Having played the role of young Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO바카라™s 'House of the Dragon,' breakout star Milly Alcock is gearing up to embrace the role of Supergirl in the upcoming DC Universe film. 

The 23-year-old actress is poised to embody the character of Kara Zor-El in the highly awaited movie titled 'Superman: Legacy.' On Tuesday morning, the director of the most-awaited film, James Gunn, confirmed the news via his Instagram handle with a screenshot of an article which stated that Alcock would be cast in the film. To that, he captioned, 바카라œThis is accurate. Milly is a fantastically talented young actor, and I바카라™m incredibly excited about her being a part of the DCU."

Going on to praise the Australian actress, he said, "Yes, I first became aware of her in House of the Dragon but I was blown away by her varied auditions and screen tests for Supergirl. She embodies Kara as envisioned by Tom King, Bilquis Evely and Ana Nogueira.바카라

Putting Gunn바카라™s post on her Instagram stories, Milly wrote, "Ahhh Thank You."

This news comes just a month before the film is set to begin production in March in Georgia.

Alcock joins the cast that already includes David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. It was previously reported that the cast will also include Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl. 

After her role in 'Superman: Legacy', Milly is slated to play the titular role in her standalone movie, titled 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow'. No director for 바카라˜Supergirl바카라™ has been announced yet but it will be based on Tom King바카라™s 2022 comic book series, which Bilquis Evely illustrated. 

According to Gunn, the new Supergirl will be 'very different'. When the film had been announced, Gunn had said, 바카라œIn our series, we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl.바카라

He added that, "She바카라™s much more hardcore. She바카라™s not exactly the Supergirl we바카라™re used to seeing,바카라 hinting at a darker undertone for this unique portrayal of Alcock바카라™s role in the upcoming film.

The film is slated for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
