Why Jonathan Kent Was Recast In Superman & Lois Season 3

The role of Jonathan Kent was recast for Superman and Lois season 3, raising many questions for curious viewers of the DC show. The more athletic of Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s twin sons, Jonathan “Jon” Kent earned the quarterback position on the Metropolis High School varsity football team as a freshman. Lois and Clark were fearful that Jon’s natural talents were a sign that he was slowly developing Kryptonian superpowers, but it was their less outgoing son, Jordan, who followed in his father’s footsteps as a superhero by gaining his powers first, with Jonathan’s own only temporarily manifesting as a result of taking X-Kryptonite.
