David Harewood has a blast portraying J'onn J'onzz on The CW show,
Supergirl. However, recently he was asked to pull double duty and step into the role of Cybog Superman as well, a role part Harewood is not overly thrilled about.
Speaking to a young fan at Supernova Comic Convention in Australia, Harewood spoke about his discontent playing the character.
"I don’t like playing Cyborg Superman," he explained.
"It’s boring. They didn’t really flesh it out, they didn’t really write for the character. They just gave me this rather cheap-looking mask and no costume, and said ‘Okay, you’re Cyborg Superman.’ But it didn’t really pan out – they didn’t really go into why he was a cyborg, how he became a cyborg, what his powers were … it was just kind of randomly calling him ‘Cyborg Superman.’ I was very excited about it at first, but then I very quickly realized that there wasn’t really much to it so, it’s kind of boring. Whenever I’m walking to my trailer and I see that costume, I just switch off. Because I know it’s going to be a really boring day.”
Check out the full interview below in which Harewood talks about a few other things such as, who he'd like to see J'onn interact with more, his make-up process for The Martian Manhunter (spoiler alert: it's not much), and his favorite superpower.
Supergirl will return to The CW Monday October 9th.
