Supergirl is undergoing another casting change as we approach its Sunday, Oct. 14 premiere (8/7c). Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5) will join the CW drama in the recurring role of Vice President Baker, TVLine has learned. He replaces Brent Spiner, who had to vacate the role due to family issues conflicting with the show’s production dates.
As previously reported, Vice President Baker is described as being “adept and politically minded.” And even though he “makes for an unlikely leader, [he] steps in a big way up when his country needs him most.”
Supergirl‘s fourth season is already shaping up to be one of change. Not only are Jeremy Jordan and Chris Wood not returning as series regulars, but the show is welcoming quite a few newcomers into the family. This season will introduce viewers to Rhona Mitra (Nip/Tuck) as DC villain Mercy Graves; Nicole Maines as Nia Nal (aka Dreamer), TV’s first transgender superhero; Sam Witwer (Being Human) as Agent Liberty, the leader of an anti-alien hate group; April Parker Jones as die-hard patriot Colonel Haley; and David Ajala (Falling Water) as shady character Manchester Black. Additionally, Jesse Rath (aka Brainy) has been promoted to series regular.
According to executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller, a major storyline in Season 4 will be inspired by DC Comics’ Red Son, which asks what would happen if Superman had landed in Russia as a baby, rather than in the United States. (The final scene of the Season 3 finale with that mysterious second Kara should make a lot more sense now.)
Your hopes for Season 4? Drop ’em in a comment below.
Was looking forward to President Data but President Sheridan is as good a back-up as anyone.
I have a feeling they won’t be writing someone as epic as Sheridan.
Vice President, but yeah I was looking forward to it too
D’oh! TY for correcting my mistake, oh person on the Internet.
While i’m Glad Brent spider is out, i’m Not sure that Bruce b is a better choice, because I think the VP is going to be a bad guy.
I remember Nicole Maine’s appearance on Royal Pains,she’s a good young actress.
The whole season sounds boring.
As long as they have some scenes of Supergirl punching people in the face, I am entertained.
MAJOR BUMMER!
I wanted to see the Trek and Supergirl crossover! I had a whole time traveling aged up Data story in my headcannon.
Brett should have sucked it up who cares about family?
“The final scene of the Season 3 finale with that mysterious second Kara should make a lot more sense now.”
.
Yeah….not so much.
The final scene makes no sense still. Is the mysterious second Kara in a different universe or whatever the way the Flash is or is the Russian Kara going to co exist in the same timeline/universe with the American Kara?????
#Cliffhanger!
In the comic books black kryptonite splits a Kryptonian into two people. One has all the good and one has all the evil. In the finale when Reign was defeated with black kryptonite we see a black cloud arise from Supergirl. This seems to have reformed into another version of Kara in Russia,So it looks like the Russians will end up with an evil Kara and National City will have a super-nice Kara. So Earth-38 will have two Karas. at the same time.
