DC fans are convinced that Supergirl actress Milly Alcock was cast after her viral appearance at the 2023 Golden Globes – and while it may not be exactly the truth, we can definitely see it.
Kara Zor-El cameos at the end of James Gunn's Superman when she rocks up at the Fortress of Solitude after an intergalactic bender to pick up her dog, Krypto, who her cousin Kal-El has been dogsitting (and promptly leaves to head to another party).
A clip of Alcock went viral after the Golden Globes in 2023 after she was very giggly – and most likely quite tipsy – on stage while accepting the award for Best Drama Series with her House of the Dragon co-star Emma D'Arcy. Alcock and D'Arcy played two versions of Rhaenyra Targaryen in the Game of Thrones prequel, and it was her performance in the HBO show that actually convinced Gunn to cast her in Supergirl.
"Well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics, I was watching House of the Dragon & thought she might have the edge, grace, and authenticity we needed for the DCU’s Supergirl," Gunn shared after her casting was announced in January 2024. "And now here we are. Life is wild sometimes."
