Tomorrow has finally come for the Girl of Tomorrow,Melissa Benoist.
Despite all of these exciting changes, closure onSupergirlstill feels elusive.
“I definitely felt a different kind of closure when we wrapped on set, very bittersweet.

I felt all the emotions you could feel in the last two weeks of shooting that show.
Because I feel like every woman has a million women inside of them.
I’m so ready.'

And just the feeling of wanting to throw it away and not think about it again.
I definitely will miss playing the role, but I was ready for a break, personally.”
“It would have to feel right for the character and I know they would probably do it justice.

I love playing withGrant Gustin.
I loveTyler HoechlinandBitsie TullochonSuperman & Lois.
So no, I’m not opposed to it.”

But it took me a really long time to actually embrace that idea."
One of those moments for sure would be leaving the abusive relationship I was in.
That was maybe the most empowered I’ve ever felt.
Matt Sayles For EW
And that kind of still fuels me.
I still feel that empowerment.
But I was just in a massive city that was so foreign from where I grew up."
I wish I’d known that I could have said, ‘No, I can’t do this.
It’s too much.’
Or, ‘I’m overwhelmed.’
And I feel like I would have maybe had more memories of that time."
One because it was so fun and that is [season 2’s ‘Supergirl Lives.']
It was Kevin Smith’s first episode.
So I would revisit that one specifically because it was just a gas.
We were laughing the whole time and really collaborating and improvising, which I love doing.
And then the second one I would want to revisit was in season 1 a lot of season 1.
There was like an electric energy there.
And he speed-walked and that guy is actually abnormally fast!
I’ve never seen anyone… We hada lot of cast come backand playing with those guys again made me really happy.
It was so, so good to see Mehcad [Brooks].
Those days were great.
And my sister is an amazing writer.
I found it really enjoyable, while also the publishing world is such a different industry.
And we were huge bookworms!A Wrinkle in Timeand Madeleine L’Engle andHarry Potterwere favorite books of ours.
I would love to keep these characters going.
It’s just so fun.
I think that’s something that I haven’t done [yet].
It’s so hard, but that makes it all worth it."
