Supergirl Katie McGrath IS Lena Luthor!

Katie

 

I think sometimes Lena should just drop the American accent. When she was sitting with James in the last episode, she sounded more Irish most of the time than American. Just say they sent her off to Ireland somewhere when she was young, and that's why it creeps in a lot.

 

a lot of fanfic's have her mother being Irish, or her at an Irish boarding school... it's a common theory to explain away the fact Katie can't do a perfect American accent

 

Irish boarding school makes more sense. If her mother is Irish, why doesn't Lillian Luthor have an Irish accent or slip into one? Why is it only Lena does? She should have less of one.

 

not sure what you mean? Lillian isn't Lena's mother...

 

What do you mean? She always calls her her mother, and Lillian always refers to her as her daughter. Who is she then?

 

Lena's adopted

 

Lex and Lena have the same father; Lena's birth mother is deceased.

 

I really think they should play up the Irish side of her. It would make her more distinctive. She could take her friends to an Irish pub in one episode. They could do some Irish dancing. Maybe Kara will have a go along with Lena, who will show her how to do it.

 

I think the Lillian actress and Katie kinda look similar too.

 

If they got Keira Knightley to guest star, she could play Lena's long lost sister.

"I really would like to see Lena come into full acceptance of who she is, that she's fully accepted who she is, what she's done, and who she is now,"

I guess since it's all Katie interviews this episode is a big one for Lena?

 

Katie’s next project will be “The Continental”, a three-night special-event TV series that is a prequel to the “John Wick Series”. She will play The Adjudicator. No information yet on when it will air.
