SUPERGIRL Season 3 Casts Bollywood Actress Amy Jackson As Saturn Girl
Hot on the heels of that new trailer & photos, The CW has announced that Bollywood actress Amy Jackson has joined the cast of Supergirl season three in a recurring role as Saturn Girl! Come take a look!
The CW has officially announced that Supergirl season three has added British-born Bollywood actress Amy Jackson in a major recurring role as Imra Ardeen a.k.a. Saturn Girl.
The network has also released a brief character description that sheds some light on her backstory, "Saturn Girl, aka Imra Ardeen, is a kind, smart, and strong-willed hero who uses her telekinetic ability to help those in need. She was born on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, and arrives on Earth to help Supergirl battle one of her biggest threats." It makes no mention of her Legion of Superheroes connection, but it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to assume that her appearance might tie into Mon-El's return as well.
While Supergirl may be her first American project, Jackson is already well-known across the world as a model and for starring in several Tamil-language films. In 2015, she made her Bollywood debut in the action/comedy Singh Is Bliing, where she starred opposite Akshay Kumar. She'll return to the big screen next January, once again alongisde Kumar, in 2.0, a sequel to the 2010 megahit Robot.
As Superman’s cousin, Kara Danvers (aka Supergirl) balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City – and the Earth – safe from sinister threats. At the DEO, Kara works for J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter, and alongside her sister, Alex, and best friend, Winn Schott. Also in Kara’s life are James Olsen, a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor, and Mon-El of Daxam, whose planet was ravaged by Krypton’s destruction. In season three, Kara and team will come up against a new threat in the form of DC Worldkiller, Reign.
