Highlights from the Supergirl SDCC Panel

The cast of Supergirl took over Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic Con yesterday, July 23. Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, Jeremy Jordan, Dave Harewood and newcomer, Tyler Hoechlin were all on hand to talk about their superhero show.

During the panel, it was revealed that the cast and crew were excited to crossover with the other DC shows this coming December, but remained mum on how the crossover will happen. They also revealed little tidbits about the upcoming season in that Kara and her cousin, Clark Kent (Hoechlin) will be butting heads this coming season and new character, Snapper Carr will not really like Kara or Supergirl.

The cast also talked about their characters during the panel. Highlights include Dave revealing that he had no idea his character would ultimately become the Martian Manhunter, but was ecstatic to see the fans reactions to the reveal.

Jeremy hoped that Winn would begin to reach his full potential in the second season and that fans can look forward to Winn being even more techie in the new season. Mehcad spoke a little about the James/Kara relationship in the upcoming season saying that the two characters are still trying to find themselves, so that might make things a little difficult for them as a couple.

Tyler also spoke about how excited he was to be taking on the iconic role of Superman, but it is still surreal that he is playing the Man of Steel. He also let the audience know he has not tried on the suit yet, but believes that will be the moment it all becomes real for him.

Production on Season 2 of the show will begin tomorrow, July 25 in Vancouver! This panel was so much fun. You could really tell how much this cast appreciates one another and love working with one another. Such a great panel!
