After Milly Alcock crashed James Gunn‘s new DCU in a surprise appearance as Supergirl, he recently praised her performance as the Man of Steel’s cousin Kara Zor-El.
The DC Studios boss recently gave an update on Alcock’s solo outing in the upcoming Supergirl movie, while raving about her “stunning” performance after she was introduced at the end of Superman.
“Supergirl, the movie, we’re editing it right now,” revealed Gunn on The Howard Stern Show. “Milly Alcock, who plays Supergirl, might be the best bit of casting I’ve ever done in my entire life. I think she’s absolutely stunning in the movie.”
