TCA News: Mon-El Confirmed, Miss Martian & Musical Episode Coming

Article arrow_drop_down

The Television Critics Association press tour featured the superhero shows of The CW today, and some Supergirl news and spoilers were revealed.

Here are some highlights:

  • Chris Wood’s character is indeed Mon-El, and yes, he’s the one in the pod.
  • Sharon Leal will be appearing in Supergirl Season 2 as Miss Martian.
  • There will indeed be a musical crossover with The Flash. Since Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin both sang on Glee, this would be a natural thing.
  • A character on one of the DCTV shows is going to be exploring their sexuality and coming out of the closet. They didn’t say which show this is from, but they’re totally talking about Winn, right?

    I doubt the person exploring her/her sexuality is Winn. Most likely Sara, as Caity Lotz already has stated her character would be playing the field with a girlfriend or two.

    So why do they have to throw in crap about homosexuals in everything?

      I’d kindly like you to leave your homophobic crap comments elsewhere and go somewhere else for Supergirl news, because that kind of commentary is not tolerated or welcome here. It’s 2016, not 1916. Get over yourself.

    Its not homophobia, Gomez Munoz is right, I love Supergirl and Flash but we already have too many heroes and gay characters in the Berlanti universe. Maggie Sawyer, Mr. Terrific, the police boss at Flash, White Canary, Mon-El, clearly in yesterday’s Supergirl episode. And Winn and Alex might be gay too. As a straight viewer I’m starting to feel alienated.

      You just listed about 5 characters out of hundreds. If you’re that threatened by such a small percentage of characters, which isn’t even comparable to the percentage of LGBT population in real life, then yes, it is homophobia.

      Mon-El is VERY straight (as we will certainly see in “Crossfire”) and considering Winn’s relationship with Siobhan and anything new that may come in the future, pretty sure he’s straight, too. But I find it very sad that people who watch a show that in itself is about acceptance have problems or disrespect for those who want to be accepted.
