CHASING LIFE Actress Italia Ricci Joins SUPERGIRL As 'Silver Banshee'

Melissa Benoist's Supergirl is going to have a powerful baddie to worry about, as Canadian actress Italia Ricci has joined the cast of the CBS show as Siobhan Smythe, aka DC super villain Silver Banshee.

According to ET, Italia Ricci will make her debut as Silver Banshee in episode 14 of Supergirl. It seems the character will be introduced as a new CatCo employee, who starts out as a work nemesis for Kara but goes on to cause even bigger problems for her caped alter ego when she becomes the dangerous supervillian.

The comic book incarnation of Silver Banshee is almost as powerful as Supergirl, and has that sonic scream for added weakening effect - so it should be interesting to see the two clash.

"We are so excited to be working with Italia. We've been a fan of her work for years and we cannot wait to see her take on this iconic comic book role,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement.

Supergirl airs Mondays at 8 p.m. PT/ET on CBS.
