February 20, 2016: Laura Vandervoort Talks About Playing Indigo on "Supergirl"

Laura Vandervoort Laura Vandervoort (who once played the role of Supergirl/Kara on the "Smallville" TV series) has been cast in the recurring role of Indigo (aka Brainiac 8) for upcoming episodes of the "Supergirl" TV series airing on CBS.

In a new interview with ComicBookResources.com Laura talks about Indigo, her wardrobe/costume, and returning to the world of Supergirl after "Smallville". Here are a few excerpts from the interview...

    After spending a handful of seasons as Kara on "Smallville," how does it feel to be returning to the DC Universe? Laura Vandervoort: I think it's great because the new "Supergirl" series incorporated some of the past characters and actors from other superhero shows, like Dean Cain and Helen Slater. Including me was an honor. The show is fantastic; I love everything they are doing with it. The fact that they asked me to come along for a bit of the journey was something I clearly wanted to be part of. It's mostly because the "Smallville" fans are so fantastic. I've been hearing from them on Twitter that they would like to see me on the show and I wanted to do that. Also, I actually truly love the show.

    You called Indigo a badass. How does she test Supergirl's mettle? I think just with her sheer presence and confidence. I can't tell you how some of her abilities allow Indigo to outmaneuver Supergirl. She's a new major threat to National City and to Supergirl. I've shot an episode so far. I'm not sure where we're going with the rest of her storyline, but it's definitely been fun. Melissa [Benoist] and I have had a great time shooting it.
