Casting for CBS's upcoming superhero drama, Supergirl, is currently underway and with that a ton of new casting information has been released. Yesterday, we were able to see character casting descriptions for Kara & her foster sister Alex, which you can revisit by clicking HERE, and today we have descriptions for four more series regular roles, including a potential love interest, a potential ally, and two more than likely villains. Check it out below!
CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl’s mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as “J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour.”
JAMES OLSEN | In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol’ crush from Kara.
WINSLOW ‘WYNN’ SCHOTT | This twentysomething tech whiz/Comic-Con stalwart toils for CatCo as a programmer, unaware of his own (toying?) potential. Unware of her secret, he carries a torch for Kara, whom he lives next door to.
HANK HENSHAW | As an upstart CIA agent, Hank grew obsessed with intergalactic intel. Now in his 40s and lording over the DEO (Department of Extra-Normal Operations), he is on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind.
Toyman? Cyborg Superman? Interesting additions! While there has still been no mention of whether or not we'll see Kara's famous cousin, it does sound like this show is heading in the right direction. Sound off with your thoughts below!
