“Playing Supergirl is a real honor, I love her with all my heart. She is a beautiful and strong kind of hero, but she also has complexities like any other human, even if she is an alien. I think I will always say that playing this role is one of the greatest honors of my life and I feel proud and honored to meet, feel and experience her”, said Calle, now 27 years old.

“She’s not a perfect hero. She is homeless and when she reaches a place where she thinks she can find safety, she is locked up. There is a lot of pain and suffering that he goes through even after losing his parents and his planet. It was amazing when I read the script and thought, ‘This is everything I’ve ever wanted to play and more.‘”.

“As an alien, I think Supergirl perceives everything ten times more than the others. Ten times more pressure, ten times more pain, ten times more responsibility, ten times more loneliness. I feel so happy and excited for people to see it. I wish I had someone like her to look up to when I was little, I wish I had that Supergirl”.
