Henshaw being black has absolutely no bearing on the character becoming the Cyborg Superman because his original body looked nothing like Superman's.

There are quite a few possible roles the two Super actors could fill. Kara's adoptive parents are the likely option, but I was thinking that might not be.
Here are a few possible male and female roles up for grabs:
Male:
(Already cast: James Olsen, Hank Henshaw, Winslow Schott)
- Zor-El (Kara's biological father)
- Dan Turpin (Metropolis PD detective)
- Fred Danvers (Kara's adoptive father from the Pre-Crisis era)
- A Kryptonian mentor/friend à la Zaltar (played by the late Peter O'Toole in the 1984 movie)
Female:
(Already cast: Kara/Supergirl, Alexandra Danvers, Alura, Cat Grant)
- Edna Danvers (Kara's adoptive mother from the Pre-Crisis era)
- Lucy Lane (Lois' younger sister; in the movie, she was also a student at the same boarding school Kara ended up hiding in)
- Captain Maggie Sawyer (head of the Metropolis PD's SCU
1) Definitely a possibility
2) The series is set in National City, not Metropolis, so that's a big fat No
3) Definitely a possibility
4) Kara's Kryptonian 'inspiration' comes from her birth mother Alura and her cousin Kal-El
1) Definitely a possibility
2) Helen Slater is in her 60s; she's not going to be playing a young character
3) See #2 from the Male section
Helen Slater is not in her 60s at age 51.
couldn't capt. sawyer and/or det. turpin be retconned as working for the ncpd ?
I wanted Dean Cain to play Jor-el in the MOS movie, so why not Supergirl?
I read it as he could play Jorel in MOS, then he can play him on the tv series Supergirl.I do not want Dean Cain playing Supergirl.
I am not a Dean Cain fan. Whatever his role is, I hope it is a limited one.
Yet, no love for Gerard Christopher or John Haymes Newton. Such tragedy.
I didn't see the show until about 4 years ago and season 1 of Superboy was some of the worst acting, writing and directing I think I've seen. It did improve though as it went on and I enjoyed it. Stacy Haiduk made it easier to watch too.
Lets all get a petition going to get the old Superboys cast in Supergirl!
Or not.
Superboy was so very terrible. Especially season one. I am sure this is common knowledge by now, but Gerard Christopher auditioned for and was initially offered the role in Lois and Clark until the producers learned that he was Superboy. They wanted someone with no prior connection to the role.
