The CW has released photos for "Head On", the fifth episode of Superman & Lois' third season. The episode is directed by Arrowverse alum David Ramsey and is scheduled to air on Tuesday, April 11th. The season has seen Lois diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer and she's unwilling to let it slow her down. However, this may be causing some challenges with both Clark and General Lane who are going to have some issues letting Lois make choices for herself and possibly for good reason. The photos seem to reveal that Lois is going to have an encounter with Bruno Mannheim that may or may not go well. You can check out the official episode synopsis for yourself below and then read on for the photos.
"DAVID RAMSEY DIRECTS – Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) and General Lane (Dylan Walsh) are both having a hard time giving Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) room to make her own decisions. Meanwhile, Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette) have a run-in with an old friend at the diner. Lastly, Natalie (Tayler Buck) has a surprise visitor. David Ramsey directed the episode written by Andrew N. Wong."
Who is the villain of Superman & Lois Season 3?
The season has set up Bruno Mannheim as the "big bad" or at least one of them. It was previously revealed that The Walking Dead and The Orville star Chad L. Coleman will be playing Mannheim. The season will also see Michael Cudlitz appear as Lex Luthor. Jon Cryer previously portrayed the villain on Supergirl as well as Crisis on Infinite Earths, though Superman & Lois is a show that is entirely separate from both.
"I have a pretty darn good resume, so to say the least, this is the best role for me that I've ever had," Coleman said previously. "The scale of this guy. Honestly, the scale of this man is incredible. He's not to be messed with. This is gonna be a thrill ride. Love him, hate him, but it's not the typical villain. He's very layered. And you root for this man because he makes a lot of sense and he's done a lot of amazing things to transform South Metropolis and so you just get to take this thrill ride."
Superman & Lois airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW. "Head On" airs April 11th.
