Mon-El (Chris Wood) is ready to become a superhero — and he’s not joking.
In the new trailer for the upcoming episodes of Supergirl, we see him asking Kara (Melissa Benoist) for actual lessons.
However, some fans are starting to wonder big time about his actually identity and have a big suspicion that HE’s the Prince of Daxam instead of a guard like he said he was.
“No comment,” EP Andrew Kreisberg said when asked about it, but he did open up about Mon-El revealing his secrets to Kara.
“Secrets are never healthy in a relationship and obviously Mon-El is holding onto something,” he said. “We got a little taste that his life on Daxam might not be as over as we think from the glimpse of the space farers, who are on the hunt for him. So it will definitely play a big part in their relationship moving forward.”
Supergirl returns Monday, January 23rd @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
“The two of them actually show up to the same crisis. It wasn’t a turf war, they just both heard about the same tragedy on the news and both flew into action,” he told EW. “But they haven’t really gotten a chance to spend time together, especially since she’s come out as Supergirl, and they both want that. Both of them have a bit of sadness about them, they both have that sense of feeling alone, they both have that sense of feeling different, and both of them remark that that loneliness, that alienation, that isolation goes away when they are together. Part of what these episodes explore is that they don’t get that because of the machinations of the plot and of the actions of Project Cadmus, the villains; they both have homes to defend and they have to defend their own turf.”
As for what brings Mon-El (Chris Wood) to Earth, Andrew said, “He’s brought to Earth because he’s from Daxam, just as in the comics, which was a sister world to Krypton. The destruction of Krypton also resulted in a very bad day for Daxam. That’s how he escaped that cataclysm and came to Earth….He’s fresh off the boat – as far as he’s concerned. He got into a pod on Daxam and then the next day was on Earth. She says to somebody in one of the early episodes that she wasn’t sent to Earth to be Supergirl, she was sent to Earth to watch Clark, take care of him and to be a protector. In a way, Mon-El coming here, she’s finally now getting to fill that original mission.”
Supergirl premieres TONIGHT, October 10 @ 8PM on The CW.
The 28-year-old Containment star is heading to the sister show on the CW as a series regular, TVLine reports.
While we have no clue who Chris will star as, he does join Tyler Hoechlin, Cougar Town alum Ian Gomez, Floriana Lima, and original WonderWoman Lynda Carter in the newest castings for the show, which hopped networks from CBS.
Supergirl is set to return Monday, October 10th at 8PM ET/PT on the CW.
The Containment co-stars, who also happen to be dating, met up with The Originals‘ Daniel Gillies and his lovely wife Rachael Leigh Cook in Paris.
“Date night in Paris,” Hanna captioned the group photo.
The guys are in town for some conventions. Chris attended the Bite Me I’m Famous 4 over the weekend, while Daniel is gearing up for Love & Blood Itacon 4Ever in Florence, Italy later this week.

Our Carrie Diaries hearts are singing after hearing this news — Chris Wood is set to recur on PBS’ Mercy Street!
According to Deadline, the 28-year-old actor will recur as Captain Lance Van Der Berg, a handsome young Union captain lodging at the Green home when he strikes up a budding romance with Alice Green (AnnaSophia Robb).
The project reunites Chris, who’s currently starring on The CW’s Containment, with AnnaSophia, who were involved in an on-screen romance as Adam and Carrie.
Mercy Street centers on two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the Civil War – New England abolitionist Mary Phinney (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Confederate supporter Emma Green (Hannah James).
The 28-year-old actor, who stars in the brand new CW series Containment, recently posed for a Just Jared Portrait Session where we asked him what his thoughts were on fans wanting Kai to end up with Bonnie (Kat Graham).
“This is a very touchy subject with the fans probably because I know him better than anybody,” Chris said. “As Chris, I wouldn’t wish anyone that I was fond of to date him, because he’s crazy, and he’s unstable. And he’s done a lot of bad things that suggest that he’s going to continue to do bad things.”
He continued, “So anyone that I’m remotely fond of, I wouldn’t want to date him. So, the fact that it’s Kat, and the fact that it’s her character Bonnie, I don’t know. I wouldn’t wish that on her but I can see why the fans were so passionate about it. There was something fun about a redemption story and it wasn’t his. A lot of times it does happen on Vampire Diaries, where someone so evil becomes a hero, and a love interest for that matter. I guess that wasn’t his trajectory.”
