Supergirl NOT Looking for Lois Right Now

There's been quite a juicy rumor spreading around the comic book sites last night and this morning about Supergirl (the show) looking to cast a Superman legend, Lois Lane. The origin of the rumor was first posted at Omega Underground showing a possible audition video that could indicate that the show (Supergirl) was looking for an actress to play Lois Lane. Unfortunately for fans looking to see Lois on Supergirl, Supergirl.tv has checked with the network and can confirm that the show is NOT looking for this role at this time. That said, legacy casting has given us two previous Lois Lanes already in Tery Hatcher's Rhea, and Erica Durance's Alura. That coupled with next week's episode introducting Sarah Douglas as

This makes me think that if Lois never appears on this Series, there should be a dramedy, tongue in cheek stand alone episode starring Tyler H and Mel B titled,

"Finding Lois Lane."

In fact, it should be an epic cross over with all the Superheroes all helping Superman look for Lois Lane.

It could be hilarious...

Quoting Thalolli:
I'm sad. Kara could have benefitted from a friend with experience with experience and a strong personality, more like Cat Grant, since Cat is not coming back.


I don't think so, when we had Cat, they already had a year of history together...with Lois, there is nothing as far as history. We have already seen a far too shallow, but somehow a grand BFF in Lena and that seems forced to me, I don't want another forced relationship in Kara's life.

One word: Good.

Lois would be a nice character to have, but it would not be a good fit at the current time in the Supergirl story. It's possible to bring her in later in the series, but like Superman, she should be used sparingly.

Do we even know when that tape was made? It could have been made getting ready for Season 2 when it was still going to shoot in LA...and losing Jenna in the move to Vancouver the Superwoman arc was tossed, and that is, IMO, when they would have needed Lois Lane to come into the picture. Other than that we have never even got a hint this season that Lois Lane would be coming into the picture.

What's the normal levels of credibility for Omega Underground?
Are they usually credible or not?

The reason I ask is where they mention season 3 in that article, they state that it has been put on hiatus due to Andrew Kreisberg’s firing. However CW stopped that rumor weeks ago.

With legacy casting, don't forget in Midvale, the Lois Lane in joke reference when Erica Durance played J'onn posing as Agent Noel Neill.

I'm glad for two reasons. 1, the actress in that video wasn't great, IMHO. 2, I would hate to see them finally bring in Lois and not have Cat there to play mean girl.

The rights issues for Lois Lane must still be on for the movies.

Thank you for clarifying that it was just a rumor! It was going through a lot of outlets so I can't imagine what it must be for the network to see false rumors flying about
