Broadway actress, Ciara Renee, who made her Broadway debut in Big Fish and appeared on NBC's Law & Order: SVU, will be playing the role of Kendra Saunders, Hawkgirl. Reported by Deadline, Saunders isn't expected to be one of the three new comic characters on television that this Arrow/Flash spin-off has promised, since Hawkgirl appeared during season 9 of Smallville.

The character for the new spin-off show is described as a young woman that starts to learn she has been reincarnated over centuries and when she is provoked, the ancient warrior persona within her manifests itself, which includes wings growing out of her back.

Renee will join Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer, Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart, Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory, Victor Garber, and Caity Lotz.
