And we didn’t have to wait long to find out that the duel had turned in favor of the former.

The third Supergirl in the history of cinema

However, you might think that Meg Donnelly was just starting out, having voiced the character in the animated films Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths.

But James Gunn and Peter Safran ultimately chose the Australian actress, who appeared as young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of House of the Dragon, a Game of Thrones spin-off.

She thus becomes the third Supergirl in film history, following Helen Slater in 1984 (then seen in the Melissa Benoist-led series) and Sacha Kalle, whose run ended with the failure of The Flash, in which she made her first (and last) appearance.

Misery that Millie Alcock shouldn’t have to go through. Because before she headlines Woman of Tomorrow , which doesn’t have a release date yet, she’ll be making her debut alongside her cousin Superman in Legacy , which hits our theaters on July 9th.
