“Definitely what I’m wearing is a little bit out there, but I love it,” she told The Hollywood Reporter, calling Cowan “fearless” and noting that she most admired the character Buttercup “because I feel like she’s so powerful and strong and the leader; she doesn’t care. And she’s kind of a tomboy so I love her.“
