And then there were two. After weeks of speculation over screen tests, the role of Supergirl has come down to its final stage.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Milly Alcock and Meg Donnelly tested for the part in front of DC Studios co-CEOs Peter Safran andJames Gunn.
Alcock is best known for her turn as a younger Rhaenyra in Game of Thrones spin-offHouse of the Dragon. Donnelly, meanwhile, has appeared inDisneyChannel’s Zombies trilogy and CW’s The Winchester.
Intriguingly, Donnelly has also voiced Supergirl in multiple DC animated projects – including this year’s Crisis on Infinite Earths three-parter.
There, Supes will be played by David Corenswet, whilea “feisty” Lois Laneis portrayed by Rachel Brosnahan. They – and the new Supergirl actor – will be joined by Nicholas Hoult, Isabela Merced, Edi Gagethi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Skyler Gisondo, and Sean Gunn.
