Superman & Lois, a CW spinoff of Supergirl not set in the Arrowverse, has outlived plenty of shows. CW recently cleared its slate by canceling several series, including three DC shows—Legends of Tomorrow, Naomi, and Batwoman.
The superhero drama was renewed for Season 3 in the middle of Season 2. The show follows the return of Clark Kent, a.k.a. Superman, to Smallville with Lois Lane and their two sons Jonathan and Jordan Kent. Their idyllic life takes a turning point when new dangers and old enemies visit them to disrupt their lives.
The show stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, Alex Garfin, Erik Valdez, and Adam Rayner. The show has maintained a steady viewership and generally favorable reviews, which is probably the reason it avoided cancelation.
But before the Season 3 premiere, Jordan Elsaas, who played Jonathan Kent in the superhero drama, cited personal reasons and exited the show in August 2022. Soon after his announcement, rumors started to fly that Julian Daniel Rees might be joining the cast to replace Elsaas as Jonathan Kent. This happened after the show’s official account as well as Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent) followed the actor on Instagram.
But Garfin took to Twitter and put the rumors to rest by confirming that the role for Jonathan Kent has not been recast despite fans’ speculation.
The actor quashed the theory by explaining that Rees is a close friend of Garfin’s from high school and also an actor, and the follow from the official account was just a misunderstanding. Garfin had been the one to follow him from the official account when Rees had sent a meme and simply forgot to unfollow.
Of course, this sort of misunderstanding has been the norm of the guessing games fans play when it comes to their favorite shows and movies. It was smart of Garfin to clear up the rumors, and, as it seems like, the role of Jonathan Kent is still up for grabs.
