Why Jonathan Kent Was Recast In Superman & Lois Season 3

The role of Jonathan Kent was recast for Superman and Lois season 3, but why? 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. Surprisingly, Jon was supportive of his brother and rarely showed signs of being jealous of his powers, even after being confronted with his superpowered doppelganger from Bizarro World.
While roles are often recast on popular television shows, the Arrowverse series have had surprisingly few recasts over the years. The most famous one came in Batwoman season 2, where Wallis Day replaced Ruby Rose as Kate Kane, after the original Batwoman had her face altered by Black Mask. Something similar happened in Black Lightning season 4, with Laura Karuki seemingly replacing China Ann McClain as Jennifer Pierce, before "JJ" was exposed as an imposter. It remains to be seen if a similar explanation will be offered for why Jonathan Kent looks different in Superman and Lois season 3, but the question remains – why was the role recast?
