“What’s so wonderful about her is that she is such a relatable character, amongst her powers,” she said to the site’s Scott Huver. “What I’m the most excited about is telling a story about a human being really realizing their potential and their strength, and I think that’s something that everyone will root for and want in their own lives – I’m really excited about that.”
She didn’t reveal if she’ll be wearing a costume – though CBS’ Nina Tassler seemed to have confirmed in the past that there is one – but having seen the costume in the comics, Benoist laughed that the notion is “a little daunting.” “It’s daunting, but that’s good. I like being pushed. I work well under pressure,” she says.
“I think if you told my five-year-old self that all this would be happening in this period of time, I would not have believed you!” she said. “Because it’s been really wonderful. I feel so privileged to be working and doing what I’ve always loved to do since I was four years old…I’m a little overwhelmed by it, to be honest.”
