LexCorp has found its leader.

The search for Lex Luthor on The CW series Supergirl has finally come to an end.

The super villain will be played by notoriously nice Two and a Half Men actor, Jon Cryer.

“We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor,” said Supergirl executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller.

“Jon is a super-talent, and the fact that he played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV brings an added layer of legacy to his casting. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome Jon to the Supergirl family.”

The 53 year old will play the baddie who has already been incarcerated in The CW series, while his half-sister, Lena Luthor (played by Katie McGrath), is running LuthorCorp which she has re-branded as L-Corp.

Job make his debut in the role on the 15th episode of Supergirl’s 4th season, which is currently airing.

We can’t wait to see him with that signature shaven head!
