<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZvWgHeBKbks" width="600"></iframe></figure>Young girls are starting to look up to Melissa Benoist as a role model, thanks to her being cast as the heroine in the TV series “Supergirl.”Benoist, who just turned 28, said she feels more confident whenever she puts her suit on, adding that being a role model is what Supergirl and her cousin Superman stand for.“What I love about the supers, about Superman and Supergirl, is what they stand for, how truly good they are from the inside out. She, I think, really holds everyone that works on the show to a standard. That’s just the character herself because she’s so good, and she’s so hopeful and optimistic --- that’s a huge thing that I’ve learned from playing her – to always find the silver lining.”She acknowledges the impact that social media has in influencing the youth and in putting pressure on anyone with a public position to be a good role model for kids, but she said it also has its blessings.“I think that brings a lot of freedom with it to just be yourself and share how empowering that can be, to be true to who you are at all times,” she said.Benoist said she may be the only female superhero on TV nowadays but believes this won’t be for long, with new movies featuring stronger female leads like Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman coming out in the next two years. She herself looks up to actress Linda Carter, the original Wonder Woman on TV, after working with her in Supergirl. She said she learned a lot from Carter, who advised her to embrace her character.<div>SEASON 2</div>Benoist has been busy filming Season 2 of Supergirl here in Vancouver. She said fans can expect more crossovers between Supergirl and other superhero shows on the CW Network like “The Flash”, “Arrow” and “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.” <figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nvzqZKYqQX0" width="600"></iframe></figure>Superman will also make an appearance on the first two episodes of the second season which will premiere this coming Monday, October 10. Two new comic book characters will also be added, the alien Mon-El and Detective Maggie Sawyer. Another highlight of the second season is the musical crossover between Supergirl and The Flash.Benoist said that now that Supergirl has moved to The CW, fans can expect more character growth and development and a more expanded Supergirl world.Audiences in the Philippines and other Asian countries will be able to watch Supergirl on the same day as its US airing, through HOOQ, a video-on-demand service, which has the exclusive digital distribution rights to the TV series and other TV superheroes in the DC universe.
