'Batwoman' Showrunner Says Javicia Leslie Basically Had the Role After First Audition

Javicia Leslie really nailed her Batwoman audition!

The 33-year-old recently opened up about being prepared for the role way before it was available, and the series’ showrunner dished on her audition.

“Javicia blew everyone else away,” Caroline Dries told THR about Javicia being the obvious choice for Ryan Wilder.

The new CW star also shared that she’s been ready for a role like this.

“I’m very active in my personal life, so being able to allow that to be my work, that’s heaven for me. I do Muay Thai. I do fitness training. I run. Anything that’s active I’m always down for, so this is going to be like playing on the playground every day,” Javicia said.

“There’s not many actors that get this opportunity to play in a world that you can continue to develop and expand on for a decade,” she added. “This is a great beginning to what I’m sure will be a very long journey.”
