Superman: Legacy author and director is getting rather a lot nearer to casting Supergirl in the DCU. According to THR, the search has been narrowed down to two actresses: Milly Alcock, who performed Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen on the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon, and Meg Donnelly, who starred in Disney Channel’s hit musical franchise Zombies and who additionally voices Supergirl in the DC animated motion pictures. Both of the actresses examined in Atlanta.
Emilia Jones (Locke & Key) was beforehand up for the position as effectively, but it surely appears to be like like she’s been knocked out. I’m probably not invested in both of the actresses, however Gunn clearly sees one thing in them. I believe there’s somebody higher on the market for the position, however Gunn tends to know what he’s doing when it comes to casting.
It’s defined that Supergirl will doubtless make her DCU debut in Superman: Legacy, or possibly even one other DC film earlier than she will get her personal solo movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Gunn beforehand mentioned of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow venture, “We see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore; she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”
Superman: Legacy presently stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer. Sara Sampaio, the Portuguese Victoria’s Secret mannequin, has additionally been solid as Eve Teschmacher, the assistant and typically mistress to the scheming villain Lex Luthor.
Superman: Legacy will inform the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
Superman: Legacy will launch the film half of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical launch on July 11, 2025.
