Kevin Sorbo Is New Supergirl Villain

On the heels of Monday's announcement that Teri Hatcher would be returning to the Super-comic world on TV, Kevin Sorbo has now been added to the cast as another mysterious big bad for Supergirl according to Deadline.com. Many will remember Kevin as TV's Hercules or even Andromeda's Captain Dylan Hunt. On the news of the casting, Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg had this to say:

Since his days as Hercules, Kevin Sorbo has brought such a strong presence to the screen, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him join us on Supergirl

Could his mysterious character be joined with Teri Hatcher's character? Also according to some unconfirmed sources, this role will be featured on at least three episodes this season.

We have already seen Melissa Benoist do an incredible job as the villain in last seasons "Falling". Its fun to see actors expand their range playing the opposite of what people expect rather than being typecast.


Quoting rebelangel:

fast forward 20 years -and there's a brilliant new show that you love to bits, and it's hot news that some of your cherished favourite actors are going to guest star as villains. So you're happy with Melissa Benoist playing an evil character? Or with Chyler Leigh chewing the scenery and trying to grind the new young hero to dust? Just a thought ;-)

I might be fun to see Lucy Lawless play another Amazon Warrior, Wonder Woman or an older version of Cassie Sandsmark :)

Quoting Argo:
Great choice!! I would enjoy seeing Lucy Lawless also make a guest appearance.

They could be anyone.

Emerald Empress and Persuader
Saturn Queen and Cosmic King
Zod and Ursa/Faora (but they did that last year with Non and Astra)

Nope. I think it's great that some of our old favourites are being cast on Supergirl, but I don't want to see Teri Hatcher, or Kevin Sorbo, or Lucy Lawless as villains. Imagine. fast forward 20 years -and there's a brilliant new show that you love to bits, and it's hot news that some of your cherished favourite actors are going to guest star as villains.

I'd be totally cool with Melissa or Cryler coming back as villains on a superhero show in 20 years, they'd probably have fun doing it. Laura Vandervoort went from hero on Smallville to villain on this show.

I'd rather see Lucy than Kevin.

Kevin Sorbo is a very good actor - I loved it when both him and Lucy lawless starred in the Xena and Hercules series. The more villains the better; however, if in bringing more villains in gives characters more TV time than supergirl then this is getting kind of tiresome. I miss the supergirl centered episodes. The episodes now have so many plots that new characters have more to say then SuperGirl. I miss the Kara-Alex scenes and I miss Supergirl centered shows. I have nothing against new characters and I have nothing against developing other characters but when they become the show and SuperGirl becomes the subplot then I have a problem.

Great news but let's hope the main villain is defined clearly and not multiple and alternating

Lucy may still be contracted for more Ash Vs. Evil Dead for Starz, since a Season 3 for that show was announced earlier this week.

Welcome aboard, Kevin! Do your character proud. ;-)
