Gina Rodriguez on Representing Latinas: "I Use My Voice to Make People Feel Like They Belong"

PS: What's next for you? Are we finally seeing you as a superhero?

GR: I’m putting it on POPSUGAR Latina right now, I will be a superhero one day! But I’m actually about to go to New Orleans for my new film, Deepwater Horizon, which is my first blockbuster movie. It's directed by Peter Berg, and the actors include Mark Wahlberg, John Malkovich, Kurt Russell, Kate Hudson, and Dylan O’Brien. I’m one of the leads, and I get to play a phenomenal woman. It's about the 2010 oil spill in the gulf of Mexico, and she’s a Latina from San Diego. She was a dream role for me, because I’ve always desired to do a political and social movement story. I fought very hard for this role.
