Ex-Supergirl Shares Wisdom with New Face of the DC Universe
Melissa Benoist, who portrayed the famous character of Supergirl for a good five years (2016-2021), has opened the treasure chest of her experiences. She is passing the baton to her successor, Milly Alcock, in an interesting transition of roles. Alcock is all set to take on the iconic Supergirl shoes, keeping fans thrilled about how the switch will pan out.
Nitty-Gritty of Benoist’s Supergirl Journey
Recently, Benoist had a fun talk on Collider Ladies Night with host Perri Nemiroff. She talked in depth about her time as Supergirl and her journey in the series. The main force driving her performance was undoubtedly the audience. She pointed out the young women watching the series as that force.
The prominence of Supergirl as a character was never lost on Benoist. She emphasized not losing focus on the audience while working on such a significant project.
Her advice to Alcock, and all future Supergirls for that matter, is worth pondering over. “Focus on who you’re performing for. Working for an audience, especially young girls, can always ease the pressure”, she said. This advice is secret to the real strength of the super as it can inspire and empower a whole new generation.
Ready, Set, Fly – Here Comes the New Supergirl!
But what’s next? Look up in the sky! It’s a bird. No, it’s a plane. Nope. It’s Milly Alcock, the next Supergirl! Alcock is gearing up for her role in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The project director is Craig Gillespie, who you might remember from the movie Cruella. The fans’ excitement is mushrooming at an exponential rate.
The script, penned by Ana Nogueira, draws inspiration from Tom King’s comic series of the same title. The teaser by co-chief of DC Studios, James Gunn, has hinted at a novel storyline for the new installment. Gunn contrasted Supergirl’s tough life on Krypton to Superman’s nurtured time on Earth, suggesting a “more intense” portrayal of Supergirl with Alcock.
The film will likely start production later this year and is scheduled for a grand release in June 2026.
What Else is Brewing in the DC Universe?
But wait! There’s more. Gunn’s Superman film will reach theaters before our new Supergirl, precisely on July 11, 2025. This gives us a broader landscape of superheroes with a fresh take on the characters we already love. To stir things up a bit, there’s gossip that our upcoming Supergirl may show up in a DC project before her solo film!
In conclusion, the tension is pretty high as Milly Alcock prepares to step into Supergirl’s boots. Fans are eager to see how she will incorporate Benoist’s precious advice into her performance. Stay tuned on the edge of your seats for the next chapter of Supergirl’s saga in the vast DC Universe.
And, as a side note to future superheroes – keep your audience in your heart. It’s the best way to scale great heights!
