Superman has only been seen as a shadowy figure in the Supergirl series so far, but that could be about to change. A new report has indicated that the showrunners are looking to cast a teenage Kal-El for the show.
The series is said to be looking for a 13 year old actor that has “future leading man looks”.
Showrunner Andrew Kreisberg is quoted as saying the following:
“There really isn’t anything we’ve asked for that was not given to us, you know? The show’s called Supergirl and it’s about Supergirl. It’s not like we’ve been jonesing to have Superman on it. We also didn’t want to…you know, if you’re going to cast Superman, you’ve got cast Superman right! Just like when you think about all the time and effort and energy that’s gone into finding the cinematic Superman over the last thirty years. For us, Superman is more of an idea than it is a personification of the character, so we’re more than happy to have him backlit….It’s not like we’ve been asking for more Superman or can we do it like this or can we have him in this. For us, we’re perfectly happy with the amount of Superman that we’ve had because it’s the exact amount that we’ve asked for.”
Kal-El is reported to be a recurring role on Supergirl and the show would likely establish the bond between the cousins.
Thoughts on this report? Would you like to see Kal-El appear in Supergirl?
