Jeremy Jordan Talks Winn On Supergirl
Supergirl has gone through a lot since arriving on the CW. New locations, new characters, and more, it’s a big change. Some of the characters have changed a lot too. Like Winn, played by Jeremy Jordan, who now works at the city headquarters of the DEO. Jordan talked about what Winn’s mindset is with being a government agent now with Comicbook.com:
“It’s been really fun. Developing Winn’s relationship with Alex and Hank has been really exciting,” Jordan said. “Even though she’s Kara’s big sister and a little bit older than Winn, Winn sort of becomes a little bit more of a sounding board for Alex. She has someone that she trusts that she can talk to, while at the same time constantly rolling her eyes at. Winn’s relationship with J’Onn-slash-Hank is really fun to explore. Hank is that reluctantly proud father figure but at the same time very stern and firm, so Winn has a lot of fun dealing with Hank. I think he knows tha the’s not actually anybody to really be scared of in terms of he’s not ever going to hurt him or anything and he’s also very excited that he gets to hang out and work with a Martian on a daily basis.”
But also, he notes how Winn is basically a foil for most of the audience, as he’s not afraid to say what he’s thinking when his geek/nerd pride shines:
“I think that Winn has become a foil for the audience in terms of how he’s giving us the fanboy reaction play by play, and that’s a really fun, exciting aspect of Winn to play,” Jordan said. “That’s ‘old Winn.’ That who Winn has always been at his core. At the same time, Winn is growing up and learning to guard himself and learning to protect his friends and he kind of becomes a little bit of the sage advice-giver this season, whether he’s giving advice to Alex or cautioning James to take it easy. I think he’s learned a lot from Cat and he’s learned a lot from his experience in the past year or so and it’s forced him to grow up a lot.”
