DC’s hopes of building momentum after Superman have hit an unexpected roadblock, as early reactions to Supergirl spark a wave of criticism and divide audiences.
Despite strong anticipation following her scene-stealing cameo in Superman, Milly Alcock’s debut as the iconic heroine is drawing mixed reviews, with critics branding the film “ugly” and “flat” while also taking issue with Supergirl’s characterization.
The reactions follow months of scrutiny surrounding Alcock’s casting, with the actress enduring persistent criticism and commentary about her appearance long before the film’s release.
