Although one of the core elements of CBS’ Supergirl series is the age difference between Kara and her cousin, Superman, as a result of the period she spent in the Phantom Zone, the producers have found a way of bringing a young Superman into the show.

Daniel DiMaggio will be playing a young Kal-El in the episode For the Girl Who Has Everything, airing in the US on February 8th. According to reports, “Kara fights for her life against a stubborn alien parasite, which attaches itself to her and seals her in a dream realm. Here, her home world of Krypton still exists, and the episode will delve into her childhood connection with a teenage Kal-El.”
