Smallville’s Supergirl joins the Cast of Supergirl!

Some exciting news tonight as word has come out that actress Laura Vandervoort who played Supergirl on Smallville, will be joining the cast of ‘Supergirl‘ on CBS! This time around, she will not be a hero however, as she is slated to play the super villain ‘Indigo‘! Check out more on this below, and share your thoughts AFTER THE JUMP!

CBS’s Supergirl is getting double the Kara Danvers when Laura Vandervoort guest stars on the DC Comics drama. The Canadian actress, who played Kara/Supergirl on the CW’s long-running Smallville, is set to play escaped villain Indigo on the new series. How meta!
Producers of the show describe the character is “a living, strong-willed supercomputer that was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton,” and now that she’s on Earth she’ll “let nothing stand in her way.”
Vandervoort will recur on the series, which stars Melissa Benoist as young assistant/part-time superhero Kara/Supergirl.
Also cast on the show is soap star Jeff Branson, who will recur as Master Jailer, Fort Rozz’s powerful and brutal jail guard who shows no mercy. He’s hell-bent on capturing all of the prison’s escapees and bringing them to justice.
