Quotes

“I’m a huge dog lover, despite having been bitten by a dog in the face as a kid and he left a cool scar on my upper lip. My fiancé said it looks badass.”

“Being a superhero is a big term and a big word to use, but when I got the role, I was so happy that they hired me because they want to show authentic representation of a deaf and Indigenous person. I’m deaf and Indigenous, so it’s just an amazing experience to go through.”

“The authentic representation, first and foremost, is very awesome. I grew up seeing white superheroes who were mostly men. Now that we have this authentic representation for people of color, it’s so nice to see that change in representation.”

“My family and friends encouraged me because the casting call said they were looking for a 20’s Native American, female, and deaf person, and they said it fit me perfectly. So I went ahead and applied. Three or four months later I got the role. It’s been a crazy ride.”

“It was such an honor to work with [Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld]. I think they are spectacular actors, and I have learned a lot from watching them work behind the scenes.”

“I remember meeting Jeremy on my first day of work on-set; I was a nervous wreck, as this was my very first acting job. He then complimented me in American Sign Language (ASL), which comforted me. Hailee also spelled out her name to me in ASL at the studio where we were doing our stunt training sessions.”

“I believe kids deserve to see inclusivity and accurate representation. It will make kids with all types of cultures and disabilities feel like our dreams can break free from limitations.”

But even so, Alaqua Cox is always able to give her positive energy to the people around her and even able to attract the attention of netizens and feel proud of herself.
