they’re all so busy doing different initiatives, having them come collectively for Smallville and assembly followers of the sequence simply reveals how a lot it nonetheless means to them and the way a lot they imply to one another.
In the meantime, with the Smallville forged nonetheless conserving the present alive, what does this imply for the potential animated sequel sequence? It was beforehand reported that Welling and Rosenbaum have been attempting to get an animated revival off the bottom with the OG producers. One EP, nonetheless, not too long ago weighed in on the proposed present, explaining that not solely has Warner Bros. gone by means of quite a bit, however with the studio revamping DC with Superman, it’d make it slightly tougher to make one thing like one other Smallville sequence occur.
Though an animated revival could not occur any time quickly, followers nonetheless bought a style of Smallville after it ended. Each Welling and Erica Durance reprised their roles as Clark Kent and Lois Lane within the “Disaster on Infinite Earths” crossover occasion on The CW in 2020. Regardless of his protectiveness of the beloved character, Welling wished to return after realizing it was only for one scene. And it was a reasonably nice one which noticed Clark admitting to Jon Cryer’s Lex that he gave up his powers for his household.
Smallville will endlessly be among the best reveals ever, and it helps that the theme track is fairly nice, too. So, even when we aren’t fortunate sufficient to see the Smallville forged reunite on-screen, no less than it occurs off-screen, and the OG sequence is streaming in full with a Hulu subscription.
