Cara Delevingne a rather outspoken voice for feminism made these comments in an interview with Empire Magazine issue 314.
“There are only three girls in ['Suicide Squad’] but in my opinion they have the best roles,” she said. “Generally though, superhero movies are totally sexist.
"Female superheroes are normally naked or in bikinis. No-one would be able to fight like that. Wonder Woman, how the hell does she fight? She would be dead in a minute.”
It’s interesting that she went after the Movies and not the comics themselves, and that she chose to focus on Wonder Women which is a important property for the movie universe she has become part of.
She also talked about her role as the Enchantress and the character’s ability to control minds. When asked is this the type of superpowers she would like to have. Delevingne answered: “No, I think I’d rather be able to anybody or anything, I guess. "That’s kind of the ultimate acting superpower, and of course that’s like Mystique in 'X-Men’, but as well I’d like to be a tree if I wanted to, or a paper clip.”
Delevingne is currently in the middle of filming Suicide Squad to be released August 5, 2016.
