Benoist's character will even be surprised to know what her boss' son feels for her.
"Carter finally opens up to her — revealing his true feelings for Supergirl," the site wrote.
Executive producer Greg Berlanti, who collaborated with Miller on Pan, released the following statement:
"We loved working with him so much on Pan, we were excited to bring him into Supergirl's universe. He's an exceptional young actor and a part of the Berlanti Productions family. It will be fun for audiences, who we know will fall in love with him as Peter in Pan on Oct 9, to see his range with his turn as Calista Flockhart's American son."
TV Line further noted that Carter Grant is "independent of Adam Morgan" who is also Cat's son in the DC Comics.
The show, which takes flight on October 26 on CBS, is centered on Kara Zor-El (Benoist) who comes to Earth after escaping from the destruction of her and Superman's home planet, Krypton.
After years of hiding who she is and what she is capable of doing, she decided to come out and joins the ranks of her powerful cousin to become the superhero she always wanted to be.
