hello Brec. Welcome to the DC Universe. You are 2020 version of what Buffy the Vampire slayer was. A strong young woman with a struggle between balancing portraying a typical person dealing with the daily grind of a student and learning the responsibilities of a legacy superhero. trying to portray a well rounded character can be tricky are you afraid one part will overwhelm the other part? thank you, best of luck with this series.

Howdy Ms. Bassinger, really looking forward to watching Star Girl! When you were on set did you ever do one of these with the Cosmic Staff?


:grin:

:open_mouth: holy crap just watched the first eps. Amazing super congrats to you and Mr. Johns! Loved every minute! Great acting and not sure what all was you and what was your stunt woman but y’all did great with the staff! After seeing it now and the chemistry between you and the staff, the lord of the rings joke would actually be even more hilarious to see. I’m sure it would blow the one from forgetting sarah marshall right out of the water!

Hi Brec!

Congrats on your big role! From the trailers alone, you are phenomenal as Courtney Whitmore already–both action scenes and emotional ones–so I am excited to finally see everything in context!

Are there any funny or interesting moments that happened on set during filming last year that you can share?

Hi Brec! Thanks for taking the time to stop and chat with us!

My question is, what have you been doing to prepare yourself to take on the persona of Stargirl? Typically when an actor takes on the role of a super hero, they are not only playing that part on screen, but have to take on the responsibility of the character in the real world, where kids (and even some adults) look up to you and expect you to act a certain way. Just wondering if you have thought about it, and if so, what you were doing to prepare yourself for the onslaught :slight_smile:

Thanks

I am so excited for the series premiere of Stargirl on the DC Universe on Monday May 18th, 2020. This is definitely going to be like watching a movie. 1) When you got the role of Stargirl was their a specific storyline that stood out for Stargirl?
2) What has been your favorite stunt sequence for season 1 of Stargirl?
