The cast and crew of “Supergirl” were spotted in and outside of Vancouver Central Public Library on Wednesday, Sept. 14, while rehearsing and filming scenes for its upcoming Season 2.

For the scene, the 27-year-old actress just did a brief sequence of bending down and then jumping up in the air as if flying straight up. According to YVRShoots, her stunt double Atlin Mitchell and VFX were expected to complete the sequence.

The façade of Vancouver Central Public Library was transformed into the National City Diamond Exchange for that particular outdoor filming,
