The casting for CBS' upcoming
Supergirl live-action tv show is currently underway, and TV Line has managed to
get some details on two of the lead characters, namely Supergirl and her
sister.
"For Kara
Zor-El aka Kara Danvers, the show is eyeing Caucasian females,
age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was
sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by
the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her
extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade,
Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected
disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins
embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning
herself a super moniker along the way.
The other lead role currently
being cast is that of 26-year-old Alexandra
“Alex” Danvers, Kara’s gorgeous, brilliant, science-minded
foster sister. Growing up, Alex was partly jealous of her sibling yet also
fascinated by her abilities, prompting Alex to learn as much as she could about
alien anthropology, sociology and culture. Today, Alex works for a secret
government organization and, alongside her heroic sis, will face many
challenges, both mundane and super."
