Frederick Schmidt has been tapped to play Metallo.

When international assassin John Corben is badly injured after taking on both Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and Superman (Tyler Hoechlin), he is reborn by a shadow organization into the Kryptonite-powered supervillain Metallo.

Schmidt joins other Supergirl newcomers in season 2, including Hoechlin as Superman, Lynda Carter as POTUS, Chris Wood as Mon-El, Sharon Leal as Miss Martian, Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor, Ian Gomez as Snapper Carr, and Floriana Lima as Maggie Sawyer.

Metallo will appear in at least two episodes, starting with the season 2 premiere, airing Monday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Malcolm McDowell could still pull off the role.

I remember the scene at the train station(?) when he realized he had lost all of his bodily functions.

Summary implies Superman is sticking around? Thought it was a one or two episode thing?

 

[jombag]

They should cast Danica McKellar as Ms. Martian

They've already cast Sharon Leal.

Also I hope to god that the rumor isn't true that she's a love interest for J'onn.

My guess is he might be the villain for the premiere as his normal international assassin self. Likely the cliffhanger of the premiere is him being reborn or being teased.
