Will SUPERGIRL Be Played by VAMPIRE DIARIES Star Claire Holt?
It looks like DC Entertainment is getting closer to casting an actress to take on the title role in CBS's Supergirl series. They have been testing several actresses for the part and, according to The Wrap, actress Claire Holt is one of them. Holt is best know for her role on Vampire Diaries and its spinoff series The Originals. I don't watch either of those shows, so I have no idea if she's a talented actress or not. But she definitely seems to have the look for the character.
The new series will follow the "exploits of Kara Zor-El. Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she's been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin (also known as Superman). But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."
Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash) and Ali Adler (Chuck) are writing and executive producing the project. It was also recently revealed that Supergirl will possibly share the same universe as Arrow and The Flash.
What do you think of the possibility of Holt playing Supergirl?
