After starring in a pivotal episode last season in SMALLVILLE, Christopher Reeve will return to play astronomer Dr. Virgil Swann in an upcoming episode set for broadcast in April. KryptonSite reports that the announcement was made today at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. In a press release issued by The WB Television Network, this is how the episode in which Reeves will appear is described:

"Just as he did in his first appearance on the hit drama last season, Reeve's Dr. Swann will help advance the Superman mythology. As Lionel Luthor (John Glover) closes in on Clark Kent's (Tom Welling) secret, he approaches Dr. Swann for information. Concerned for Clark's safety, Dr. Swann warns him that Lionel is getting closer to the truth. Last season, Dr. Swann came into contact with Clark and filled him in on his origins and home planet of Krypton. The episode was one of the highest-rated in the history of the hit series."

KryptonSite believes the title of the episode is "Crisis" and that production on it happens next week.
