After a brief tease last year, it was officially announced back in June that original Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter had joined the cast of Supergirl season 2 as the President Of The United States, and now, Melissa Benoist has provided us with a behind-the-scenes photo that gives us our first look at Carter on-set alongside Benoist's titular heroine.
Carter is expected to recur, so expect to see a lot of her throughout the season. On another note, with Supergirl now on The CW and possibly a few episodes away from merging Earths with the rest of the Berlanti-verse, could Carter's duties as President extend to The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow as well or will she be strictly limited to Supergirl? Only time will tell, but in the mean time, check out the photo of Benoist & Carter below:
UPDATE: The first batch of set photos with Carter filming scenes with a very cheerful Benoist have surfaced, check them out at Just Jared:
The hour-long drama centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
