Everything We Know About Milly Alcock’s Supergirl In James Gunn’s DC Universe

While Alcock will headline Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Kara will reportedly show up in Superman: Legacy as her first DC Universe project. Alcock had done her screen test in Atlanta, which is where Superman: Legacy will be filming, and, assumingly, she would have tested with Corenswet, as Kara and Clark are cousins. While Gunn stated that he never said she was in Superman: Legacy, he has yet to flat-out deny she is in the movie.

When Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was announced in 2023, Gunn described this Kara as “a much harsher and more f—ked up Supergirl than we’ve been used to this far.” While Clark got sent to Earth and was adopted by the Kents, “she was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and lived there for the first 14 years of her life among a horrible situation where she watched everybody around her die.” Hopefully, news on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will emerge sooner rather than later, especially if Alcock is portraying her in Superman: Legacy this year.
