Melissa Benoist, known for her roles in Glee and Whiplash, will be playing the newly blossoming heroine in the show. Slater said of the pilot and Benoist: “It was such a joy to do the pilot. My fingers are crossed that it goes well because they have a great cast. The girl playing Supergirl, Melissa Benoist, is fantastic.” “When I met her, we did the reading and she was fabulous. She did not need any advice at all,” Slater continued. “She’s sparkling and funny and delightful. She’s going to be awesome.”
