James Gunn has continued his impressive casting streak with the announcement that Milly Alcock is the new Supergirl. The Australian actor, best known for her roles in House of the Dragon and Upright, is officially Kara Zor-El, joining actors like David Corenswet as Superman and Nicolas Hoult as Lex Luthor in the new DCU.
The early reports are that her screen test was fantastic, which helped land her the part over other stars like Meg Donnelly and Emilia Jones, but there’s something else about this announcement that has me very excited.
