Wallis Day about replacing Ruby Rose as Kate Kane in Batwoman

Recent articles

Almost a year after the announcement that Ruby Rose was leaving the show, the character Kate Kane made her return Batwoman in last Sunday’s episode ‘Initiate Self-Destruct’ – albeit with a facelift, like Krypton actress Wallis Day made her debut in The CW’s Arrowverse series.

Speak against CBR and Weekly entertainment After the episode aired, Day explained how her casting in the DC series came about and how she plans to make the role her own.

“So I went for it last year when they announced Ruby’s departure,” said Day. “But a few weeks after the trial started, they said they were going in a different direction. But [showrunner] Caroline Dries wrote me an email and just said, “Look, we’re going in a different direction, but if we do bring Kate back, I’ll call you.” And I was like, [sighs] “Yes, everyone always says that to the actors!” But to be honest, I was really mad about it because it just felt like a good move. You never really get turned on because as an actor you get used to rejection a bit, but it just gnawed at me. In January, Caroline called, and I was like, ‘Yeah, I still want to play Kate! Let’s do it!’ And here we are. “

“I spoke to Caroline extensively [Dries, showrunner] about what she wanted, and I watched all of Season 1, and then they sent me all the episodes they filmed for Season 2, ”Day explained regarding her preparation for the role. I asked for the [season 1] scripts too, because Caroline didn’t want me trying to mimic what Ruby had with Kate. She wanted me to make Kate mine and show her how I felt a Kate was or should be portrayed. So I wanted the scripts because I wanted to see what the writing delivered rather than just the actresses version of Kate. And that was actually so telling because it gave me so much more in-depth insight into who Kate is as a person. I’ve watched both seasons and read pretty much all the scripts. “
