January 25, 2016: David Harewood on Martian Manhunter's Past on "Supergirl"

Season 1, Episode 11 'Strange Visitor From Another Planet' In an interview with ComicBookResources.com, actor David Harewood talks about the Martian Manhunter's past, the appearance of the White Martian, and what else we need to know about tonight's episode of "Supergirl". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    The White Martians wiped out J'onn's entire race. What are they doing on Earth, now?

    Whenever J'onn uses his powers, because they are a member of the same race, they know when each other are around. The White Martians pick up that J'onn is using his powers and hone in on him. They want to get rid of him.

    The White Martian is a completely CG character, but so is the Martian Manhunter. How much of this role is you interacting and fighting with thin air?

    It's a little bit of both. We're finding our feet and finding our way with the amount of digital and the amount of real life stuff that we can do. The show's creators are keen to show J'onn as much as we can, but also to show me as much as we can. Obviously, I can play the more nuanced scenes; it's better to have the actor than the CG model. Throughout the fights, you will get to see if people can tell which is CG and which is real life.

Tonight's new episode of "Supergirl" is titled "Strange Visitor From Another Planet", and will air on CBS at 8.00pm ET/PT.
