"Melissa Benoist will be hanging up her Supergirl cape after this final season of the CW series. Supergirl will be coming to a close after its sixth season and it will mark a strong run for the actress as Kara Zor-El. Fans have wondered if she will be planning to return to the character in any significant way, but a new report looks to put the final nail in the coffin of that possibility.

We Got This Covered is saying that Melissa Benoist has no interest or intention to return to the role of Supergirl after the series comes to an end. According to their sources, the actress is looking to “distance herself from the Arrowverse to avoid being typecast.” Supposedly, she wants to set her sights on major motion picture roles as well as more prestige television series moving forward.

It is assuredly disappointing to hear that Melissa Benoist wants to leave Supergirl completely behind, but it should not come as the biggest shocker in the world. After playing the role for six years and being intimately connected to it, it is normal for an actor to feel the desire to branch out and attempt to take roles that might not fit in with the audience’s preconceptions. It seems clear that Benoist wants to set her sights on higher-profile parts. That will mean being able to showcase versatility with her performances."
