Milly Alcock, known for her role in HBO's House of the Dragon, is set to star as the lead in DC Studios' upcoming Supergirl film. In a recent interview with Variety, she addressed the online criticism she has received, noting that much of it comes from anonymous accounts lacking real identities. Alcock stated, 'If you're pissing the right kind of people off, you're doing OK,' highlighting her decision to focus on constructive feedback rather than negativity. She pointed out that many critics operate under 'burner accounts' with generic profiles, which she finds amusing. Alcock also discussed the emotional investment audiences have in fictional franchises, suggesting it can create unhealthy dependencies on public figures who may ultimately disappoint. This dynamic, she argues, contributes to the scrutiny female actors face in high-profile roles. Alcock's portrayal of Supergirl is part of a new direction for DC Studios under James Gunn and Peter Safran, with the film scheduled to hit theaters in June.
