TV's Supergirl Excited For Milly Alcock's ‘Supergirl' Movie
The CW's Supergirl, Melissa Benoist — who currently stars in Netflix's hit series The Waterfront — pledges her support for the upcoming Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock.
Benoist, who plays Bree Buckley in The Waterfront, starred as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, aka Kara Danvers, on The CW from 2015 to 2021. In addition, Benoist played Supergirl in several crossover appearances in The CW's DC Arrowverse of superhero shows, including Arrow, DC Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash and Batwoman.
Alcock makes a cameo appearance in James Gunn's Superman near the conclusion of the superhero film and is set to star in the Supergirl solo movie — formerly titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow — which is set for a June 26, 2026, release.
During an interview with Watch Mojo prior to the release of Superman in theaters, Benoist was asked whether she would support Alcock in her future endeavors as Supergirl.
"Yeah, of course I'll support! I mean, once you've donned the glyph, you're part of a very small club of people that has worn capes,' Benoist told Watch Mojo. 'So, it always feels special when any iteration of the story and the canon comes to life. So, I will be there to support. Is Milly Alcock supposed to be in this James Gunn [movie]
James Gunn Describes Milly Alcock's Supergirl As A 'Total Mess'
Supergirl will be directed by I, Tonya filmmaker Craig Gillespie, while James Gunn and Peter Safran — who are co-CEOs of Warner Bros. DC Studios — are two of the film's producers. Gunn, of course, is the writer and director of Superman, which opened in theaters.
Gunn recently discussed Milly Alcock's version of Supergirl with Screen Rant, noting that she's not nearly as well-adjusted a character as David Corenswet's Superman/Clark Kent is in Superman.
"She's a total mess. I mean, I think as we learn, she's had a completely different background from Superman. A much more difficult background,' Gunn told Screen Rant. 'He's had this wonderful upbringing by these two parents that loved him and were very healthy. And her background was much different than that."
Also starring Rachel Brosnhan and Nicholas Hoult, Superman is now in theaters, while Supergirl is set for a June 26, 2026, release. All eight episodes of Melissa Benoist's new series The Waterfront is streaming on Netflix.

The most unforgettable fashion at WNBA All-Star Weekend, from ‘orange carpet' to tunnel walks
INDIANAPOLIS — The narrative arc of the WNBA's explosive growth can be traced in many ways: a positive slope of rising ticket sales and prices, merchandise booms, brand partnerships, sportsbook markets, salary conversations and expansion teams. The league's cultural impact, though, can be felt perhaps nowhere more tangibly than along the seam where fashion and sports fuse. WNBA players are style icons in their own right, with rising stars like Angel Reese gracing the covers of fashion magazines and inking million-dollar partnership deals with brands like Nike, Puma, Adidas, New Balance, Fenty or Coach. 'In a tunnel walk, even though we're going to a game, it is work,' Dallas Wings guard DiJonai Carrington told The Athletic at AT&T All-Star Access, one of her brand events. 'When you have your meeting with your CEO and your bosses, you want to look your best. And that's how I feel every game day is: These are the CEOs, the bosses. This might be the only thing that somebody sees from you is you walking in through the tunnel, and that might be the way that you get on their radar for a deal.' Last year in particular, the fashion world sat up and took notice of the W, acknowledging that some of the most culturally consequential styles were arriving on the nontraditional runways of tunnel walks and WNBA-inspired shoes and streetwear. Reese, A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu aren't just WNBA All-Stars this year; they're style icons. These stars aren't just dressing to play; they're dressing to build their brands, extend their influence, connect with fans and raise the profile of their league. And there's perhaps no bigger moment this year to experience the tidal wave of style in the league than WNBA All-Star Weekend, where the league's 'Orange Carpet' on Thursday night and the tunnel walk on Saturday before the big game flowed with couture, confidence and — there's no clearer way to say it — cool. Here are our most unforgettable looks from Thursday's carpet and Saturday's tunnel. Angel Reese: 'Fashion is something I do' Reese is perhaps the first name on people's lips when it comes to the WNBA and fashion, and she has adroitly leveraged her taste into treasure. Reese is partnered with Reebok, McDonald's and Reese's. (At the tunnel walk, sponsored by Nike, Reese positioned herself to hide the giant swoosh behind her.) On the orange carpet, the former Vogue cover star cast a gravitational pull as cameras leaned in to get a shot of her ankle-length leopard-print coat-dress and Gianvito Rossi strappy heels in a look that she said was inspired by 'old money-new money' blends and Hollywood. 'It's not what you wear; it's how you wear it. My confidence is through the roof,' Reese said. 'That's what I want to encourage for young women, especially tall women. It's not easy being a tall woman. It took a long time when I was younger to be myself, but I'm her.' Her style icons? Rihanna and Teyana Taylor. A'ja Wilson: Body tea The three-time WNBA MVP and Las Vegas Aces star debuted a signature shoe with Nike earlier this year that sold out in less than five minutes. The superstar has had partnerships with brands like LEGO, Gatorade and AT&T. She was channeling Greek goddess-core drama on the orange carpet with a draped Di Petsa-designed maroon sleeveless gown and gold Saint Laurent earrings styled by Casey Billingsley. The dress was cut to reveal her leg up to the hip — for a very specific reason. 'I see a lot of people may see my leg in a sleeve,' Wilson told The Athletic. 'So now I started to switch it up this year and take my leg out of the sleeve.' She switched it up for her tunnel walk, wearing a motorsports-inspired fit, with a loose jersey top and black, white and red knee-high heeled leather boots. But the look was still giving … leg. Sabrina Ionescu: Just do it (wear a swoosh) Ionescu stepped out on the orange carpet in a custom Nike dress and tights the night before clinching the 3-point contest. Ionescu and Paige Bueckers were styled by celebrity designer Brittany Hampton. Sabrina's shoes and handbag were Jimmy Choo. Her tunnel fit was also Nike, in a tenniscore monochrome ensemble emblazoned with another sparkling swoosh. Paige Bueckers: Not a fashion rookie Bueckers is a massive favorite in the betting markets to win rookie of the year, but hitting fashion buckets is not new territory for the Dallas Wings star. The rookie was named the NIL Store's top-earning female athlete in 2024 and has partnered with brands like Nike, Verizon, Bose, CeraVe and Gatorade. Bueckers hit the orange carpet in a Marni sleeveless sweater top and pants with big, grabby graphics and colors. Her stylist, Hampton, paired the set with Prada shoes and VAVA sunglasses. Bueckers wore a check-print oversized corduroy-style button-down jacket and pants set with black loafers. Breanna Stewart: Power (nap) suit The New York Liberty star is no stranger to brand partnerships, having signed a signature shoe deal with Puma and serving as a brand ambassador for the Unrivaled league, which she co-founded with Napheesa Collier. 'Stewie' wore a silky, oversized double-breasted black Simkhai suit on the orange carpet that looked as comfy as a set of pajamas. She paired it with Prada eyewear and Marc Nolan shoes. 'I just want to be comfortable but look great,' Stewart said. Napheesa Collier: MVP Napheesa Collier is one of the league's most influential figures right now. She is the co-founder of Unrivaled, a key voice on players' current contract negotiations as a member of the Women's National Basketball Players Association executive committee — oh, and she's a huge favorite to win league MVP this year. So you could say she's good at the game. Collier clearly understood the leadership assignment in fashion this week, too. On the orange carpet, she stepped out in a jaw-dropping ensemble of sheer black lace that showed off her physique with long sheer pants under a cropped top. In an elite show of 'slideshow dressing,' where ensembles coordinate over various events, she wore a sheer black top over a black bra, menswear-inspired shorts and heels. Skylar Diggins: Multifaceted mom The Athletic asked players on the carpet to name their WNBA style icon. The most frequent responses were Skylar Diggins and Sydney Colson. On the orange carpet, Diggins wore a Cucculelli Shaheen jet-black jacket with intricate beaded embroidery and a long lace train with Nickho Rey jewelry. She followed it up with another monochrome workwear-inspired ensemble in the tunnel. (For the uninitiated, monochrome is one of the best ways in fashion to make sure you stand out in a crowd.) The light-colored trench coat and slacks were embellished with dripping pearls. Underneath, the most traditional workwear staple: a button-down. 'If I had to describe my style in three words, it'd be: What I like,' Diggins said. 'I got two little ones, so I'm always moving around. I love silhouettes, textures, layering. And then I wanted to be shiny. It's like levels to it, you know?' Nneka Ogwumike: Madam President The Seattle Storm forward and president of the WNBPA wears her confident leadership in the way she styles herself, too. 'My style is like my music, it's like my food,' Ogwumike said. 'I choose based off of what I feel like eating, what I feel like listening to, what I feel like consuming when it comes to shows, movies, reading books and podcasts. That's how I feel with my style. I'm very comfortable in my body. I love my body, and I just try my best to be versatile in how I wear my things.' She wore a bright print dress on the orange carpet that mirrored many traditional Nigerian styles and then mixed it up with animal-print patterns in the tunnel. Rae Burrell: Thrift queen! The Los Angeles Sparks' Burrell brought a serrated take on Hollywood glam in a shiny maroon trench with a faux fur collar and cuffs. A perfectly matching leather imitation bralette and woven print slacks completed the look with white heels. The real scene-stealer? Thrifting. 'I actually thrifted these pants a few years ago,' Burrell said. 'I put it on with the coat, and I was like, 'Oh, perfect.'' Sydney Colson: Standup style Colson is a style icon to her peers and a comedy icon on the internet. 'The Syd + TP Show' with Colson and Theresa Plaisance is a buddy comedy with hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. Colson performed a standup comedy act during the WNBA All-Star events. She was also one of the most-mentioned style icons by her peers on the orange carpet. Colson wore a leather ensemble over a green snakeskin zip-up and white collared shirt, and she kept everyone on the orange carpet laughing through a long night. Rhyne Howard: Fire suit The Atlanta Dream guard wore a loose leather black suit with an outline of scarlet flames curling up the sides. It was somewhat reminiscent of a race car driver's fire suit, just oversized. Howard is an outspoken LEGO fan and has TikToks of unboxing LEGO Speed Champions series cars. WNBA celebrity stylist Golden put the look together. 'The piece is one-of-one,' Howard said, 'straight off the runway. It's really comfortable, and you're not gonna see this from anybody else, I can comfortably say.' Alyssa Thomas: Trash-talk, smooth walk Thomas isn't just a forward for the Phoenix Mercury; she was also voted the league's best trash-talker in The Athletic's anonymous player poll. But when it comes to fashion? Smooth is the name of the game. 'I like smooth,' Thomas said. 'Old-school smooth.' She wore a gray wool menswear suit with matching sneakers, her hair pulled back and a set of orange-lensed frames. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Sarah Michelle Gellar reacts to Jennifer Love Hewitt feud rumors after ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' premiere
Sarah Michelle Gellar is slaying the rumors once and for all. The actress, 48, shut down speculation about a possible feud with her 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt after the pair didn't pose together for pictures on the red carpet of the sequel's premiere on Monday. 'For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after-party,' Gellar commented on Instagram Wednesday. The 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star added, 'If you have ever been to one of these, it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.' Gellar played Helen Shivers, the beauty queen who was murdered in the original movie, while Hewitt, 46, portrayed Julie James in the 1997 movie and the 2025 version. Ryan Phillippe played Barry William Cox, who was also murdered the first time around. Gellar's husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., 49, reprised his role as Ray Bronson in the sequel. While on the carpet, Gellar posed for pictures with her partner of 23 years. She also took photos with the slasher's new star, Madelyn Cline, the film's director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and her former 'Buffy' co-star, Seth Green. 'What a night!!! Still can't believe …… years later (no need to date myself) I got to walk the red carpet at another premiere of @ikwydlsmovie,' Gellar captioned her original Instagram post. 'Still starring the most handsome man I know @realfreddieprinze, but this time directed by my best friend @jennkaytin and written by Jenn and @samlansky I love this movie sooooo much and this cast!! Now for the important thank you's @justinemarjan @kmannmakeup @jamielevin_ @taraswennen @oscardelarenta @fernandogarciam1205 @margosiegelpr @lesilla @effyjewelry @guitam_jewelry @lateliernawbar @selimmouzannar for this look I'll never forget.' Gellar and Prinze Jr. first met on the set of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' but didn't start dating until 2000. In October 1997, the pair walked the carpet for the original horror movie separately at the GCC Galaxy Theatre in Hollywood, Calif. Gellar, Prinze Jr. and Hewitt all posed for pictures together, as well. 'History repeating itself! Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. at the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER premiere in 1997 and again in 2025,' influencer Evan Ross Katz wrote on Instagram beneath a side-by-side shot from both carpets. The 1997 Kevin Williamson-written film followed a group of four friends who accidentally kill a man. One year later, they're stalked by a hook-wielding killer. In 1998, the follow-up film, 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,' was released. According to Sony Pictures, the 2025 movie follows five friends who 'inadvertently cause a deadly car accident' before they 'cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences.' Meanwhile, 'a year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer … and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.' This time around, Prinze Jr. and Hewitt nabbed photographs with the rest of the cast, including Cline, 27, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Chase Sui Wonders. However, this isn't the first time Gellar has shut down rumors of an apparent feud between herself and Hewitt. In December, the 'Ringer' alum was asked whether or not the 'Ghost Whisperer' actress would return for the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel. 'I have nothing to do with that,' Gellar responded before walking away from the interviewer. The internet buzzed with theories that her snappy response signified bad blood between the actresses. Gellar clarified the situation on her Instagram Stories shortly after. 'Aspiring actors please note: This 'deer in the headlights' reaction is perfect for when you are excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what NDA means once this month,' she wrote beneath a photo from the film's set. Gellar had previously leaked an on-set photo of Prinze Jr. shooting in Australia on Thanksgiving. Hewitt also caught wind of the online chatter. 'I just heard that there's this whole thing where they think that Sarah and I were fighting or something. There's all these things out there,' she said on Tommy DiDario's 'I've Never Said This Before' podcast. 'I've really enjoyed going and trying to read the stuff now and be like, 'What are people saying about when we did the movie before, now, all of that stuff?'' Hewitt continued. 'Somebody the other day was like, 'Yeah, I think Julie made sure that she was killed because girl actresses don't like to work with girl actresses.' I was like, 'What are you talking about?'' 'I was 18,' the 'Party of Five' alum explained. 'They were not taking script notes from me guys. Like what are you talking about?' Hewitt also confirmed that the entire cast got along great on set in the '90s. 'All of us were in that experience together, kind of figuring it all out and everything,' she recalled. 'I root for her and Freddie and think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years and have kids. It's adorable. So yeah it's been really funny to see all this stuff that people think.' Prinze Jr. and Hewitt had a great working relationship this time around as well. 'Whatever a high school union feels like, that's what it felt like,' the actor told People earlier this month. 'You have no idea what's changed, what's the same. You're excited to show what you think you're better at. You hope they notice it. It was all those things.' Due to the tight filming schedule, 'there just had to be trust that each of us cared enough to put the work in,' Prinze Jr. continued. 'I didn't have any reason not to trust her. I know how much this character means to her. She puts everything into this girl and always has since the first movie.' Solve the daily Crossword

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' review: A funny stab at the lousy original
movie review I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Running time: 111 minutes. Rated R (bloody horror violence, language throughout, some sexual content and brief drug use). In theaters. Horror movie characters never learn from past mistakes. Running away from the killer, teen girls will always, always sprint up the stairs and into an inescapable bedroom. They know no other path. But, outside the screen, filmmakers occasionally do make life-saving course corrections. That's the most pleasant surprise of the sorta sequel to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (inasmuch as a reboot about a checklist of college kids getting impaled can be pleasant or surprising): It's a lot better than the 1997 version, if equally as stupid. 'Nostalgia is overrated,' says Jennifer Love Hewitt's returning Julie James, taking her own hook to all the zombified millennials and Gen Xers in the audience who unconditionally love the flawed original. The awful '90s movie was released in the wake of 'Scream' blowing up the genre a year earlier. Yet when it arrived, it was just another shrieks-and-shrugs slasher flick and went off a cliff in more ways than one. Yes, it had Hewitt, but it had no wit. The Fisherman wasn't remotely scary. The characters were interchangeable. The whodunit ending featured some guy we hadn't even met. The enduring image is crabs in a trunk! When other critics prattle on about so-called 'legacy' sequels, as if 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' is some sort of vaunted Everest to climb, I laugh and laugh and laugh some more. The improved refresh, which also stars Freddie Prinze Jr. alongside the new young cast, is very funny and dry. The film is self-aware, but not in the obnoxious way the recent 'Scream' movies have been. And it's cognizant of the franchise's many, many faults. When one imperiled character suggests the group just 'f–k off to the Bahamas,' Prinze Jr.'s grizzled Ray shoots back, 'For reasons I won't get into, I wouldn't do that.' The kills are much more gruesome and the shadowy Fisherman is actually freaky. 'I Know' kept me interested, even if it also made me braindead. Make no mistake, this is a dumb movie. One woman loses two fiancés and is back to wisecracking a scene later. The flick is dependent on obvious jump-scares and retro throwbacks. But it's also a nice break from all the self-important horror movies out there with Oscar aspirations. The key word here is 'summer.' The waters off the shore of Southport, North Carolina, may be rocky, but one thing that's not rocking the boat is the familiar story. At the start, we're practically in 'Groundhog Day,' only it's the Fourth of July. A group of five well-heeled, well-lubricated friends drive up to a cliffside road to watch the fireworks. Rather than a hit-and-run, however, this time another car swerves off the road after almost slamming into Teddy (Tyriq Withers), a drunk dummy standing in the middle of the street. The driver plummets to their likely death. Teddy rings his powerful dad to fix the mess, Murdaugh murders style, and the group agrees to never speak of the incident again. One year later, at her engagement party, airhead Danica (Madelyn Cline) gets an ominous letter among her presents: 'I know what you did last summer.' Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's film then hitches onto the latest fad — the original scream queen, hardened and battle ready, goes once more unto the breach. Think Jamie Lee Curtis in the 'Halloween' reboot or Neve Campbell in the 2022 'Scream.' Julie, now a traumatized psychology professor, reluctantly gets roped in. Her young prototype is Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), an untethered free spirit with issues. She flirts with innocent Milo (Jonah Hauer-King) and is trailed by the suspicious Tyler (Gabbriette Bechtel), the host of the murder podcast 'Live, Laugh, Slaughter.' Most enticing is Stevie, a townie who works at the local bar, played by fresh-from-Broadway Sarah Pidgeon. Come to think of it, Pidgeon is the human embodiment of the 1990s. Somebody brutally dies, and then the self-absorbed, unlikable, helpless survivors have no solution but to throw a bath bomb in the tub and hook up. You see? Mocking Gen Z is the great American pastime. After a completely ridiculous ending — still leagues better than the first movie's — a post-credits sequence suggests that a sequel could be in the cards. But, honestly, by now the stationary stores are out of paper. The Sharpies runneth dry. Find me someone who doesn't know what they did last summer. We all remember how well a follow-up worked for this series the last two times. I say: One and done, then give 'em the hook. Solve the daily Crossword
