**UPDATE: Michael finally decided, again, to join the series finale of Smallville for the sake of the fans.
I’m sure Smallville fans are not happy to read this spoiler, but I can’t do anything about it, it’s all about Michael’s decision. Maybe he is just trying to be a villain and so far, he is succeeding since I’m sure many are being annoyed with his no-show promise on Smallville’s series finale.
Lex Luthor’s latest scheme is perhaps his most villainous yet: Refusing to appear in the Smallville series finale.
EW has learned that actor Michael Rosenbaum has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by producers this season to get him back on The CW’s show to reprise his role as Luthor in the finale.
“He has put the show behind him and moved on,” says a knowledgeable source. “He’s pursuing his other creative outlet [writing]. By all indications, he is not going to be involved.”
The door still remains open for Rosenbaum to come on board, but it’s closing fast. Smallville wraps series production late next month, with only three episodes — including the two-hour finale — left to shoot.
Apart from seeing the Man of Steel finally put on the spandex suit and fly like he means it, a re-appearance by Rosenbaum is the top request by fans looking for creative closure in Smallville‘s final season. (Forget Waiting for Superman — for Smallville fans, it’s all about Waiting for Lex.)
Rosenbaum played Superman’s arch rival for seven seasons on the show and Smallville ends its epic 10-year run in May. Producers have publicly taken a “you’ll have to tune in to find out” stance when asked whether Rosenbaum will show up, all the while naturally hoping the actor will change his mind.
Smallville will air its final hours on Friday, May 13. The CW had no comment.
