Supergirl to make first appearance in Superman: Legacy.
Australian actress Milly Alcock, who gained popularity for her performance in the Game of Thrones series “House of the Dragon,” has been cast as Supergirl in the upcoming DC Universe. Deadline reported the news exclusively, causing a stir in the entertainment industry. Alcock portrayed the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the inaugural season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon.” She beat out stiff competition for the iconic superhero role. Among her contenders were Emilia Jones of “CODA” fame and Meg Donnelly, recognized for her voice work in DC animated movies such as “Legion of Superheroes” and “Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One.”
Alcock’s selection underscores her rising star power and versatility as an actress.
Her previous portrayal of Princess Rhaenyra showcased her ability to inhabit complex characters. She was an ideal candidate to embody the strength, courage, and compassion synonymous with Supergirl. The announcement comes as Supergirl prepares to make her mark in the DC cinematic universe. Set to debut in James Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy,” slated for release on July 11th, 2025, Supergirl will then soar into her own standalone film, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.”
Gunn’s vision for Supergirl’s introduction promises a thrilling exploration of the character’s origin.
It will follow her morbid upbringing and journey to becoming Earth’s protector. With Alcock at the helm, fans eagerly anticipate her interpretation of the beloved superhero. She is poised to captivate audiences with her charisma and authenticity. “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” holds immense potential to redefine the superhero genre. It should offer audiences a fresh perspective on one of DC’s most iconic characters. As Supergirl’s first solo cinematic outing, the film will celebrate her legacy while charting new territory in her narrative arc.
With Alcock’s casting, Gunn and Safran have signaled their commitment to finding talent that embodies the spirit of the iconic DC Characters. All their choices should bring depth and nuance to the role. As anticipation builds for the release of “Superman: Legacy” and “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” all eyes will be on Alcock as she prepares to take flight as the newest superhero sensation.
