Thomas Lennon to play Mister Mxyzptlk on Supergirl

Kara Danvers is currently dealing with the eradication of all reality in The CW’s Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover spectacular, but when the dust clears on the multiverse (assuming there is still a multiverse) she’s going to have a new extra-dimensional annoyance to deal with. According to Deadline, lovable-ish fifth-dimensional imp Mister Mxyzptlk is returning to Supergirl, and this time he’ll be played by legitimately lovable fifth-dimensional imp Thomas Lennon. The last time Mxyzptlk appeared on Supergirl, he was played by Peter Gadiot and—going by the name “Mxy”—tried to trick Kara into marrying him, but Deadline notes that the character’s endless array of magical powers mean there’s no reason he can’t show up as a totally different guy this time.
