Leslie Grace still hasn’t seen her Batgirl costume for the HBO Max film, but she’s ready to “kick some butt” as the DC hero.
Batgirl star Leslie Grace still hasn’t seen her costume for the upcoming DC movie.
“I’m dying! They haven’t told me anything, I honestly cannot leak anything, even if I knew,” Grace told ET. “But I have no idea! I think probably until I head off, I won’t know much, but I’m dying to know what that outfit looks like. I know that I’m going to be [doing], like, 35 different fittings for this costume. [Laughs]”
“It’s a big deal, so we want to get it right,” Grace continued. “I’m excited to see what that process is going to be like. My mom’s dying to know.”
After years of stalled development, the Batgirl film officially began moving forward this year with a pair of directors coming aboard before Grace landed the lead role in July.
“It was a crazy shock. I mean, obviously, I had been auditioning. It was a whole process, you know? But it was just, like, mind-bending,” Grace said about the audition process. “It’s still mind-bending to think about it, and we’re about to embark on this insane journey. But I found out via Zoom, because COVID world. The directors and the studio were on, and they kind of try to make it a surprise. They tried to make it like I was doing a final test, and then they sent me an email saying, ‘I’m Batgirl’ and had me read it. And I was just like, ‘I’m not reading that! I don’t know what’s happening right now!’ [Laughs]”
“I thought that I was doing a follow-up test. I had self-taped and I had read, did a chemistry read and I thought we were doing another read, like an in-the-moment read, and then they just had me read that line,” Grace said. “It was insane. It was beautiful. It’s a blessing. I’m so excited about the character. I’m excited to nerd out with all of the comics. I’ve already been doing so much research on it and I’m excited to learn how to kick some butt, too, because your girl, she’s going to have to get rough and tough to be Miss Barbara Gordon. So, I cannot wait.”
Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, written by Christina Hodson, and starring Leslie Grace, Batgirl has yet to receive a release date on HBO Max.
