Superman & Loisstar Tyler Hoechlin opens up about the most difficult aspect of portraying the Man of Steel on the silver screen.

Speaking to Cbr, Hoechlin was asked what the hardest part of playing Superman was for him. "Trying to please everybody because it is a disservice to playing the characters truthfully," Hoechlin responded. When asked what the most fun part of being on the series was, co-star and Lois Lane actress Elizabeth Tulloch replied, "We love acting together and the flashbacks."

Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch recently discussed The CW show, sharing their thoughts on the season finale. Titled "It Went By So Fast," the final episode aired on December 2, 2024, and depicted the iconic characters' respective deaths three decades after putting away their archnemesis Lex Luthor.

Hoechlin and Tulloch were on Megacon's Superman & Lois panel. In response to Cbr's question about their initial reaction to Superman & Lois Season 4's script, Tulloch responded, "I was surprised they went so full circle." Hoechlin added, "I thought it was very bold. When I read it, I felt different than when we started shooting it. I knew it would be good." In the season finale, Lois passes away after her cancer returns, with Clark joining her in the afterlife a few years later after dying of heart failure. The pair, however, enjoyed a full life together before their deaths.

Superman & Lois star Elizabeth Tulloch recently revealed there was a planned crossover with the Arrowverse franchise. It never materialized as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking at MegaCon Orlando, Tulloch shared that Superman & Lois almost crossed over with Batwoman -- but the pandemic ended up impacting the studio's ability to film safely. "There was a brief discussion about us having a crossover with Batwoman, but there was [sic] strict Covid protocols back then," she said. "They were concerned about the cast."

Hallmark Mysteries spoilers and updates reveal fans have been impatiently waiting for news on which series will return in 2025. The year is kicking off slowly, with the streaming of the former CW series, the Hallmark-style The Spencer Sisters on Hallmark+ in January, and The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription on Hm.

Hallmark Mysteries Spoilers – Where Do We Look For Our Shows?

Mystery fans are excited to see what’s coming next, and the anticipation is high-in early 2024, the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel was renamed Hallmark Mystery. Lisa Hamilton Daly mentioned on the Hallmark Mysteries & More podcast that they are dedicated to mysteries.

Therefore, fans can look forward to plenty of updates about the 2025 mystery films.

However, with limited mystery news in January 2025, it’s unclear where fans will find their mysteries: on Hallmark+ or Hallmark Mystery. Here’s what we currently know about the different mystery series.

Hallmark Mysteries...

Traditionally, the first episode of a television show, or pilot, is produced long before the rest of the series. This allows executives to evaluate which aspects of the show work and make adjustments to those that don't. While these alterations tend to be small tweaks, there are times when a pilot bears little resemblance to the show fans will come to know and love.

This ability to morph and grow is one of television's greatest strengths. Because stories are ongoing, writers can get a feel for their actors' skills and tailor the characters to suit their strengths. There are also opportunities to shift storylines in light of factors like characters' chemistry or fan reactions.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. kicks off when Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) recruits Skye (Chloe Bennet), an anarchist computer hacker, to the agency.

Hallmark Mystery fans have been impatiently waiting for news on which mystery series will be back in 2025. Although the network is starting the year pretty slow by streaming the former CW-aired series, the Hallmarkesque The Spencer Sisters on Hallmark+ in January, and The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription on Hm, these mystery fans will surely want to know what the future holds.

The expectations are high. Early in 2024, the network rebranded the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel to Hallmark Mystery. Furthermore, Lisa Hamilton Daly told the Hallmark Mysteries & More podcast that they were committed to mysteries. Therefore, Sleuthers may expect a flurry of news on the 2025 mystery movies.

However, with the meager January 2025 mystery news, it is not clear where Sleuthers will be finding their mysteries: on Hallmark+ or Hallmark Mystery. Here is what we know about the various mystery series now.

Science fiction television has captivated audiences with its ability to transport viewers to distant worlds since television's earliest days, exploring the limits of technology, and bringing larger-than-life stories to the screen. While iconic series like Star Trek, Doctor Who, and The X-Files have earned widespread acclaim, many remarkable sci-fi shows have flown under the radar, quietly pushing boundaries and delivering innovative storytelling within the genre.

These hidden gems offer unique perspectives on classic sci-fi themes, blending thought-provoking concepts with compelling characters to create unforgettable viewing experiences. Despite not dominating the public conversation the way the giants do, these shows continue to resonate with dedicated fans, who appreciate their creativity and daring narratives. The exploration of these underrated series not only highlights their merit but also proves the still-rich diversity within the science fiction genre across all mediums.

The "Is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. canon?" debate rages on. Brad Winderbaum, Head of Marvel Television and Animation, recently addressed whether Marvel Studios considers the beloved ABC superheroes series part of the official sacred timeline.

Although initially billed as the first television series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios never properly acknowledged S.H.I.E.L.D., despite the show including numerous tie-ins to the theatrical movies during its first three seasons. While Winderbaum didn't provide an exact confirmation or denial during his interview with Screen Rant, he did share that he had spent a considerable amount of time pondering the question. "Well, I'll tell you this, and put it to you like this. It's exciting for me to think about how to square those ABC shows with the canon," he remarked.

With the series finale of Superman & Lois fans of DC Comics' and Superhero storytelling may need a new show to tide them over. Luckily, in this new Golden Age for comic book adaptations, there are plenty of options for viewers to choose from, including more than one featuring the Man of Steel. The finale of Superman & Lois didn't just end that series, but it also brought the most impressive run of DC Comics' TV adaptations to an end.

For nearly 20 years (and more counting The WB years), The CW was home to a number of bingeable series. Perhaps the most prominent ones are those in the Arrowverse -- a suite of shows with shared continuity that first introduced Tyler Hoechlin as Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane. However, these series are worth it on their own, as they each adopted different styles and tones, from dark to openly silly.

Getting interviewed by Tom Cavanagh was a delight for Superman & Lois' Lex Luthor.

"He's not only a cast favorite but also a crew favorite, and he was wonderful to have on set," actor Michael Cudlitz told TVLine after The Flash star cameoed as talk show host Gordon Godfrey, setting up Lex's on-camera showdown with Lois Lane as part of his revenge scheme. Cudlitz also described Cavanagh as "a lot of fun, he has a lot of energy, he's incredibly creative, and he's not afraid to throw out everything he's done and come up with something new. He's also incredibly supportive, so I was grateful to have him on set. Hes a hoot."

Mid-investigation, however, Lois notices that Clark's developing a bit of gray in his hair, admitting that the new patch makes him look handsome. Her observation is quickly put on hold as the duo notices Luthor's accomplice Amanda McCoy (Yvonne Chapman) nearby, prompting Lois to pursue her while still teasing Clark about his new color.

Last night's episode of Superman and Lois concluded with the Kent family scoring a (no-doubt temporary) victory over Lex Luthor, but it looks like an unexpected development may soon give the opportunistic villain the upper hand yet again.

Lois attempted to steer Luthor away from his desire for revenge by reuniting him with his daughter Elizabeth (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum Elizabeth Henstridge - who also directed the episode), but when that didn't work, she tried her luck with the monster who violently murdered her husband and father, Doomsday.

Somehow, Lois was able to appeal to the Bizarro Superman part of Doomsday by reminding him that he had a family of his own on the Inverse World, and the powerful creature agreed to depart.

Superman and Lois season 4 has almost reached its halfway point. The CW TV series recently returned for its fourth and final season, after over a year off screens and it very quickly made up for that with some stunning episodes.

As the fourth and final season of Superman & Lois fast approaches, it was recently announced that Lex Luthor's daughter is set to appear in an upcoming episode. While this character has yet to have a name, she will be played by one of the show's directors, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum Elizabeth Henstridge. Luthor's daughter was first mentioned back in Season 3, when the DC villain was released from prison and the only thing we know about her is that she cut contact with her father after he was arrested.

An Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum is jumping from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to The CW's final DC series. Elizabeth Henstridge, who portrayed Jemma Simmons in all seven seasons of the MCU series, will have two key roles in the final season of Superman & Lois.

Speaking with ComicBook.com, Superman & Lois executive producer Brent Fletcher revealed that Henstridge will direct the fifth episode of the show's final season. She previously directed an episode of Superman & Lois in both Seasons 2 and 3. Additionally, Henstridge will portray Lex Luthor's daughter, although it's unclear at this time how many episodes she will appear in. In Season 4, "Luthor is fixated on reuniting with his daughter, who left in her teens when Lex was convicted of murder and went to jail."

Most of you will know Elizabeth Henstridge best for her role as Jemma Simmons in Marvel Television's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but she's also stepped behind the camera to helm episodes of that, Gotham Knights, and Superman & Lois.

Today, ComicBook.com brings word that the actor will play Lex Luthor's daughter in season 4! The character doesn't have a name yet but it's said that "Luthor is fixated on reuniting with his daughter, who left in her teens when Lex was convicted of murder and went to jail."

While Henstridge will direct episode five of Superman & Lois, how many instalments of the 10-episode fourth and final season she'll appear in as this character is unclear.

Talking about the casting, executive producer Brent Fletcher said, "I worked with her on Agents of Shield, and she's unbelievable. She's an unbelievable actress and just the greatest person to work with.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. addresses critic and fan concerns and offers well-written female characters and unique storylines. Coulson's popularity led to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., showcasing his impact as a relatable, fan-favorite character. The show is beloved for its compassionate characters and familial dynamics, appealing to Marvel fans and newcomers.

It's no secret that the MCU has struggled to produce hits in recent years (though Deadpool & Wolverine crossing $1 billion at the global box office arguably proves that there's still an appetite yet for Marvel blockbusters). Some criticisms that have been lobbed at the franchise include its over-reliance on formulas/lack of risk-taking, two-dimensional female characters, and being so oversaturated with content that it's inaccessible to the average viewer now.

As fair as many of these criticisms are, they don't apply across the board. Each project is written and produced by a different team, so the results are as variable as any other movie or TV show.

There has long been a continued debate over whether Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set in the Sacred Timeline of the MCU. The possibility has gotten an update from Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation.

In an interview with Screen Rant, Winderbaum spoke about the show's status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, acknowledging how the TV series did hint at MCU connections. However, while not outright giving a clear answer, Winderbaum said that the series "fits into The Multiverse Saga," seemingly hinting that the events of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are set in a different timeline, but could still potentially connect to the MCU through the multiverse. With that teased, the executive couldn't quite guarantee that either, hinting that there was no rush to revisit Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even with great appreciation for the series.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe that began with the release of Iron Man in 2008 is unique in cinematic history. An interconnected series that currently includes over 50 films and television series, it tells a continuing universal story, with one entry building upon the previous to create an immersive fictional world. While fans of the MCU find this linked world and its many Easter eggs exhilarating, it can prove to be daunting for anyone new to jump into the series with such a storied legacy. It seems Marvel Studios Head Kevin Feige agrees and is planning on doing something about it.

In a recent interview with ComicBook, Feige discussed the recent move to separate the McU's film, television, and animation projects in an effort to make the MCU more accessible to new viewers. For several years, Marvel Studios and Marvel Television co-existed, with the former producing movies under the guidance of Feige, and the latter delivering TV shows,...

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." was a changed show in its second season. In its early days, the Marvel Television series suffered from an identity crisis. Season 1 started out trying to emulate co-creator Joss Whedon's previous work, yet it played as a pale imitation of shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and especially "Firefly," following a ragtag team of misfits on weekly adventures in their flying home base. However, the one-two combo punch of Whedon stepping away from the series and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" blowing up the Marvel Cinematic Universe's status quo near the end of season 1 proved to be just the creative boost the show needed.

Upon returning for season 2, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." had gained a newfound confidence. Its characters began to take on greater dimensions, it really embraced the idea of being a show about everyday people trying to keep the world safe, and it even started...

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. made a mark as the first series set in the MCU but hasn't received recognition from Marvel for its contribution.

Marvel seems to have distanced itself from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., contrasting with its active acknowledgment of the Marvel shows previously on Netflix.

When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered on ABC in 2013, the series received a considerable amount of hype, in large part, because of its tangible connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Clark Gregg was taking his fan-favorite character, Agent Phil Coulson, out of the films and was allowed to headline his own series that would potentially expand on his mythology. It was also marketed as the first series to be set in the MCU, even acknowledging the continuity of the films and other TV series. However,...

Secret Invasion has officially wrapped up its run on Disney+, marking the first series in Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The limited series, which adapts the classic 2008 Marvel Comics storyline of the same name, revealed that the shape shifting Skrulls had infiltrated Earth decades ago. Forced to take care of this problem without the help of the Avengers, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and a few key allies embarked on a paranoid thriller that ultimately didn't live up to its comic book counterpart.

Secret Invasion's finale was the McU's lowest-rated episode on Rotten Tomatoes, proving that the series ultimately didn't resonate with most audiences and critics. Marketed as a paranoia-filled spy thriller with endless twists and turns, Secret Invasion fell short of expectations in many ways despite having several solid episodes during its run. While the McU's latest installment didn't live up to the hype, another series in...

"Who is really behind the mysterious abduction, and who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?"

In addition to Thurman, the ensemble cast for Suspicion includes Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory...

Apple TV+ thriller “Suspicion” is set to hit the sales block in Cannes at this year’s MipTV market.

Keshet International has revealed that the eight-part series starring Uma Thurman will headline its drama slate at the spring TV market in France, which kicks off on April 17. The Israeli TV distributor will shop linear rights for the series.

Apple TV+ commissioned Keshet U.K. to produce “Suspicion,” which is based on the popular Israeli series “False Flag” and launched on the service in February 2022.
