Wolé Parks has been cast as ‘The Stranger’ in CW’s Superman & Lois, according to Deadline. No, not Marvel’s Elder of the Universe Stranger… could they be referring to DC’s Phantom Stranger?
The Hollywood trade describes ‘The Stranger’ as “a mysterious visitor hellbent on proving to the world that it no longer needs Superman.”
DC’s Phantom Stranger has sometimes been called “The Stranger” in DC comic books, and Deadline‘s description of the character as “hellbent” could allude to the character’s origin as a fallen angel.
Parks is best known for roles on CW’s All American and Paramount TV’s Yellowstone, and previously appeared on Vampire Diaries, Devious Maids and Next Caller.
The CW has ordered a 14-episode first season of Superman & Lois, however filming was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
