During last year’s San Diego Comic-Con it was reported that Laura Vandervoort was in line for a role in CBS’s DC series Supergirl, and now we have confirmation that the Smallville star – who played Kara Zor-El between 2007 and 2011 – is set for a recurring role as the DC villain Indigo.
The official character description for Indigo reads: “A living, strong-willed supercomputer that was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton. Now on Earth, Indigo will let nothing stand in her way.”
Vandervoort becomes the second former Supergirl to appear in the series after Helen Slater, star of the 1984 feature film.

Meanwhile, it’s also been revealed that Jeff Branson (I Spit on Your Grave) will play another recurring villain, Master Jailer, with the character description reading: “As the forceful and unrelenting jail guard on Fort Rozz, Master Jailer showed no mercy. Now on Earth, he is hellbent on catching all of the Fort Rozz escapees and brutally bringing them to justice.”
