Inside Superman & Lois’ “Whirlwind” Casting of Michael Bishop

It’s two birds, it’s two planes… it’s Superman & Lois.

When the superhero show returns for season three on The CW, the DC cast will be down one familiar face with former series regular Jordan Elsass being replaced by newcomer Michael Bishop. Stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch explained how they welcomed their newest castmate into the family ahead of the March 14 season premiere.

“It was a bit of a whirlwind because it all happened really fast,” Tulloch exclusively told E! News March 9. “We had all just gotten back to Vancouver ourselves for the beginning and then we got the news. It was a little bit shocking for everyone.”

She continued, “Michael was amazing and he actually flew up here from Australia and had a return ticket to Australia and then he got [the part] and he just kind of stayed.”
