EXCLUSIVE: It has been a fast rise for young actress Ciara Renée, who graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a degree in music theater in May 2013. Since then, she made her Broadway debut in
Big Fish and replaced Patina Miller as Leading Player in the revival of
Pippin. Last fall, she made her TV debut with a guest shot on NBC’s
Law & Order: SVU. And now, she has landed a lead in CW’s proposed
Arrow/Flash spinoff series, playing the role of Kendra Saunders aka
Hawkgirl.
The superhero team-up show, from
Arrow creators
Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim, was to bring in three new DC superhero characters never seen on TV, along with a slew of
Arrow/Flash recurring fan favorites. Hawkgirl is not expected to be one of them as the character has appeared in a Season 9 episode of the WB/CW drama
Smallville, played by Sahar Biniaz, as well as in a couple of animated series including
Justice League.
In the new series, Saunders is a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl.
