TVLINE | First off, in Supergirl‘s “Elseworlds” poster you’re holding something that looks like a hammer. Can you tell me anything about what that is?
I don’t know that I can. But I will say that a lot of the fans seem to think its Thor’s hammer, and I’m like, “Well, no because isn’t that Marvel?” So, I guess all I can say it’s not Thor’s hammer, but you know it’s still a badass hammer. They’ll just have to wait and see.
TVLINE | What are Lois and Clark up to when body-swapped Barry and Oliver show up?
In the first scene where I’m introduced, on The Flash(airing Sunday), at that point we’re having almost a bit of a family reunion type of a thing on the Kent farm, which was the same farm as on Smallville.
TVLINE | What does Lois and Clark’s relationship look like when we see them? Are they getting along well?
Oh, my god it’s just adorable, yeah. I mean, it’s the typical kind of like Lois and Clark relationship where she’s kind of giving him a hard time. He’s being like, “Maybe you shouldn’t do that,” and she’s like, “Whatever, I’m doing it.” One of the things that I find so charming about the character is that she loves to give Clark a hard time, and that’s how people interact who love each other. At least, that’s what my husband David [Giuntoli, of Grimm and A Million Little Things] would agree to, because I love teasing him and giving him a hard time.
TVLINE | Is Lois used to Clark often getting called on to go save the world? Like, does she worry about him?
For sure, both of those things are true. She is aware and she’s in love with him, so she worries about him. But also, as someone who herself wants to be in on all of the action and adventure, it’s not like she’s going to be like, “Don’t go.” She’s going to be like, “Can I come?”
TVLINE | And is she ever able to go along at all and be involved in stuff like that?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
TVLINE | I know that the fans have been wanting the Arrowverse’s journalist characters to share screen time. Do you have any scenes with Kara and Iris?
I never worked with Iris (The Flash‘s Candice Patton), but I’m with Kara, and there is one scene where we are talking about what we do [for a living]. But that is something I’m seeing a lot of on Twitter, that people really want the three journalists together. That’d be cool to do in the future.
TVLINE | Speaking of the future, does it feel like there’s a foundation that’s been laid for a potential Superman and Lois series?
Potentially, and it was something I sort of talked to one of the producers about. I think it’ll depend on how this is reviewed and a bunch of other external factors that nobody has really that much control over. I know Tyler and I would love to come back and work more together. We fortunately had great chemistry, which is not always a given.
TVLINE | I’ve seen some of the photos and I don’t think you were showing at all, or if you were, you can’t tell. [Tulloch and Giuntoli are expecting their first child in February.] But was there any kind of “bump choreography” that had to be done when you were shooting?
You know it’s funny, because there were some paparazzi photos that were published during I want to say the second week I was filming and I was like, “Oh my god, I look huge.” But I think overall we were able to hide it with clothing. The director on the last episode I shot, for Supergirl (airing Tuesday), was like, “If we had even started filming you one week later we would’ve had to hide you behind a plant or a desk, not have you in on the action and stuff.” By the end, I was getting a little self-conscious and I noticed I was often having my arms crossed in front of my stomach to try to hide it a little more. But no, I was lucky I wasn’t showing a ton. I also was lucky because during the first four months of the pregnancy I was puking non-stop! I don’t know that I even would’ve auditioned for it if I had still been in that phase where I had such bad morning sickness, but that was totally over by the time I started shooting. I was feeling great.
