Supergirl
Masked trio – David Harewood, Jesse Rath, Chyler Leigh.
Chyler Leigh is back on the list to direct an upcoming episode of Supergirl.
Chyler Leigh, who plays Supergirl’s sister Alex Danvers, was listed to direct a few weeks ago, but that changed. She had some shadow directing to do.

Fans are hoping that the episode Chyler Leigh directs will be Danvers sisters-centric, with more flashbacks to their youth in Midvale.

Chyler Leigh expressed her gratitude to Supergirl and tagged the #DanversSisters in mid-September on the news that season 6 would be the final season:
And after some delays, Supergirl began filming its final season in mid-October.
Revised filming dates: October 13th to August 6th, 2021.

Production will work around Melissa Benoist until she can join them (Crew did something similar when Benoist starred in Beautiful on Broadway, by shooting episodes out of order and putting Supergirl in an exo suit so that Benoist could be CGI-ed into the scenes later).
David Harewood, who plays J’onn J’onzz/Martian Manhunter, hinted that he was headed back to work the weekend before filming started.
David Harewood suited up as Martian Manhunter for the first time in season 6 four days later.
