DC Studios has decided on a new Supergirl for the new universe based on DC Comics. Studio bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran have chosen Australian actress Millie Allcock, known for her role as young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO’s “House of the Dragon” spin-off series, “Game of Thrones”, to play Kara Zor-El.
Millie is a fantastically talented young actress and I’m incredibly excited for her to be a part of the DCU. Yes, I first saw her in “House of the Dragon,” but during auditions and screen tests for the role of Supergirl, I was blown away by her acting range. She embodies the character as comic book writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely and screenwriter Ana Nogueira envisioned him.
Gunn and Safran also added that Millie Olcock will not be the Supergirl that audiences are used to. She will be contrasted with her cousin Superman.
We’ll see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from infancy, and Supergirl, who grew up on a rock, a shard of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in horrible ways for the first 14 years of her life before being brought to Earth.
