»As directors it is of the utmost importance to us that our work is shown to the public,” the filmmakers added. The comic adaptation was “far from finished”; however, they would have liked “fans around the world to have had the opportunity to see and record the final film for themselves.”

Lead actress Leslie Grace shared photos and videos from the shooting on Instagram and thanked those involved: “I’m proud of the love and hard work that all the cast and tireless crew put into this film over seven months in Scotland.” The actress also addressed her fans. “Thank you for the love and faith and for allowing me to put on the cape,” Grace said. “As Babs put it best – to be ‘my own goddamn heroine’!”
