Remember how Superman was only seen via computer text messages and maybe in shadow or just his boots in Season 1?

That’s going to change in Supergirl Season 2, premiering this Fall on The CW.

Screen Shot 2015-10-04 at 10.44.35 AM KryptonSite has learned that the iconic character of Superman will first be seen visiting his cousin Kara in National City at the beginning of the series’ second season, and the producers are currently in the casting process for this role.

“Greg, Ali and I are beyond thrilled to welcome Clark Kent and his slightly-more-famous alter ego to the world of Supergirl,” Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement. “Superman will be appearing in the first two episodes of the new season and we cannot wait to see who next dons the red cape!”

Now, who should play Superman? Offer your thoughts in the comments section below! Just remember before you do, the last guy to play Superman on The CW seemed allergic to wearing costumes, so he might not be too likely…

It was so stupid not allowing him on that show to begin with. The public is smart enough to know Superman is a comic book icon and can handle more than one person playing the part.

Tom Welling is the ONLY choice for a TV Superman. I wish they would just cast him!

Out of everyone who’s played superman, I say Henry Cavill was been the best. He should play superman on supergirl.

I would like to see Tom Welling do it, but I don’t think its likely. It needs to be someone a little older than Supergirl so I would hope its a good actor, one who fits the role. Armie Hammer had been up for the movies, so I think he would be a good choice as well.

TYLER HOECHLIN!

I mean I love Tom Welling and he was great as Clark Kent for 10 years, but no matter how big of a Smallville fan I am I think that Supergirl deserves to stay fresh so why not have a new actor play Clark? I think Tyler HOECHLIN definitely has the right look to be Clark and is a talented actor who would do great in the role.

  Just saw a picture of Tyler with Clark style glasses on. Yes, he could easly pass as either Clark or Superman. Although I would like to see Tom in the suit, Tyler would be a great choice!!!!

Superman must be in the mega-crossover. I think it’s Superman in the Kryptonian pod as he could be from another universe. I hope Tom Welling plays him and Henry Cavill is tied to Justice League. I wonder if Superman will get a spin-off show from Supergirl.

  Superman already had a ten-year show on The CW…. I’d rather they focus on Supergirl.

    I understand why you feel that way, but anything involving more Superman on our screens and in our lives is great in my opinion. Since multiple earths have been introduced on the Flash, it’s a total possibility that Tom Welling could appear on Supergirl as Superman. He could be on the ship that landed in the season finale and Kara could explain to him about there being multiple earths. Heck, it wouldn’t even be that hard since alternate universes were also used on Smallville. If it’s not Tom, my next choice is the erstwhile Superman, Brandon Routh. Since we’ve already seen previous Superman actors playing different roles in this universe it would make sense. However, since he may be tied up playing Ray Palmer, it may not be a possibility. I would also not mind someone of James Marsden’s caliber or someone like Adam Gregory. It’s hard because there aren’t very many 6 foot tall, black-haired, blue-eyed, chiseled-jawed actors out there, but TOM has my approval ALL THE WAY!!!

I would prefer someone new to play Superman.

Though a part of me wants Superman to be played by Brandon Routh only so Kara can say “you look familiar” when she meets Ray Palmer in the crossover.

Tom welling. We watched your show for 10 years and the anti climax was palpable and throughly annoying. Please give us what we deserve for supporting you for so long. Tom Welling is the only choice for a TV based Superman. I, among plenty of others will start watching this show every week without fail as I feel it would gain a greater feeling of completeness. Please please please make it so!

No Welling. No Cavill. And as much as I’d like to see it, I’m not optimistic on Routh reprising the role, either.

You have two former SUPERMAN actors on the CW now in Cain and Routh. Look for both and Welling to pop up on LEGENDS or their version of Crises.

  I still want Welling as Ray Palmer’s brother Sidney. No interest in him playing Superman since he wouldn’t put on a costume for his own show.

With Supergirl moving to the CW I hope one of my favorite characters ‘the Martian Manhunter’ will show up on Legends of Tomorrow. I really don’t care who plays Superman, I’m sure they will cast someone new that is good.

Smallville

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.

Published

6 months ago

June 12, 2024

Craig Byrne

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.

Published

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!
