Lastly, González said she was hopeful that one day she’ll “get to play a cool superhero” but while that opportunity arises she will “be watching Daredevil and sending that cast all the love.”
Hopefully I’ll get to play a cool superhero at one point of my career and it will be tons of fun and I’d be honored to be even considered. Meanwhile, I’ll be watching Daredevil and sending that cast all the love ❤️
