Supergirl star Milly Alcock says the new DC Studios comic book movie humanises its hero.
The Australian actor, who takes on the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El, joined cast members Jason Momoa, Eve Ridley and Matthias Schoenaerts at a UK sneak peek fan event in London on Thursday, teasing an unexpected turn on the big screen.
“I would describe her as a very reluctant hero. I think she’s a bit of a rebel, but she’s got a lot of humility, and I think audiences are going to be very surprised,” Alcock said.
Landing the lead role in the summer blockbuster took the House of the Dragon and Sirens actor, 26, on an empowering and emotion-filled journey.
“It’s my first film, so it’s kind of been the biggest thing ever in the world. And I feel like now I can do anything because I’ve done something like this,” Alcock said. “It was like every feeling at once, the highest highs and the lowest lows. It’s a beautiful sea of bliss and self-doubt.”
