‘Supergirl’ at Comic-Con! A New Suit, the Crossover, a Baby on the Way, and More!

“Extra” caught up with the cast of “Supergirl” at the 2019 Comic-Con International: San Diego, where they dished on the new season.
Along with discussing the focus of the new season, Melissa Benoist noted that her character is getting a new super suit that includes pants. She said, "I can move… it’s so comfortable… it’s so empowering.”
Melissa’s co-star Andrea Brooks also pointed out that she is pregnant, joking that crying scenes will come easier since she’s “hormonal.”
The cast, including Chyler Leigh, David Harewood, Mehcad Brooks, Katie McGrath, Nicole Maines, and Jesse Rath, dished on the crossover and more!

But haven't you noticed her body language is like that in every interview this year? I mean even in the cast picture EW released of them, she looks... annoyed.

Low-key choosing to believe that Kara’s character changed her suit and hair because of Red Daughter. And to those antis saying “Lena is toxic, she punched Kara.” She’s not. It could be a VR simulation so she can take out her frustrations about the situation. You tried. 👋🏻

[@robertpolanco1973]

Personally, I am looking forward to the Fifth new season of "Supergirl" with new stories and some familiar characters based on the "Superman" comic book series. I am disappointed, however, that in 2018 there was NO episode of "Supergirl" devoted to the 80th anniversary of the Man of Steel from the issue of "Action Comics" in 1938. Other than that, I have mixed feelings about the new "Supergirl" costume for Melissa Benoist, even though I was unaware that there has been cold weather in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and that might be the only reason for the new costume for the Girl of Steel.

[@killjoy4862]

David Harewood is A BRITISH???? I'm shocked! Didn't know that.

[@davidparkes7741]

It would be an incredible disservice to not only Katie as an actor but the show in general if they allow Lena to go "full Luthor." To put it bluntly, to make her evil now would be to Daenerys Targaryen her. Which i don't think i need to explain.

[@sinneriam423]

A fcking disaster tbh

[@annedias8014]

Yeah. Lena's a victim of an abusive and terrorist family, a survivor. She's an example of strength and resilience.

[@edricawebb1578]

No, you don't need to explain. The analogy is perfectly apt. Both characters are incredibly complex, having survived an incredible amount of abuse and trauma, only to carve their own powerful identity-- which is always at war with itself. GOT writers needed to end the show, so they took the lowest road possible (so many options they had for leaving possibilities open, i.e., Daenerys takes off with her troops, leaving Jon in charge of King's Landing... they battle, later, when Dany is burning cities, etc..) Supergirl writers would be very foolish to go "full Luthor" with Lena, have her killed off, and close off that multi-street intersection of where these characters could go-- even if they're played by all new people in the future. Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, and Katie McGrath are establishing very well defined, if not complex, characters... it would be easy for future actors (and writers) to pick up where they leave off, *IF* they do the right thing, now.
