Superman & Lois star Alex Garfin isn’t ready to hang up Jordan Kent’s super suit just yet.
On Monday, December 2, Superman & Lois aired its final episode on The CW, capping off a successful four-season run on the network. The Arrowverse-adjacent superhero series ended with Garfin’s Jordan Kent and his twin brother Jonathan (Michael Bishop) becoming full-fledged superheroes, working alongside their father, Clark Kent/Superman (Tyler Hoechlin), and John Henry Irons and Natalie Lane Irons to keep the world safe. While the series finale does feature multiple time jumps spanning 32 years, Garfin believes that there is still room to explore more of the Kent sons’ early days as superheroes.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Garfin outlined his idea for a spin-off series centered around Jordan and Jonathan that saw the characters “finally going to ‘college.’ The college turns out to be set up by the DoD, and it’s this place that the DoD is kind of keeping all these super-kids prisoner.”
The actor continued, “In a way, it’s a lot like the Tag Harris storyline, but it went [in] a bit of a different direction in that it turns out that this is actually an old, outdated program from the Soviet era, and that they’re keeping these kids almost like nuclear weapons, because the Soviets still have theirs. And eventually they’re fighting each other, but then they ended up teaming up, realizing that they were fighting other people’s wars and toppling governments. It got really political and strange and kind of a little more global. I would love to make that show a reality one of these days, I really would.”
Garfin isn’t the only Superman & Lois actor who is open for a spin-off return. Hoechlin recently shared that he too would be down to return as Clark Kent/Superman in a future DC project, noting how “the great thing about the [superhero] genre and the multiverse” is that “there’s always opportunities.” He highlighted animation as one possible avenue for a Superman & Lois spin-off, joking, “I don’t have to put the suit on for that, right?”
What’s next for the Superman franchise?
With Superman & Lois over, the only Man of Steel series remaining on the air is the animated My Adventures with Superman, which is currently in production on its third season. As for the big screen, the Big Blue Boy Scout is set to make his theatrical return in July 2025 with James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet. The movie will be the second installment in the DC Universe. Superman will be followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in 2026, with Milly Alcock in the title role of Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El.
