Lena Luthor, Maggie Sawyer, And More Among Five Major SUPERGIRL Season 2 Casting Additions
When Supergirl makes the leap from CBS to The CW this Fall, she's bringing a whole new batch of comic book characters with her! Hit the jump for details on five major new additions to the series...
TV Line has the scoop on some major additions coming to Supergirl this Fall, and one of the biggest is Lex Luthor's sister, Lena. The character recently made her presence felt in The New 52 Universe when she betrayed her brother and unleashed the Amazo Virus in Metropolis. That version is wheelchair bound, but it doesn't sound as this one will be as the network is looking for actresses in the 25 - 35 year old range, and it's said that she, "arrives in town to get out from under the shadow of her infamous brother. She’s described as sexy and smart and determined to get what she wants. But what does she want? That remains unclear."
We're also going to be meeting Nick Farrow (another series regular) who is said to be a brash leading man who ends up butting heads with Cara at CatCo. Nick is a famous reporter who is, "looking to make a name for himself in the news world but the question of whether he can leave behind his former selfish and hedonistic ways will constantly arise. In hanging out with Kara, the hero in Nick might finally come out." It definitely sounds like this could be a comic book character going by a different name as there is no Nick Farrow in the DC Universe!
The other three roles are The Doctor, "the diabolical female leader of Project Cadmus who uses her surgical skills to implant prisoners with alien technology" (the site theorises that this could be Sterling Roquette), Snapper Carr, "a veteran journalist appointed by Cat to remake the news division by going old school," and Maggie, "an out and proud detective for the newly formed Science Police, which deals specifically with metahuman and alien threats." That's Maggie Sawyer, the girlfriend of Batwoman in the comic books. This is certainly an interesting mix of characters, and it's pretty clear that some shake-ups are coming to Supergirl in its second season. Expect more details to be revealed at Comic-Con next month. Which of these characters are you most excited to see?
