Floriana Lima joins 'Supergirl' as DC Character Maggie Sawyer
As casting continues for the new season of Supergirl, THR is reporting that Floriana Lima has been cast as Maggie Sawyer in The CW series.
The character was introduced in the late 80's as the Captain of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit in the Superman comic title, and was a groundbreaking character in that she became the first openly gay character ever to appear in mainstream comics.
In the series, she will be a detective for the National City Police Department who “takes a special interest in the cases involving aliens.”
The second season premieres October 10.
