From Dragon's Den to DC Universe: Milly Alcock Soars as the New Supergirl
Discover the journey of Milly Alcock, from her acclaimed role in HBO's House of the Dragon to becoming DC's new Supergirl. Dive into the details of this exciting casting news and what it means for the future of the DC Universe.
The DC Universe is set to welcome a new face to its pantheon of superheroes. Milly Alcock, best known for her role as the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO's House of the Dragon, has been cast as the new Supergirl.
The news was announced by James Gunn, the CEO of DC Studios. Alcock's casting comes after a series of auditions and screen tests, which left Gunn impressed by her varied performances. He expressed his excitement about Alcock joining the DC Universe, praising her as a "fantastically talented young actor".
Alcock's portrayal of Supergirl, also known as Kara Zor-El, is expected to be a departure from previous iterations of the character. Gunn has hinted at a more "hardcore" Supergirl, shaped by her traumatic experiences on Krypton before coming to Earth. This aligns with the vision of the character as seen in Tom King's 2022 comic book series.
Before her solo feature, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Alcock is expected to make her first appearance as Supergirl in Superman: Legacy, scheduled for release in 2025. However, it's not confirmed whether she'll appear in Gunn's Superman: Legacy, which is about to start filming.
Alcock's casting is a significant milestone in her career, following her acclaimed performance in House of the Dragon. She beat out other contenders for the role, including Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly. Her casting also marks a continuation of DC's commitment to fresh and diverse talent in its superhero roster.
As fans eagerly anticipate Alcock's debut as Supergirl, one thing is certain: the DC Universe is about to get a new, compelling interpretation of a beloved character. With Alcock's proven acting chops and Gunn's creative vision, the future of Supergirl looks brighter than ever.
