Superman is set to add steel to Supergirl‘s Back-9 and Season 2 ambitions.
Per TVLine, the show is seeking a 13-year-old actor with “future leading man looks” to play the potentially recurring role of Kal-El, aka the future Man of Steel.
Kids Supes will first appear in Season 1’s 13th episode via a sequence of flashbacks that will establish the cherished bond between him and Kara.
To date, CBS has only ordered 13 episodes of Supergirl, but the introduction of Superman is the latest indication that the series is confident of receiving the all-important Back-9 order that could also keep Kara flying all the way into Season 2.
Casting stunt or legitimate story development? Either way, the Cancellation Reaper is unmoved and is determined to ensure Superman’s arrival is the 13th and final episode of Supergirl.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Supergirl Season 2…
