Following all that promotion for the movie, the Portuguese beauty and model-turned-actress, Sampaio, was still processing everything related to her role in the movie while other people involved were turning to tears. And she graciously shared on Instagram her proud association with this global blockbuster that even world-wise is now considered rank number-1. That caption that reads “I’m not crying 😭 you are! 🥹 So proud of everyone that brought this movie to life. Still can’t believe I get to be apart of it,” drew a horrendous amount of reaction—from fans to co-stars to others.

Directed by Gunn and with Corenswet leading as the multifaceted superhero, the film was hailed for offering a fresh twist to the legacy of Superman. While mostly shrouded in secrecy through the production period, Sampaio’s involvement seems to have made quite the impression. “You were my favorite part!! ❤️❤️❤️,” gushes one fan going through the comments, while another says, “Eve was so fun to watch! You did an incredible job!” And it wasn’t just the casual viewers coming out in disposition—even industry insiders voiced their joys with “I wasn’t sure how I was gonna feel when James Gunn said we wouldn’t be getting any ‘MISS TESCHMACHER’ yelling, but WOW, I absolutely loved your performance and role here.”

The comment section turned into a mini-celebration of Sampaio’s career trajectory, with many Portuguese fans expressing national pride. “Portugal te ama,” wrote one, while another proclaimed, “Portugal has its own Supergirl.” The love had indeed gone beyond borders. International followers recounted their theater experiences, with one stating, “Just finished watching it now. And legit amazing… i was gasping,” while another said, “Leaving the imax theater now. U and the movie was awesome.”

Amidst all the praise, a weird interjection came—a spam attack. A user had bombarded the comments section with a dozen of repeated messages asking for help to recover deleted social media accounts. Those points that upset the natural flow of the grassroots discussions almost never dulled the mood. If anything, the spam highlighted how genuinely excited people are for the movie and for Sampaio’s part in it.

Despite the incident, the movie’s victory surely marks a big win for the revived DC Universe under Gunn’s grooming while Sampaio’s shockingly sincere reaction is very much in accordance with the overall fan reaction. It doesn’t really matter if it’s the special effect and fight scenes, or the brand new direction; one thing is clear: Superman is doing well, and Sara Sampaio is flying high along with him.

Her caption is seemingly a little inside nod to the behind-the-scenes collaboration by tagging Gunn and Corenswet. But it reminds everyone that huge teamwork goes into these blockbusters, and it’s still sinking in for Sampaio that she is a part of that team. Her career now takes a step up—from ruling a catwalk runway to sharing a film with Superman. And judging by the comment section, the audiences are loving it.

The upticks in box office numbers and social media buzz have, at least, promised the world one thing—that we will never hear the last of Sampaio in the superhero world. Since her staggering power is still intact, the comments attest to the fans clamoring for more.
