Emmanuelle Chriqui cast as Lana Lang in Superman and Lois
She is best known for her role in HBO's Entourage
The upcoming Superman television series has just cast an old flame of Clark Kent.
Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui will be a series regular on Superman and Lois in the role of Lana Lang, a figure from the hero's younger days growing up in Smallville.
When her friends moved away, she settled in the quaint town and got a job as a loan officer at the local bank, but becomes reacquainted with Kent at a particularly difficult point in her life.
The new series will be set in the so-called Arrowverse, currently populated by The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman and other DC Comics programmes.
Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf) will be reprising his role as the iconic superhero, which he has played on various television shows since 2016 - most recently taking part in the ambitious crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths.
