SUPERGIRL Casts MAJOR CRIMES & CHASING LIFE Actress Jessica Meraz As Menagerie
Despite his recent incarceration, Manchester Black's (David Ajala) time on Supergirl is far from over and it sounds like he'll be getting a few elite friends when the series returns from its winter hiatus.
Deadline is reporting that Jessica Meraz has joined the cast of Supergirl in a major recurring role as Pamela Ferrer, a.k.a. Menagerie. While the details are scarce, she is described as a jewel theif who doesn't mind hurting people, which will likely catch the eye of both the Girl of Steel (Melissa Benoist) and the recently incarcerated Manchester Black (David Ajala).
Comic fans will recognize Menagerie as a member of The Elite (a team of antiheroes led by Manchester Black), and with Meraz's casting, it seems likely that the back half of the season will see Black assemble his own team to take on the Children of Liberty, which means the roles of Vera Black, Coldcast, The Hat, and/or Bunny are also probably in the process of being cast.
Jessica Meraz is probably best known for her roles on Chasing Life and Major Crimes. Her past credits include Bounty Hunter and Greek. She also recently completed a pair of indie films, Chasing Sunshine and Kill Me Twice.
Season three saw Supergirl stop Reign and the other Worldkillers’ threat to humanity and our planet, and in the process, Kara was shocked to find her mother Alura alive and living in a salvaged Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton. Reconnecting with her past caused Kara to realize that her true home is now here on Earth, where big changes are taking place for her and all of her friends in National City – and also, it appears, for a doppelganger in Russia! Season four promises to be full of surprises, action, adventure and lots of big revelations for Supergirl, Alex, James, J’onn, Lena and Brainy.
