Deadline reports that Inde Navarrette has joined the cast of Superman & Lois as a series regular. She will play Sarah Cushing, the daughter of Lana Lang and her abusive husband Kyle Cushing.
Sarah Cushing is described as a whip-smart, supercool wild child with some demons in her past who becomes friends with the Kent boys, Jonathan and Jordan. We recently learned that Erik Valdez is playing Kyle, while Emmanuelle Chriqui was recently cast as classic Superman character Lana.
The events of Crisis on Infinite Earths led to Clark Kent having not one, but two, children, and common sense says we'll follow them as they start to develop superpowers just like the Man of Steel.
Developed by The Flash executive producer Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti, Superman & Lois is based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and revolves around the world’s most famous superhero and comic books’ most famous journalist, as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.
Navarette will next be seen in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, and was most recently seen in Wander Darkly.
We're not entirely sure when Superman & Lois will be able to resume production (or when it will air), but it's certainly shaping up to be a very different take on the iconic DC Comics character.
