Supergirl Star Hasn’t Seen 3 Most Popular Female Superhero Movies

Supergirl star Milly Alcock recently admitted that she hasn’t seen other big female-led superhero movies to familiarize herself with the genre. She also spoke about her character’s “journey” throughout the film and her relationship with her iconic suit.

Milly Alcock hasn’t seen Wonder Woman and two other superhero movies

Variety recently held an in-depth interview with the Australian actress and brought up the fact that she had not seen the Marvel films Black Widow and Captain Marvel, nor had she seen Gal Gadot’s hit Wonder Woman film from 2017. Alcock admitted that not doing the research was “probably not great,” adding, “I should just lie!”

During the interview, Milly Alcock declined to reveal the point in the film where Supergirl dons her iconic suit. However, she teased the capacity of its appearance, saying it differed from what fans thought. “I don’t know if I can tell you! It’s DC — I’m scared,” she shared. “But I don’t wear it as much as people will think. It’s a journey.”

She also touched upon Supergirl’s dynamic with Ruthye Marye Knoll, played by Eve Ridley, in the movie. “Through helping save this young girl and deal with her trauma from losing her entire family, there’s a kinship there,” Alcock explained.

She added that this relationship makes Kara Zor-El realize the true meaning of being Supergirl, saying that it “has nothing to do with her and has to do with everybody else around her.” The House of the Dragon star continued,  “She needs to put her own feelings aside to help others, and through that she can save herself. So that’s what the suit is for her.”

Supergirl flies into theaters on June 26, 2026. Craig Gillespie directed the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira. Meanwhile, James Gunn and Peter Safran serve as producers. The movie’s story is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s eight-issue comic miniseries, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
