They say “Katie we’re making Lena a witch this season.” What was your immediate response? It’s basically like Cinderella.Įxcellent! I’m curious though, how you felt when they came to you. I’m just using the power of my mind to stir things. Right now I’m sitting in the kitchen and I’m not actually touching any of the things that are out. I’m sorry, so you’re telling me you’re not actually a witch in real life? When would I get to do that kind of stuff? And that’s when you’re like, ‘my job is pretty bloody cool.’ Like, when would I ever? When would I ever get to do that? Have like, a completely fluent Latin speaker recording things for me and tell me the best way to do it. It’s like you get to do all of these like weird, different skills that you would never get in a normal life. And I was like, ‘Guys, can we not just stick with the same language? I suck at them all, but at least marginally one I have an experience in?’īut you know what? I mean, this is what’s so weird about my job or about the job of an actor. I mean, it’s almost like I had experience! Almost like I knew what I was doing! Because this time, it was all in Latin, Old English. Did the magic just flow back to you naturally? And I’m dying to know how you felt about that. So this season, you got to play a witch once more. But you know what? Lex kind of had it coming, and I think Jon would agree with me. It’s horrible punching Jon, because he’s a nice guy. I mean, listen, when it happened in the moment, I may or may not have fist pumped because I was so excited for you.ĭamn f-ing right! I mean, it’s horrible. You know? There’s something very validating about destroying something evil. Because also, Jon is so great because when you punch him - not Jon, when you punch Lex Luthor - he always looks so shocked and in pain, which is exactly the response you want when you hit him. (laughs) Oh, who did I enjoy punching the most? God, it depends on the day! There’s something very satisfying about punching Lex Luthor. Who was the best one to punch? Who was your favorite? In the course of the last two seasons here, you got to punch both Supergirl and Lex Luthor. Katie, I believe very much in in leading with my most important question. An excerpt of this interview was originally published earlier Tuesday morning. Note: This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. You can read our full conversation with Katie McGrath, reflecting on her return to (mostly) fictional witchiness and the final season of “Supergirl” as a whole below. Freshly minted as Esme’s godmother, the final moments of the finale saw Lena enjoying game night with her super family, confident in her place and her magical abilities. In the end, Lena did indeed get her much-deserved closure with the Luthor side of her family - even Lillian Luthor, which McGrath notes was a particularly difficult scene to get through - and fully stepped into her new family.
