It’s unclear if the two are related, but TV Line is stating Supergirl is casting a young Kal-El, which will be featured in flashback scenes.
We’ve already seen Superman in the series, but only in blurred-out glimpses. According to the report, the show is seeking a 13-year-old actor with “future leading man looks” to play the potentially recurring role of Kal-El, aka the future MoS.
It’s said the 13-year-old Clark Kent will first appear in this season’s 13th episode “via a string of flashbacks that will establish the cherished bond between him and Kara.”
“Supergirl” airs Mondays on CBS.
