CBS has cast two more DC characters for their upcoming Supergirl television series. David Harewood (Homeland) will play Hank Henshaw, while Chyler Leigh (Grey's Anatomy) will be playing Alexandra "Alex" Danvers.
The character of Henshaw is described as "a onetime CIA agent who now runs the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), which tracks extraterrestrial threats on Earth." While Alex's character is described as "the confident foster sister of Kara. Fascinated by Kara's powers from a young age, Alex developed a lifelong obsession with science that inspired her to become a doctor."
In the comics, Hank Henshaw becomes the Cyborg Superman after the Death of Superman storyline. Alex Danvers, of course, is the foster sister of Kara in the comics.
Supergirl is in development by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler and Sarah Sechter for CBS, and currently no premiere date has been assigned to the show.
