Overview
- DC released a new image that shows Alcock’s Supergirl squaring off with a redesigned, armored Krem of the Yellow Hills, a look that has drawn mixed reactions.
- Peter Safran said James Gunn conceived Supergirl as a "punk rock" foil to Superman, which led them to target Alcock after her House of the Dragon breakout.
- Alcock said she learned she had won the role when Gunn texted her a Deadline link naming her as Supergirl, and she then returned to shoot a brief Superman cameo.
- Safran said her roughly 12-second appearance in Superman prompted audiences to ask for more of the character, reinforcing DC’s decision to fast-track the standalone film.
- Directed by Craig Gillespie, the movie presents a tougher Kara Zor-El and continues an aggressive marketing push, with Alcock describing a whirlwind promo schedule ahead of the June 26 theatrical debut.
