"Peter Safran recounted Gunn's initial vision for the character, inspired directly by Alcock's performance. 'He goes, 'you know the young girl from House of the Dragon? The young queen or princess? That's how I picture it, like a young punk rock girl who is just totally badass and tough.'"
"Alcock found her world rapidly expanding. After submitting a self-tape for the secretive Supergirl project, she was summoned for her first-ever screen test. 'I kind of had a feeling, I remember I like got back to my hotel room and I like sat down and I was like, 'Oh, this is gonna, something's gonna happen.'"
"Ten days later, the news arrived not via a phone call, but a text message from Gunn containing an article from the trade publication Deadline: 'Supergirl': New Woman Of Steel Is 'House Of The Dragon's' Milly Alcock.' Her immediate reaction? 'This is crazy, what have I done?'"
Milly Alcock, known for her role in House of the Dragon, was chosen to play Supergirl based on her 'punk rock' energy. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn envisioned Alcock for the role after being inspired by her performance. After submitting a self-tape, Alcock flew to Atlanta for her first screen test. She felt a strong intuition about the opportunity. Ten days later, she received a text from Gunn announcing her casting as Supergirl, leading to her return to filming shortly after.
