Supergirl's Andrew Kreisberg: Laura Vandervoort's Indigo Will Look Awesome

During a conversation with KryptonSite at the Television Critics Association on Monday, Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg talked a little bit about casting Smallville Supergirl Laura Vandervoort in the role of Indigo (also known as Brainiac-8) in the series.

"She's gonna look awesome. Definitely not gonna look just like Laura," Kreisberg said. "Being one aspect of the Brainiac Program, she comes in through computers, so Winn is actively involved in that episode. But she has a very interesting backstory. She was one of the Fort Rozz prisoners. But how she came to be, and how she ended up in the prison, and what she's been doing on Earth is part of the fun and the surprise of the episode."

He also talked a little bit about his previous efforts to get Vandervoort on the show, and his rection to her support for series star Melissa Benoist in the early going. Check out the full interview at the link above.

Supergirl returns to your TV on Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
