Supergirl Season 6 Info/News/Speculation 2

I found it curious David I'd suiting up for the last times as I thought they hadn't started filming E20 yet.

I really wanted Manchester Black back post Crisis. Looks unlikely.

Streaky... lol... I am surprised Kara did not get a Streaky 2.0.

I saw some speculation on twitter that it may be due to his recent leg injury.They've been doing a lot of work with his stunt person in the last two filming episodes possibly because of his injury.I read from the location reports that his stunt person was wearing tracking dots meaning they may digitally add David's face and he'll do some in studio voice work.

The actor who played Manchester Black is on Star Trek Discovery starting in season 3 and he's currently filming season 4.

You're right, Brierrose. My error. Post is deleted.

I just saw on twitter a filming notice has gone out for more location shooting for Supergirl on Tuesday July 20th.

Who is the blonde in white?


Lillian Luthor(Brenda Strong)

That was my first thought but something looked different about her... thanks!

Most likely Supergirl 6x19-The penultimate episode of the series location filming from yesterday

Spoilers.

Yeah, after last year's DC Fandome, I'm not surprised that Supergirl isn't getting anything for Comic Con @ Home.

But honestly, it kinda makes sense. Supergirl is in the midst of filming it's final episodes during that time. And The Flash, if rumor is to be believed, will be close to starting up it's production for Season 8. So maybe they don't have time?

Sure it could be argued that they used to make the time for the actual SDCC event. But since it was fairly obvious that wasn't happening this year, they probably just went ahead on scheduling their production days as if there wasn't going to be any Comic Con at all, even Comic Con @ Home. When it coms to production days, time is money, so making the entire crew wait so the actors can do virtual panels can actually turn into lot of wasted production money.

Yeah... I saw the Legends had a panel... maybe it's to promote the Beebo Saves Christmas special... ??

Wouldn't it make more sense to promote that in October at DC Fandome since it won't air until the holidays?

Yeah... I saw the Legends had a panel... maybe it's to promote the Beebo Saves Christmas special... ??

Something weird I just realized.July 23-25 is Comic Con @ Home.DC is mostly sitting out.They are only doing comic book panels and saving their movie and TV stuff for DC Fandome on 10/16.

However there going to be one lone tv panel for one lone Arrowverse show.Legends Of Tomorrow is going to have a panel on Sunday, July 25 at 12 noon.And I sort of get why there is a panel since Legends is still running it's current season(although I believe they will already be back filming their new season by then or just about to start) and has a new episode that night..So I can see them doing this to promote that night's episode more so than to promote next season(probably save that for DC Fandome).

But my question is if they are doing a panel for Legends than why not one for Superman & Lois which still will have two more episodes to air(and they don't start shooting season 2 until September)?After the next two episodes air this week and next,S & L goes on another two week break before airing it's final two season 1 episodes I belleve.

But even more importantly,if they are doing a random Legends panel in two weeks,wouldn't it have made sense to do a Stargirl season 2 panel and a panel for the final 13 episodes of Supergirl?

Both shows return two to three weeks after Comic Con @ Home and both have something major to promote.In both cases,they have plenty of footage they can show.Season 2 of Stargirl is completely shot and Supergirl is almost finished filming.So both shows would have stuff they can show plus put together a pre-recorded zoom panel if not a live zoom panel.Atleast something with the showrunners if not some cast members.

It just seems a little strange to me that if any Arrowverse shows were going to have a Comic Con @ Home panel it would be Supergirl's final 13 episodes and/or the start of Stargirl Season 2 over a random Legends panel the night episode 11 of 15 airs.

I am glad to hear Helen will return. It was very disappointing that Eliza was not part of the Prom episodes... it really made no sense for her not be in them... perhaps scheduling conflicts or Covid restrictions. The same for Alura (Erica Durance) not being part of the Phantom Zone arc... made no sense as she was the character with the most PZ knowledge. I enjoyed the first 7 episodes but Eliza's and Alura's absence seemed like major misteps and took away from them.

Really nice to know that Helen Slater is on her way to Vancouver for the Supergirl Finale (per her Instagram post, https://www.instagram.com/p/CREspaTMcEM/). One of things I wished for from the Series Finale was that Helen would be a part of it and it makes me happy that this will happen .

Now my hope is that there's at least one scene with just Melissa and Helen, perhaps Eliza can impart some motherly wisdom to Kara.

Very happy to hear.She said last summer that she was going to appear in season 6 but I figured it would of been earlier like for the Midvale two parter.Glad she'll be apart of the series finale.

There was a Supergirl mention in tonight's season 2 finale of Batwoman.Spoilers for Batwoman season 2 finale.

I wonder if the issue was Andrew Kreisberg.He was a co-creator and showrunner of the first two seasons of Supergirl and part of season 3 as well as co-creator and showrunner on the early seasons of The Flash(He co-created and produced Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow as well as wrote for all four shows).He was fired for allegations of sexual harassment and physical misconduct.15 women and 4 men accused him.

That's why in Supergirl season 3,the show sort of lost it's way a bit and the back half of the season aired later if you remember.They had to replace him as co-showrunner in the middle of the season.

Here's a article with Melissa about the situation back in 2018.

https://www.cbr.com/supegirl-melissa-benoist-andrew-kreisberg-firing/

Shantel VanSanten who played Patty Spivot in season 2 of The Flash just this past year gave her own accounts of her dealings with Andrew Kreisberg. which led to her Flash role being cut short.She was supposed to be in the whole season but was basically fired by Kreisberg.He was angry she booked another show even though she had arranged and worked out a way to continue on the Flash for the rest of season 2.That's why her exit was so abrupt.Here's a article where she talks about it.

https://tvline.com/2020/10/13/shantel-vansanten-the-flash-season-2-cut-short-patty/

So it wouldn't surprise me if Laura Vandervoort had a poor experience on Supergirl due to Kreisberg.

Yes, this confirms what most fans suspected when Kriesberg was let go for sexually misconduct. Every show that he was a vital part of went south. It's like having a great band but if the writer of your songs is gone then the band isn't as good.

You know what, I was thinking that, too.

Man, the Kreisberg thing was a debacle. I'm genuinely glad he got fired, based on the allegations, and the number of people corroborating them. But there is sadly something to be said about how much of a creative force he was on those shows, seeing as it's about around his departure that both Supergirl and The Flash started to lose their way. I truly feel that's when Supergirl started to lose the ability to tell a cohesive, long term narrative.

That obviously doesn't mean he should have kept his job. He was rightfully let go. It's just unfortunate for the shows that he seemed to have been such a guiding force.
