The actor, known for 'House of the Dragon,' is expected to appear in a DC Studios project before her solo movie.

Warner Bros.‘ Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is taking flight with House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. She will star in the feature as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.

Alcock screen-tested for DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran last week, along with Meg Donnelly, who was also in contention for the role. The character is expected to appear in a DC Studios project (or two) before her solo adventure, but it’s unclear if that project will be Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, which begins filming this spring, or another DC movie or show. Supergirl is moving like a speeding locomotive and it’s possible the feature could be shooting in the fall, if Warners soon finds a director. Ana Nogueira is penning the script.

Alcock broke out as the younger version of Rhaenyra Targaryen in season one of HBO’s House of the Dragon, a spinoff of Game of Thrones. Now, she enters the comic book realm, with the new feature partially inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely miniseries of the same name.

“Milly is a fantastically talented young actor, and I’m incredibly excited about her being a part of the DCU,” Gunn wrote on social media Monday. “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 added that she embodied the character as envisioned by comic book writer King, comic book artist Evely and screenwriter Nogueira.

Gunn and Safran have said this is not the Supergirl audiences are used to. She will stand in contrast to her hopeful cousin, Superman. As Gunn told reporters in late January 2023: “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth.”

In the comics, Supergirl dates back to Action Comics No. 252. Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, the character is Superman’s cousin from Krypton. Faye Dunaway starred in the 1984 Supergirl film, while Melissa Benoist played the hero on the CW for six seasons from 2015-21. Sasha Calle starred as the character in the film The Flash.

Woman of Tomorrow is part of Chapter 1 in DC’s slate from Gunn and Safran. The slate also includes the Batman feature The Brave and the Bold and a TV series starring Viola Davis as her Suicide Squad character Amanda Waller.

Alcock is repped by CAA, Curtis Brown Group and Goodman Genow.

这位因《龙之家族》而闻名的演员预计将在她的个人电影之前出演DC工作室的项目。

Warner Bros.‘ Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is taking flight with House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. She will star in the feature as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.

好莱坞记者已确认，华纳兄弟的《女超人：明日之女》将由《龙之家族》的主演米莉·阿尔柯克出演。她将在片中饰演超人的表姐卡拉·佐·艾尔。

Alcock screen-tested for DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran last week, along with Meg Donnelly, who was also in contention for the role. The character is expected to appear in a DC Studios project (or two) before her solo adventure, but it’s unclear if that project will be Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, which begins filming this spring, or another DC movie or show. Supergirl is moving like a speeding locomotive and it’s possible the feature could be shooting in the fall, if Warners soon finds a director. Ana Nogueira is penning the script.

上周，阿尔柯克与同样竞争该角色的梅格·唐纳利一起参加了DC工作室老板詹姆斯·古恩和彼得·萨夫兰的试镜。预计这位角色将在她的个人冒险之前出现在DC工作室的一个（或两个）项目中，但目前尚不清楚该项目是否是今年春天开始拍摄的古恩的《超人：传承》，还是另一部DC电影或剧集。《女超人》的进展如同飞速的机车，如果华纳兄弟能尽快找到导演，这部电影可能会在今年秋天开拍。安娜·诺圭拉正在撰写剧本。

Alcock broke out as the younger version of Rhaenyra Targaryen in season one of HBO’s House of the Dragon, a spinoff of Game of Thrones. Now, she enters the comic book realm, with the new feature partially inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely miniseries of the same name.

阿尔柯克在HBO的《权力的游戏》衍生剧《龙之家族》第一季中饰演年轻版的雷妮拉·坦格利安而崭露头角。现在，她进入了漫画领域，这部新片部分灵感来自于汤姆·金和比尔吉斯·艾维利的同名迷你系列。

“Milly is a fantastically talented young actor, and I’m incredibly excited about her being a part of the DCU,” Gunn wrote on social media Monday. “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 added that she embodied the character as envisioned by comic book writer King, comic book artist Evely and screenwriter Nogueira.

“米莉是一位非常有才华的年轻演员，我很高兴她能加入DCU，”古恩周一在社交媒体上写道。“是的，我第一次是在《龙之家族》中认识她的，但她在《女超人》的各种试镜和镜头测试中让我大吃一惊。”他补充说，她体现了漫画作家金、漫画艺术家艾维利和编剧诺圭拉所设想的角色形象。

Gunn and Safran have said this is not the Supergirl audiences are used to. She will stand in contrast to her hopeful cousin, Superman. As Gunn told reporters in late January 2023: “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth.”

古恩和萨夫兰表示，这不是观众所熟悉的女超人。她将与充满希望的表哥超人形成鲜明对比。正如古恩在2023年1月下旬告诉记者的那样：“我们将看到超人（从小被地球上的慈爱父母抚养长大）和女超人（在氪星的一块岩石上长大，目睹了身边的人在她生命的前14年以可怕的方式死去，然后来到地球）之间的区别。”

In the comics, Supergirl dates back to Action Comics No. 252. Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, the character is Superman’s cousin from Krypton. Faye Dunaway starred in the 1984 Supergirl film, while Melissa Benoist played the hero on the CW for six seasons from 2015-21. Sasha Calle starred as the character in the film The Flash.

在漫画中，女超人可追溯到《动作漫画》第252期。这个角色由奥托·宾德和阿尔·普拉斯蒂诺创造，是超人在氪星的表姐。费·唐纳薇主演了1984年的《女超人》电影，而梅利莎·拜诺伊斯特则在2015-21年的六季中扮演了CW的英雄。萨莎·卡莱在电影《闪电侠》中出演了这一角色。

Woman of Tomorrow is part of Chapter 1 in DC’s slate from Gunn and Safran. The slate also includes the Batman feature The Brave and the Bold and a TV series starring Viola Davis as her Suicide Squad character Amanda Waller.

《明日之女》是古恩和萨夫兰制定的DC计划第一章的一部分。该计划还包括蝙蝠侠电影《英勇与无畏》以及由维奥拉·戴维斯饰演其《自杀小队》角色阿曼达·沃勒的电视剧集。

Alcock is repped by CAA, Curtis Brown Group and Goodman Genow.
