Stargirl Preview: Courtney Has Her Own Plan on How To Be A Superhero
The CW and DC Universe's live-action Stargirl is set to debut next month (May 18 on the streaming service, following day on the network), when Brec Bassinger's Courtney Whitmore begins her journey as the cosmic staff-wielding do-gooder while also inspiring the next generation of superheroes. That next generation includes modern takes on Doctor Mid-Nite, Hourman, and Wildcat, but it's not just the younger generation who will heed the call. When Courney finds out that her stepdad Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) has a history of living the sidekick life, Pat looks to protect his daughter the only way he knows how, and that "how" is spelled S.T.R.I.P.E. Pat's job is about to get a whole lot more complicated when he realizes that her "Plan" on being a hero isn't quite the same as his.
