A style sheet spotlighting the outfit that'll be donned by Yolanda Montez, aka Wildcat, in the upcoming Stargirl series has been shared to Instagram by costume designer Gina Flanagan, and it provides a much better look at the (mostly) comic-accurate character design.
For the most part, Courtney Whitmore's (Brec Bassinger) JSA teammates have been absent from the marketing for Stargirl, but we did recently get a first glimpse of Wildcat on a poster. The character will be played by Rambo: Last Blood actress Yvette Monreal.
In the comics, Montez inherits the mantle of Wildcat from her godfather Ted Grant after he's crippled during the events of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline. Unlike Grant, Yolanda is actually a metahuman with cat-like abilities, although we're not sure if that's going to be the case for her live-action counterpart.
We recently found out that Stargirl had been delayed, but only by a week. The show will now hit DC Universe on Monday, May 18th, and make its broadcast TV debut on The CW the following day, Tuesday, May 19th, at 8/7c.
Do you guys plan on giving Stargirl a shot? Let us know in the comments.
