The following contains Minor Spoilers for Season 8 of The CW show "Smallville." In the wake of the cast exodus from "Smallville," fans of the series have something to be thankful for ... the full-time addition of DC Comics hero the Green Arrow. The emerald clad archer -- played by Justin Hartley -- will be appearing on a permanent basis in the eighth season of the superhero series in an attempt to bring a familiar face to the series, especially due to the many changes the show will go through next year.

Actor Michael Rosenbaum is set to leave the cast of Smallville at the end of the U.S. TV series' current season.

Rosenbaum, who plays Superman's arch enemy Lex Luthor, has been with the show since it began in 2001 - but has decided to pursue other projects.

In a joint statement, the show's executive producers Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson said, "It has been an honour and pleasure to work with Michael for the past six seasons.

"He is one of the best actors on television and has never failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every episode.

"While Michael won't be a series regular and we won't have the pleasure of working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we haven't seen the last of Lex Luthor. Stay tuned."

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old has penned a handwritten note to thank the show's cast, crew and fans.

Before this rumor spreads like wildfire we're going to put it out. Cinema Blend reported that Michael Rosenbaum has been "lunching" with Michael Bay and implies that this means that the "Smallville" star is in talks to play Freddy Krueger in Platinum Dunes' remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. How two people having lunch turns into a casting speculation is hilarious to me, especially when Platinum Dunes is casting two other movies at the moment. But back on track, we checked our sources and have confirmed that this news is 100% pure Bs - even to the extent that Michael Bay has Not has lunch with Rosenbaum. Worst rumor of the year so far. Keep 'em coming.
