House of the Dragon star is a finalist for DCU’s Supergirl

With the rumor mill churning over who is actually up for the role, one House of the Dragon star has emerged as a finalist for DCU’s Supergirl.

While it’s Marvel that’s most publicly been on the chopping block for having a rough ride in the superhero sub-genre, DC really isn’t that far behind.

Closing out the DCEU at the end of 2023, Aquaman 2 didn’t hit the heights of success that the studio would have wanted, with flicks like The Flash also flopping after multiple controversies.

However, DC looks to turn over a new leaf with the return of the DCU, with one House of the Dragon star officially a finalist to play Supergirl.

Milly Alcock and Meg Donnelly are the pair being considered for Supergirl in the DCU, with Cailee Spaeny and Emilia Jones previously reported to be involved.

Australian actress Milly Alcock debuted in House of the Dragon since 2022, playing a younger version of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Similarly, Meg Donnelly is best known for appearing in the Zombies movies.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, DC’s Supergirl is set to first appear in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy before beelining into a solo movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Both actors have tested in Atlanta, with DC Studios bosses Gunn and Peter Safran present.
