When LaMonica Garrett auditioned for last year's Arrowverse crossover "Elseworlds," he had no idea he was reading for the Monitor. Now, longtime Arrowverse producer Marc Guggenheim has released the script Garrett saw when he tried out for the part.In recent interview with CBR, Garrett revealed he didn't know he would be the Monitor until after he was cast. As Guggenheim prepares for this season's epic crossover, he shared the fake script pages used to cast the Monitor last year.
The pages reveal a conversation between Superman and a powerful Kryptonian named Lon-El over the fate of Earth. Both the sequence and Lon-El were conspicuously absent from "Elseworlds." Instead, the assembled heroes would confront the Monitor and John Deegan, while Oliver Queen made a secret deal with the Monitor to save the Flash and Supergirl's lives.
The Monitor has since appeared in each Arrowverse series' season finale, teasing their roles in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths," which is sure to change the fate of the shared television universe forever.
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins Sunday, December 8 at 8 pm ET/PT on Supergirl, then continues in Batwoman on Monday, December 8 at 8 pm ET/PT and in The Flash on Tuesday, December 10 at 8 pm ET/PT. After the winter hiatus, the crossover will conclude on Tuesday, January 14 in Arrow at 8 pm ET/PT and in DC's Legends of Tomorrow at 9 pm ET/PT.
