19 years ago when Kristin Kreuk started on Smallville, she wasn’t the first actress to play Lana Lang, and in fact, a former “Lana” appeared on the show with her, as Clark Kent’s mother was played by Annette O’Toole of Superman III fame. Now, with Superman & Lois approaching in January 2021 with Emmanuelle Chriqui in the role of Lana, the Lana Lang legacy continues.

TVLine interviewed Kristin Kreuk recently and asked her about the notion of someone new taking on the iconic role. You can read the entire interview here. In the piece, Kreuk — who now stars on Burden of Truth for The CW — told the website that the idea of seeing Lana’s legacy live on is “great.”

“I don’t know a ton about the show, but it sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Kristin said. She’s a great character, and with the freedom that’s afforded creators right now in regards to comic book characters, I think they can adjust and adapt her into a more modern position in the world.”

“I imagine that Lana is a very different character in a different universe,” Kristin said about this new take on the character. “I am excited to… hear about how the show portrays her. She’s an interesting character in the canon, so having her be in a predominant role on this new show is awesome.” Kreuk also had very kind things to say about Emmanuelle Chriqui, and talked about how “fun” it is to see Smallville incorporated in the current comic book shows. And, yes, she again has said she’d possibly guest star on an Arrowverse series if asked, “depending on what it was.”

Smallville’s Annette O’Toole recently spoke with Salon magazine about her biggest regret from her time on the show. It’s a topic she has discussed on the TalkVille podcast, and it is something she talked about in KryptonSite’s interview to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series premiere.

Basically, it was the notion that she never was able to share scenes with Christopher Reeve. While the plan originally was for a scene between them in the Season 4 premiere “Crusade,” in the two appearances that Reeve did make on Smallville failed to reunite O’Toole with Reeve, which is a shame, as Annette played Lana Lang to Christopher Reeve’s Clark Kent in the film Superman III.

“I never understood it,” she said. “I should have picked up the phone and called the producers and said what are you thinking? You’ve got the prior Lana Lang and Superman. Why aren’t you putting them in a scene together? It kind of broke my heart. It was kind of like ‘if they don’t see, I’m not gonna tell ’em! They don’t understand!’ So who’s regretting it? Not them. I knew it would be the last time I’d ever get to see Chris, so, yeah, I’m very sad about that.”
