The new DC Universe has found its Supergirl in Australian actor Milly Alcock.
The 23-year-old's breakout role as Rhaenyra Targaryen in "House of the Dragon" impressed audiences worldwide, as well as DC Studios cochairman James Gunn.
Reports on Monday suggested that Alcock had been cast as Superman's Kryptonian cousin for the rebooted DC Universe. And Gunn quickly confirmed Alcock's casting on Instagram soon after.
"Milly is a fantastically talented young actor, and I'm incredibly excited about her being a part of the DCU. 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'," he wrote.
Alcock is expected to appear in an unknown DC project before headlining her own adventure, Variety reported. Her solo film, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," will be based on the 2021 comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.
