It’s going to be well over a year before the new DCU makes its cinematic debut, but the newly rebooted universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran is well on its way. The Superman: Legacy cast is mostly in place ahead of filming starting later this year, and it looks like a decision is close on deciding who will play Superman’s cousin, as two actresses, Milly Alcock and Meg Donnelly, are reportedly onto the screen test phase for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
THR reports that screen tests for both Alcock, who played Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon and Donnelly, the voice of Supergirl in several animated DC projects, took place this week. DC Films’ co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran were both reportedly on hand for the tests. A previous report had included actress Emilia Jones as a contender for Supergirl alongside Alcock and Donnelly. While we don't know if that report was perfectly accurate, if it was it looks like the field has continued to narrow. According to the latest update, the decision of who will play Supergirl is important as the character will be appearing in Superman: Legacy before leading their film.
