Stargirl continues to build their core cast as another series regular boards the show. Today, we are excited to share with all of you that Anjelika Washington has been cast to join the show as a yet unnamed DC Comics character. Washington was previously a series regular on the Amazon pilot The Legend of Master Legend, starring opposite John Hawkes. She also guest starred this year on Showtime’s Shameless and CBS’s Young Sheldon, as well as appearing in the Go90 web series Versus. Executive Producer Geoff Johns had this to say about casting Anjelika:

Anjelika Washington is a bright, funny and unbelievably talented actor and I'm thrilled to have her join the cast alongside Brec. We're withholding the character she's playing for now, but it'll be one familiar to DC Comics fans!

We're sure you can make a guess as to who she'll be playing as much as we can, but for now, the powers-that-be want to wait on letting us know who that will be. Regardless, the show is shaping up to be very exciting and the youthful cast will no doubt give us a unique perspective of DC Heroes for this day and age!

Stargirl is still in its early stages of creation but even still, small tidbits of news are trickling out about the landmark show for DC Universe. As we reported earlier, the show is looking for more JSA legacy heroes to join and casting is underway for at least Wildcat and another JSA member. In addition, James Robinson, comic book writer of Starman, has joined the writers' room. Executive Producer Geoff Johns spoke briefly to Newsarama about the tone of the show:

It's about passing the torch and heroism for a new generation. Stargirl will be based on 'Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E', but will also encorporate new material.

The showrunner went on to announce that they are building a 15-foot tall S.T.R.I.P.E. robot for the show!

So far we know that Courtney Whitmore, now played by Brec Bessinger, will headline Stargirl. In addition, the show needs a Yolanda Montez and a Pat Dugan. Well today we've stumbled across another JSA character and her role remains a mystery! We've updated our spoilers page to include two new test scenes for the character. For now she is named "Rachel", but we believe that this is a filler name much like Tammy is likely being used for Yolanda. Beyond who the character might be, the scenes help us really understand the humor that is going to be in this show! We've mentioned before that we feel like this is a good continuation of the feeling we got watching Supergirl's Midvale. In addtion, after reading the test scenes (which may or may not appear in the show), there is an element of Marvel's famous balance of humor and action! We are only getting more excited!
