He also touches on Lex’s future; a dark reflection that was hinted towards and emphasized for viewers. According toCudlitz, that seemingly absurd plot that involves destroying theLane-Kent family actually stems from an all too relatable idea. This crazy idea which creates that huge villain's drive for actions, all centered around a uniquely terrible pain from Lex’s daughter, something that truly impacted him. This sets the story's plot up so much differently – it provides rationale behind the character’s seemingly senseless brutality. And it gets even more complicated!
A seriously awesome aspect discussed withCudlitz: It seems that his own daughter, who was recently confirmed in earlier casting reveals (played by Elizabeth Henstridge) will actually have some time on screen; and we get that tiny little tidbit which creates more suspense: their working together and what this might actually mean is unknown and certainly ambiguous, for many fans. Will we see that reconciliation of family issues; or more mayhem and destruction?
Cudlitz got a fantastic chance – he directedepisode 8; one of the last few in the series! The inside scoop reveals his extremely positive experience– tight bonds with the cast and crew.

The details shared remains unfortunately somewhat secretive. The possibilities for how things might play out has immense potential:Superman might lack some key advantage as CudlitzmentionsSuperman might remain at some specific limitation during this entire fight! Could there be limitations? The ambiguity keeps it really exciting. The ending is very clearly uncertain.
This interview involved another fascinating angle – that wonderful behind-the-scenes perspective that involved Cudlitz, highlighting just how complex those relationships are on set:CudlitzpraisedTyler Hoechlin’s (Superman) professionalism; highlightingHoechlin's extremely generous approach to collaborating; something especially valuable for a project already involved with several difficulties, but something greatly needed and impressive. This highlights a seriously good insight into some key elements of these major actors that should've received more notice! He is surprised how generous he was considering the situation: he is after all the main character in this particular show; being the star really doesn’t necessitate any interaction from other minor actors, even if this interaction is valuable. YetCudlitz'sappreciation is palpable – emphasizing an extremely well-known and valuable fact – how important this collaboration aspect becomes; impacting all parties involved during production itself.
Similar experiences and interactions transpired withBitsie Tulloch; the discussion on this topic brings many anecdotes highlighting various humorous interactions, from initial anxieties regarding portraying this intensely negativeLex Luthor toTulloch’s surprising reactions during their very first scenes that later transitioned to appreciation once the actors got to see their characters’ completed acting sequences, really conveying this unexpectedly deep bond that only transpires during specific professional collaborative events.
There’s a key plot device; a mysterious box, causingCudlitzto say, and warning that fans need to be paying serious attention to this storyline element; adding more anticipation for the near future; building suspense towards the ending itself!
