SUPERGIRL Recasts VP Role With Bruce Boxleitner!

In a quick turn of events, Brent Spiner has dropped out of the role of the Vice President for the upcoming season of Supergirl, due to scheduling conflicts. One can only hope those conflicts involve him joining up with Patrick Stewart on the new Star Trek series. On the Supergirl side of things, the role of the Vice President has been recast with Bruce Boxleitner (Tron, Babylon 5, NCIS). Check out more on this below and let us know your thoughts on these developments AFTER THE JUMP!

Vice President Baker will now be played by Bruce Boxleitner (Tron, Babylon 5, NCIS). The character is described as an unlikely leader who will nonetheless step up in a big way when his country needs him. Boxleitner follows recent new additions to the series that include Rhona Mitra as the villainous Mercy Graves, Robert Baker as Mercy’s brother Otis, Sam Witwer as Agent Liberty, and Nicole Maines as television’s first transgender superhero Dreamer.

Season 3 saw Supergirl stop Reign and the other Worldkillers’ threat to humanity and our planet, and in the process, Kara was shocked to find her mother Alura alive and living in a salvaged Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton. Reconnecting with her past caused Kara to realize that her true home is now here on Earth, where big changes are taking place for her and all of her friends in National City – and also, it appears, for a doppelganger in Russia! Season four promises to be full of surprises, action, adventure and lots of big revelations for Supergirl, Alex, James, J’onn, Lena and Brainy.
