Over 24 uur zal in Amerika de pilot aflevering (die al maanden geleden 'gelekt' is op het internet) Supergirl worden uitgezonden. Dus mogen de makers en cast nu alle pers events af om te vertellen hoe leuk het is om deze TV serie te maken. Nu waren Melissa Benoist en Andrew Kreisberg te gast bij de website Collider waar ze vertelde over hun voorbereiding, de villians en verwijzingen naar de comics. Hier onder kan je er alvast een stukje van lezen:

Did you read any comics to prepare for this role?

BENOIST: I read some of the New 52. But also, what I love about what Ali [Adler], Greg [Berlanti], Andrew [Kreisberg] and Sarah [Schechter] have created is that I truly feel like we are making this modern, 2015 version of her. So, I wanted to know the world, but I wanted to separate myself from it a little bit, to really make her my own.

Andrew, was there a moment for you, in watching Melissa, where you felt you really got the casting right?

ANDREW KREISBERG: We knew that she was our Kara and our Supergirl, from the very start. I don't think any of us ever questioned that. But it was that first time that she put on the outfit for us, we were at Warner Bros. in the costume department, with Colleen Atwood, who designed the costume. For all the good intentions and all the good planning and all of the talented people in the world, you can sometimes misfire on these things, especially when it's based on a comic book. But when Melissa stepped out wearing that outfit, it was like, "Oh, this is going to work." None of us had any doubts, from that point forward. We knew we had the right girl, but after that, we knew that we had something really, really special.
