Supergirl Season 2: What’s In The Pod?

KryptonSite asks about this season’s Supergirl cliffhanger.

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 6.15.17 PM Now that the Supergirl season finale has aired on the East Coast, we have some questions. The biggest, of course, is “When are we going to find out about Supergirl Season 2?”

We’re assuming that’ll happen so the next order of business is wondering what it is that came to Earth in a pod much like Kara’s. Here are some guesses on our end:

Krypto: A Superdog. But do we really need a Superdog on TV? We’re pet lovers here, but that might be kind of anticlimactic.

Power Girl: What if a Supergirl from another Earth came through on a pod like Kara’s? If not the adult Power Girl, maybe “another” Kara who looks like her younger self?

Superboy: Because why not? We think his story will be saved for Cadmus, though.

Jeremiah Danvers: An adult probably can’t fit in the ship, but maybe some Kryptonians kept it for safe-keeping of some sort.

A Message: What if there’s not a being in there, but another message or collection of messages from Krypton, warning of a Season 2 threat?

What do you think it was? Leave comments below or come post on our Supergirl forum over the summer! Individual episode discussion for “Better Angels” can be found here.

I think it will be either her mom or dad or maybe someone who survived from krypton or it could be some kind of device to help kara

So why did they report hiring a “young Clark Kent” sometime around mid season and then not use him?? Will he be used for season 2 without them even getting an official order?

  They did, in “For The Girl Who Has Everything.” It’s just outlets (including this one, unfortunately) made a bigger deal out of it than it needed to be.

It needn’t be from another universe. Kara and her pod could have been quantum duplicated while in the Phantom Zone, and this is literally her again.

When I watched live I thought it was Zor-El only because in the Post-Flashpoint continuity in the comics he was the villain Cyborg Superman. The only reason against that is I think they are setting Jeremiah Danvers up to be Cyborg Superman.

I think it is her Mother in the pod. And Jeremiah danvers is Kal El.. Hence the messaging.

First off Candor was a city from Krypton. I think it might be H’-El who tried to destroy the earths sun with the help of the Kryptonian power source now in the hands of the Gov’t and Max Lord, to go back in time to stop the destruction Krypton

Supergirl & Smallville Writers Have A New Comic Book-Inspired Series

Eric Carrasco, Alfredo Septien, and Turi Meyer will be showrunners for El Gato starring Diego Boneta.

Prime Video, which recently has been the home of some of the best comic book-inspired series with shows like Invincible and The Boys, is currently casting a live-action adaptation of the comic book series El Gato Negro by Richard Dominguez. (El Gato Negro translates to “The Black Cat,” so we wouldn’t be surprised if there is a title change to avoid Marvel’s Black Cat.) With the working title El Gato, the showrunners include veterans from Supergirl and Smallville.

Eric Carrasco wrote several memorable episodes of Supergirl between Seasons 2 and 4 and eventually served as a story editor on the series. He wrote the Justice League vs. the Fatal Five animated feature and is a producer for Zack Snyder’s upcoming Twilight of the Gods. He’s also been an Uber — err Ride Me Now driver for two stoners from New Jersey in their reboot movie. What’s also very cool about Eric is that one of his earliest industry jobs was working on a TV series called Smallville. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.

The other two showrunners need no introduction when it comes to Smallville – Alfredo Septien & Turi Meyer were among the most prolific writers for the show, on the team for six seasons with episodes including “Vengeance,” “Labyrinth,” “Bride,” “Salvation,” and “Finale Part 1.” Turi Meyer also directed two episodes of Smallville, and the two of them returned to the DC Universe with DC’s Stargirl on The CW in recent years.

The series will star Diego Boneta as the main character, Frank Guerrero, who returns home to Mexico after the death of his father and finds himself neck-deep in a nest of vipers – his estranged family – who are vying for control of his father’s business empire. But Frank’s grief is interrupted when he learns his only inheritance, a seemingly worthless parcel of land on the border, sits atop the lair of a famous costumed vigilante — his father, “El Gato.” Now, Frank is in the crosshairs. To survive, he’ll have to solve mysteries decades in the making and unravel the truth about his father’s connections to a modern-day terror plot.

“This is a pulp thriller,” Eric Carrasco said in a quote posted by Variety earlier this year. “It’s a family drama, it’s everything I love about spies and masks and secret identities. A lot of us on this team – Diego, and Andrew Mittman, and Steve Stark, and Carla Gonzalez Vargas, and I – have been at this for a long time now, and it’s a genuine thrill to finally make the show with MGM Television and Prime Video.”

El Gato will be produced by MGM Television which is part of Amazon MGM Studios. Hopefully we’ll learn more about this project as development progresses! For now, though, congratulations to Eric, Al, and Turi!

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Release Date Announced

The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film is currently scheduled for a 2026 release.

The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film has had a release date announced — and it’s less than a year after James Gunn’s Superman.

Warner Bros. announced Tuesday that the new film for the Maid of Might — based on the comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely — is on the schedule for June 26, 2026. Of course, plans can and often do change, but that’s where it’s set for now. The film is said to “depart from the earnest take on the character” that was seen on The CW’s Supergirl TV series.

Milly Alcock will play Supergirl, and it is expected that we will see her before this movie — in Superman, perhaps? Craig Gillespie (Cruella) is the director.

New Supergirl Featurette Includes Laura Vandervoort, Melissa Benoist & More

Supergirl actresses Laura Vandervoort, Melissa Benoist, Sasha Calle, and Helen Slater are included in a retrospective featurette on The Flash Blu-ray.

One of the rare good elements from the recent Flash movie was the inclusion of Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and now, we can revisit her and a few old Supergirl favorites, as Laura Vandervoort (Smallville), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl TV series from The CW & CBS), and Helen Slater (movies’ original Supergirl) are all included on a featurette on The Flash movie home release. These are all new interviews with the actresses, and in some cases, these are their first interviews about the character in years. The title of the featurette is “Supergirl: The Last Daughter of Krypton.”

Although a Twitter/X report from “Sennaverse” on Twitter notes that the documentary can be found on the MAX streaming service, we have had no luck finding it there so far. The featurette is included, however, with purchase of The Flash movie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. The set is due for release on Tuesday, August 29. You can purchase that here and support KryptonSite if you wish!

We’re looking forward to seeing these new interviews and spotlight on the Woman of Tomorrow!
