Earlier this evening Arrowverse mastermind Marc Guggenheim set the internet ablaze by confirming a piece of news we have all been waiting and hoping for. Smallville star Tom Welling WILL be returning to the role of Clark Kent for Crisis On Infinite Earths.
EW confirmed the news which was also shared on social media by members of the production team.
“For eight years, Arrow has stood on the shoulders of Smallville,” Guggenheim said in a statement. “Simply put, there would be no Arrow, and no Arrowverse, without it. So when we first started talking about ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths,’ our first, second and third priorities were getting Tom to reprise his iconic role as Clark Kent. To say that we’re thrilled would be a Superman-sized understatement.”
At this stage we don’t have any details on how Clark will enter the fold. But we have been promised we’ll find out what he has been up to in the years since Smallville ended.
Crisis On Infinite Earths begins on December 8, 2019 with Supergirl and continues with Batwoman on December 9 and The Flash on December 10. The five-part crossover concludes with Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow both airing on January 14, 2020.
