It was hinted at in the season two finale of Supergirl last week, but The CW has now made it official: Reign is coming to National City. However, don't expect the "Worldkiller" to closely resemble her comic book counterpart as TV Line reports that the villain will "differ visually" on the small screen.
Odette Annable has been cast as Reign today and will be the show's new big bad this coming Fall.
She's best known for starring in the likes of House and Banshee but worked with executive producer Greg Berlanti (sort of) on Brothers & Sisters. "Greg [Berlanti] and I have wanted to work with Odette for years," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement released earlier today. "We are beyond excited to have her join our cast in the scary, powerful and heartbreaking role of Reign."
