"Supergirl" TV series cast is growing week by week. After confirming new villains two weeks ago, the upcoming CBS superhero show has added one hero but nemesis to Melissa Benoist's Kara Danvers/Supergirl.
TV Line reported Jenna Dewan Tatum, wife of Channing Tatum who will play Marvel character Gambit in a feature film, has been cast as Lucy Lane also known as Superwoman.
"This fall, Supergirl will be giving some serious side-eye to Jenna Dewan-Tatum; The Witches of East End alumna will recur as Lucy Lane on the CBS drama, TVLine has confirmed.
As we first reported, Lucy - sister of Lois Lane - is brash, funny and successful in her own right. In keeping with DC Comics lore, she will also be an ex-girlfriend of Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), Kara's new CatCo media conglom colleague. (Considering Kara's immediate crush on Jimmy in the series' pilot episode, Lucy's presence will not be a welcome one.)"
There is no assurance yet whether new "Supergirl" TV series cast Dewan-Tatum will wear the cape in the show but there is a possibility she will form rivalry with Kara Danvers.
Just few weeks ago, "Supergirl" TV series cast welcomed Chris Browning from FX series "Sons of Anarchy" as villain Reactron and Peter Facinelli of "Nurse Jackie" as Maxwell Lord who had some run ins with the Justice League in the comics many times.
Other parts of "Supergirl" TV series cast are Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, David Harewood as Hank Henshaw, and Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers. Also in the show are former Supergirl Helen Slater as scientist and Kara's foster mother and former Superman Dean Cain as a scientist and Kara's foster father.
