Lana Lang's whole world just got turned upside down. Last week on Superman & Lois, she realized her husband Kyle had gone behind her back and participated in Morgan Edge's secret "procedure." In the process, Edge implanted a Kryptonian consciousness within her husband, which means the Kyle she knows and loves could be replaced by an alien stranger at any time. Now, this has sent her down the path that will lead her to meet Superman -- who, unbeknownst to her, is actually her childhood best friend Clark Kent.
Speaking to CBR, Superman & Lois star Emmanuelle Chriqui previewed Lana's first encounter with the Man of Steel in "O Mother, Where Art Thou?," tonight's episode. She explained why this is one of her "favorite scenes" from the episode and compared Lana's experience to meeting "the biggest superstar that you could imagine." She also shared her own similarities to Lana, offered her thoughts about whether the show will explore Lana's past and more.
CBR: If you had to introduce Lana Lang to your friends, what would you tell them about them about her?
Emmanuelle Chriqui: Oh, that's such a good question! I would say that Lana is really super chill. She would be down for anything. She loves to have a good time. Maybe a little bit shy, isn't overly exuberant, per se, but she's really kind. She's fun. She's deep. A little bit reserved, but I think, with time, you can get to know her.
Which aspect of Lana do you relate to the most and why?
I relate to Lana's loyalty. I think, just in life, I'm a very loyal person. If you are part of my nearest and dearest, you know it and never question it. I think that that's very similar to Lana.
We've heard a little about Lana's high school years with Clark, but how will the show continue to explore her past moving forward?
I don't know the answer to that. I don't know what the creators have in store. If I were to guess, I would say not. I think that we've established that they've known each other for most of their lives, that they're best friends, that they adore each other, but I think it's much more about the present day.
As revealed by the photos from next week's episode, we see Lana run into a character she's never "met" before: Superman. What should fans expect from that interaction?
Literally, it's one of my favorite scenes of the episode, to be honest with you. I feel like it's this moment, where it could be Lana, it could be anybody! Imagine that moment where you make the biggest superstar that you could imagine meeting in your lifetime. It's that moment. It's when Lana meets Superman, and she's literally dumbstruck, floored by it. I think that's such a relatable moment for most people. That's what it would feel like.
What is one moment or scene from the episode that you cannot wait for fans to see?
Can we use the teaser of when Lana meets Superman? I mean, I'm just so excited for that. I'm so excited for that scene, because when I read it, it felt like -- in the universe, the Superman universe -- it felt like a really sweet and yet iconic moment, of these two finally meeting.
