Rumors (with 83% proability) of Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang), Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luther), both main casts of the award winning TV Series adaptation of Superman’s life “Smallville“, leaving the show has been running all around the internet. And let me just say, they are all wrong.

Why?

Coz their not just rumors, but real news. (Haha, pretty clever huh?)

According to snoops from tvguide.com, both Kristin and Michael already gave notice to the show, and the network at large, of their intentions not to return as stars in the upcoming 8th season of the show, which would probably be it’s last season. For good reasons though, as both of them have learned a lot (and got a lot of fame) with the whole experience which started way back in 2001, and figured that it’s time to pursue a more wider career into stardom. Everything has to change after all, and this obviously is for the better (career-wise).

As to where they would go, and what projects are at hand? Nothing is surely verified yet, but rumors says Kristin Kreuk is suiting up for the role of famous video game character “Chun Li“, for the upcoming Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. For michael however, no reports were said yet. But with his talent, and reputation, that won’t be a hard time.

Fans, don’t be sad yet. Because both Kristin and Michael have been open to probable guesting roles with Smallville for season 8.

3Critical:

1. Smallville Gets Smaller - and unfortunately for Clark, there literally won’t be left for him to fight for. The show might just drop, coz we all know most fans stood still because of Lana, or of Lex, and not all on Clark and others.
2. How bout Hitman? - if they’re really desperate to look for Lex’s replacement, I would suggest they take the guy from the movie Hitman. Just say he had an accident, and made a surgery or something.
3. Heroes and Zeroes - those who really want to be a hero, think twice. Hereos don’t have holidays, and mostly, all the one’s they love (and hate) eventually goes away. Except for Bond…. James Bond.
