Superman: Legacy the writer and director is getting very close to casting Supergirl in the DCU. According to THR, the search was narrowed down to two actresses: Milly Alcockwho played Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the series game of Thrones spin off House of the DragonAND Meg Donnellywho starred in the hit Disney Channel musical series Zombie and who also voices Supergirl in the DC animated films. Both actresses auditioned in Atlanta.
Emilia Jones (Locke and key) was previously nominated for the role, but appears to have been eliminated. I’m not particularly interested in any of the actresses, but Gunn obviously sees something in them. I think there’s someone better out there for the role, but Gunn tends to know what he’s doing when it comes to casting.
It has been explained that Supergirl will likely make her debut in the DCU Superman: Legacyor maybe even another DC movie before he gets his own solo movie, Supergirl: the woman of tomorrow.
Gunn previously said of the Supergirl: the woman of tomorrow project, “We see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was a child, versus Supergirl who grew up on a rock, a fragment of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed.” in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, then coming to Earth when she was a little girl. She’s much more hardcore; She’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”
Superman: Legacy currently stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabela Mercede as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mr. Terrific, Skyler Gisondo like Jimmy Olsen, and María Gabriela de Faría in the role of Angela Spica, aka The Engineer. Sara Sampaiothe Portuguese Victoria’s Secret model, was also cast as Eve Teschmacher, the assistant and sometimes lover of the scheming villain Lex Luthor.
Superman: Legacy will tell 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 cinematic portion of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. The theatrical release is scheduled for July 11, 2025.
