According to Hollyscoop, Taylor Swift is currently up for the role of Kryptonian Kara Zor-El in a re-boot of the 1984 film ‘Supergirl,’ currently titled ‘Supergirl: The Love Story.’? Despite having only one movie role under her belt to date, a part in the upcoming ensemble romance ‘Valentine’s Day’, she tops the list of young actresses currently being considered.
According to an industry insider,
“A number of young stars are being mentioned for the title role in a ‘Supergirl’ movie and possible TV spin-off, and Taylor is top of that list. She has all the right elements to be a positive role model to young girls. Hollywood is short of female heroes and the time is right for a new Supergirl.”

Really? We’ll be calling this a Mega-Rumor (an understatement). While some are questioning whether or not Warner Bros. would even be considering a Supergirl movie.. that, I would believe wholeheartedly – simply due to the fact that the whole Superman legal debacle probably has them reaching for some sort of ‘Super’ film.
While I personally think Taylor Swift is talented, and if you added some meat to her lanky frame, she could easily pull off the look of Kara – I don’t think Warner Bros. is so out of their minds that they would hand a character like that to a sophomore actress with such little experience.
