Milly Alcock says she hasn't spoken to previous Supergirl actors like Melissa Benoist and Sasha Calle about playing Kara Zor-El: "They're just people living their lives"

Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El in Supergirl.

Milly Alcock is making history as the first Supergirl to get her own movie in over 40 years. But rather than looking backward at what's come before, Alcock says she's avoided asking previous actors who have filled the role for advice or for their blessing.
