When DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled the DC Universe Chapter One slate a year ago, one of the movies unveiled to the public was Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. This news followed six months ahead of Sasha Calle’s take on Kara Zor-El debuting in The Flash, but with the conclusion of the DC Extended Universe and the forthcoming arrival of the DC Universe, this new shared continuity will see a different actress bringing the Kryptonian hero to life. On that note, it’s been revealed that House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock has been tapped as the new Supergirl, and I can’t wait to see her in action.
Earlier this month, Alcock was reported to be one of the three frontrunners to play Supergirl, the other two being Locke & Key’s Emilia Jones and The Winchesters’ Meg Donnelly (who voices Supergirl in the Tomorrowverse timeline of animated movies). Then last week, word came in that Alcock and Donnelly both recently screen tested for the role. Now The Wrap has shared that Alcock, who played the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon (which can be streamed with a Max subscription) will be the next actress to play Supergirl on the silver screen.
