Supergirl Casts Nicole Maines as TV's First Trans Superhero | First Reactions at Comic Con 2018 

I’m a simple person I see Chyler and Katie and I click

Lol everyone's like crushing on Ms. Mcgrath. No one can resist the charm 😂

CHYLER LEIGH AND KATIE MCGRATH = GODDESSES

Katie is already so passionate and articulate during her interviews, such a Goddess she is and it’s always funny to hear her gush about how someone else is when she’s literally the most beautiful woman ever, loveeeeeeeeee her

Skipping the whole video until Katie is in it *Sees Chyler in the first minute* Me: Ok.. I guess I can wait a little bit

Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor is so..... Perfect she Nailed it and Owned it Lena Luthor became interesting character because of Katie McGrath. 🥳👑

is it only me or katie mcgrath is the hottest woman in arrowverse.

Katie McGrath looks like the only one who seemed truly interested about this.

Katie McGrath is so witty and I love her.

I'm crying. I love you Katie McGrath, Chyler Leigh and Melissa Benoist. I can't wait to see you on screen Nicole.

Please just let Katie McGrath have her accent I want to hear it. Just let it out CW

I love how supportive the cast is of Nicole and how well spoken they are love em all

Interviewer has a crush on Katie..just like I do 😍😍😂😂

KATIE MCGRATH LOVE OF MY LIFE

It’s about time, I love Nicole already

Hold up, J'ONN IS BRITISH?!

I love how passionate Katie is !!

I just finished watching Season 4 and somehow just found this. Jesse Rath looks like he's trying really hard not to give anything away about Agent Liberty. Also hearing David Harewood with his normal accent is kinda weird...ditto with Katie McGrath (who I think is Irish?).

wow katie Mcgrath is something else, passionate , smart, beautiful, its weird to see and actress and think you like them better not all done up in character. but she is an exception

The way Katie talks about "Villains", i thinks she really likes a good villain. Hmmm? It makes me wonder. Lol

Katie McGrath- such a beauty!

Katie just like her character Lena Luthor is so smart, charming and regal

lena luthor.. marry me

Katie McGrath,Chyler Melissa, your such a brilliant mind..loveyou for your words 😘😘😘

Katie McGrath was trying so hard to remain bipartisan (at least without directly stating the “human villain” she was thinking of in the real world.

i binge-watch supergirl and i'm here to find out that i'm shock that nicole is transgender 🤣 she's so beautiful the first time i saw her on supergirl.

Is it just me or the new superhero could possibly be Alex's new girlfriend

the shade katie threw at trump i’m in love

A Change of Heart for me? I am going to be completely honest as, at least I thought a conservative- leaning, raised in a church going family, living in the Bible Belt state of Indiana man, but this show has made me rethink a lot about my stances. In the past I thought of transgender people, as being kind of icky. Why weren't they happy in the body they were born into? Why go through surgery and all those medical bills to change themselves. I couldn't understand. And when it comes to women who used to be men like Nicole Maines, I would think what does it mean if i am attracted to one? And let me just tell you, Nicole is beautiful. But I think Supergirl may change my heart, perhaps it already has a little just by doing this. It already has made me see lesbians differently, in a good way. This show is really trying to make people see things from perhaps a different perspective than their own, not caring if it steps on people's toes, and all I can say is RESPECT. As Lena said about the Harunel in season 3 finale, its revolutionary. It's got something to say, perhaps a little heavy handed at times, but I definitely respect it for staying relevant and for having something to say about what constantly seems like a world of prejudice and hate. I love this show as it is trying its best to tell the viewing audience that everyone deserves love, whether we completely understand them or not, we are all called to love and respect one another. I don't want to be the villain of the story, like Agent Liberty, who only serves to stir up fear and hatred.

Wow the truth that comes out of Katie's mouth makes me love her so much more

OMG I LOVE THIS CAST SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!😭♥️❤️😍 I cant wait for season 4!!!

I’m so excited!! This season will be AMAZING

Its really amazing and feel good to see such personality to include in the Supergirl sesson. Its my fav show . But I miss Flo also is there any chance of seeing her again in the series 4

I'm crying so much holy shit thank you really thank you

This comment section is full of such positive and accepting beans😍😁

I have a crush on Melissa. She is currently my favorite super hero. I wish Sideshow would do a statue of her to go on my collection of other super heros. I think she is awesome and lovely. Currently my favorite show then The Flash then Gotham and then Krypton

KATIEEEEEEE

Idk about anyone else, but it is like the best thing ever that while being outnumbered the women of the show still are - don’t manage to be or are written as - but they ARE the main characters and unlike other shows where some of the main women can be cut out without a thought the women of the show are the show. That’s amazing. And I’m so happy that Supergirl continues to be forward and unapologetically outspoken and accepting of the weirdness.

Omygad ! Katie is so powefull

I love Supergirl! More more seasons please I love all of them especially Katie and Chyler

Awsome! Cant wait for season 4! :)

Katie is so well spoken and sweet I love her 💕

I’m here for all of this! I love this cast especially the ladies on the show. They’re all so well spoken and beautiful! Katie is my ultimate celebrity crush. I don’t understand all the negative comments about a story about a trans woman. I’m so excited to see this season! Nicole is beautiful I can’t wait to see what Nia Nal (Dreamer) brings to the show! 🙌🏽♥️🏳️‍🌈

Everytime i think i can't be more in love with Katie Mcgrath she proves me wrong

I’m so in love with all of them... but Katie could have my babies

2:38 James Will Always Be James 😂😂😂😂

I really love the way Melissa Benoist talks she really talk like her role of supergirl or kara danvers

Still want supercorp

Katie is such a queen. ❤

Please post panel videos!!!

Nicole is gonna do wonderful although whether the writing is up to par, we’ll see. No matter what however i’m feeling really good for supergirl season 4! SDCC really lifted my spirits about this upcoming season so i’m v excited :)

Omg I love this show and I love this fact. Can’t wait for the new season.

Good job Supergirl 👊 go for it girl, nice opportunity they are giving to her. That's great 😊

As long as written well I don't care.

Chyler Leigh is so beautiful

Where is the black lighting interview

0:16 yes MELISSA YES PREACH already loving these answers and haven't even heard Katie yet. She was definitely about to be like ABOUT DAMN TIME LET'S GO

"Hate is not a family value." Fuck I love this cast

So proud I stan a show like this ❤❤

I saw this on my grans tv when she was watching the news, I looked up and screamed “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS” in my mind. I so happylol

David/J’onnz has an accent irl??

As someone that is transgender, I can't wait to see what they bring. LGBTQ+ people have been getting more recognition, but still need a bit more representation like a asexual character, maybe. Other than that this is a start and it's good.

Kind of sad that this still has to be newsworthy, speaks volumes about society....Then again perhaps that's just me, I couldn't give a fukk what race or sex you are, I treat everyone as equals and was bought up not to judge.

One of the actors said hatred is not a family value. It is if your Republican

barely uploaded and already so much toxicity in the comments.

nicole maines is awesome i LOVE dreamer!!!

Katie LOVE OF MY LIFE 😍❤

I ♥️ Katie McGrath 🤗

The supergirl writers are getting hate for bringing out awareness to something people may not see everyday. People are allowed to have their own opinion but don’t bring it across in an ignorant way because being transgender, bisexual, lesbian, or gay is something that is part of many people’s everyday life and the way I was raised was if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all

Mechad explained it so well!! 👌

I don't understand, if you're against this then why did you click on the video?

So how you explain Numee from Sense8 then ...

Just knowing that we get inclusiveness for trans characters now makes me happy :)

dude im crying ;-;

Katie:Human villains Me:AkA Trump!

If it were any other show doing this, I'd be worried. Speaking as a lesbian, many shows just shove LGBT characters in for the sake of political correctness, but few ever develop those characters beyond that, which can be just as harmful as no representation. That's not the case with Supergirl. This show just handles everything perfectly, and I mean everything. It's wonderful that they're the first ones to have a trans superhero and I can't wait to see what they do with her.

1:34 I love him sm

Looks like Agent Liberty will be kind of a Trump-like figure. In the trailer Witwer's voice is amazing.

what is the guy who plays jimmy talking about? it's best to know what you are so that way people dont be felt cheated.

As long as they focus more on the superhero aspect.

okay but why are so many people saying that having a trans superhero will ruin the show? i'm not familiar with any of the comics, but it seems like the original character wasn't trans, and the writers are changing the character. i understand that being a fan of the original story makes new changes to the story line seem bad, but this is such an important issue that needs to be talked about. supergirl is the perfect platform to give the trans community representation, and i couldn't be happier about it.

Kaite is too beautiful.

Who is it? The person coming ?

❤ for chyler

Am I the only one who sees Jesse as Brainy in real life?

OH LORD YESSSSS

Am I the only one just now finding out David is British??

Where is Nicole ??

I love Katie 😍🥰

All in all I think this is a good idea but, I do wish it was truly a new trans superhero. Dreamer is the renamed Dream Girl from the Legion of Super-Heroes. Able to see the future when she dreams and a powerful hand to hand combatant.

its not a historical moment when there have already been superpowered transgender tv characters out there tho

I think the villain this season is James. Just by what everyone’s saying

Jessica queller talking about how she’s excited about portraying new identities literally made me CACKLE

Where's Maggie??

Coool

Give a like if katie have a accent👍👌

INSPIRATIONAL CAST

Going just a tad bit overboard aren't we CW? As long as they are not bringing it up every five seconds. We should be ok.

Ladies of Supergirl ❤️❤️

Actually I don't even notice but then wow 😳 I think I would definitely date
