Amy Jackson has booked a recurring role as Saturn Girl on Supergirl, EW has learned.
The British-born Bollywood actress will make her debut in season 3 as Imra Ardeen, a.k.a Saturn Girl, a kind, smart, and strong-willed hero who uses her telekinetic ability to help those in need. She was born on Titan, one of Saturns moons, and arrives on Earth to help Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) battle one of her biggest threats.
In the comics, Saturn Girl is a member of the Legion of Superheroes, a 31st-century superhero team tied to Superboy. Weve actually seen a Legion flight ring on the show in the Fortress of Solitude. Saturn Girls appearance, therefore, may give weight to the theory that
when Mon-El (Chris Wood) was sucked into the portal in the finale, he
ended up with the Legion.
The role marks Jacksons U.S. debut, having begun her career as a model and since established herself as one of Indias key leading ladies. Shell next appear in 2.0, the sequel to Indias box office hit Robot.
Supergirl returns Monday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
Saturn Girl, hell yeah.
The Legion better get their own spin-off show eventually. CW might have to sacrifice all the other DC shows in order to be able to afford the cg effects for Bouncing Boy though. But it'll be worth it.
