'Supergirl' Season 1 Spoilers: White Martian Abducts Senator Miranda Crane; Daniel DiMaggio Cast As Young Superman
When "Supergirl" returns this week, National City will be in chaos as an alien from Mars has invaded Earth and abducted a politician. According to Design & Trend, season 1 episode 11 of the series will be titled "Strange Visitor From Another Planet" and it will debut the appearance of Tawny Cypress who will play as the anti-alien senator Miranda Crane.
As seen on the promo trailer released, Crane will be abducted by a White Martian, who is part of the alien race that killed all of the Green Martians race. This will lead Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) to take off her glasses and don her Supergirl suit to go save the senator. But she's not the only who is gearing up to get the alien as Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) will also be running after him.
Before the winter break, it was revealed that Hank was actually Martian Manhunter, the humanoid from the red planet identified for his green skin. Now he's determined to take his revenge against the White Martian for wiping out his people.
Meanwhile, Comic Book Resources reported that the series has already found its young Superman. The role will be filled in by Daniel DiMaggio, whose TV credits include "Clarence," "Burn Notice," and "Haunted Hathaways."
He will debut on the 13th episode which will be titled "For The Girl Who Has Everything." In this episode, Kara will be attacked by a parasitic alien who will trap her in a dream world where her family is alive and her planet Kyrpton still exists.
She will meet her younger cousin Kal-El, the character DiMaggio will be playing. With Kara stuck in a fantasy, her friends will have to find a way to save her. The official synopsis also revealed that Alex, Hank and the DEO will be dealing with a Kryptonian attack while Kara is out.
"Supergirl" season 1 episode 11 will air on Monday, Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
