Young April O’Neil Is Now Young Supergirl

THR posted as an exclusive this morning that Malina Weissman has landed the role of Young Kara in Supergirl, which confirms that we will indeed see flashbacks at a certain point.

Weissman played a younger version of Megan Fox’s April O’Neil in last year’s Ninja Turtles movie.

We’d expect that her scenes will involve the character interacting with Laura Benanti’s Alura.

Melissa Benoist plays Kara at an adult age in the CBS pilot.

Supergirl is, of course, currently filming!

  • I can't wait to see what the pilot will look. It will be interested to how the writer make krypton look like in the end. It will be interested to see who will play Kara's birth father and her foster parent.

  • It's nice to see the original Kryptonsite back Craig, and it is for a new Krypton DC character who is my favourite one Supergirl... I Can't Wait
