SUPERGIRL: Teri Hatcher & Kevin Sorbo Debut As Rhea & Lar Gand In New Stills From Episode 16: "Star-Crossed"
This Monday, both Teri Hatcher & Kevin Sorbo are flying into National City and while, the CW has remained tightlipped about their roles, it looks like the most recent set of stills may have spilled the beans!
After the preview for next week's episode seemingly revealed that Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo had been cast as Mon-El's parents, and while that remains unconfirmed, it looks like the latest batch of stills may have revealed their identities.
According to the descriptions attached to the photos, Hatcher will be playing a character named Rhea while Sorbo has been cast as Lar Gand.
If we look to the comics, Lar Gand is, of course, another name for Mon-El, but it looks like the show will be taking the character in an entirely different direction unless the Mon-El we know has not only been lying about his true identity but has also been lying about his name. As for Rhea, she's a bigger mystery as there is no major villain tied to Superman/Supergirl lore with that name currently residing in the DC Comics universe. Out of the two known Rheas, one is an Olympian and the other is a member of the Doom Patrol, and while, the latter has apparently crossed paths with the Man of Steel, it's unclear whether either iteration will have any ties to Hatcher's version.
Check out twenty-eight promotional stills from episode sixteen, titled "Star-Crossed," below:
