Milly Alcock Opens Up About Terrifying SUPERGRIL Screen Test - 'I Thought I Was Going to Vomit' — GeekTyrant
Suited up in red and blue, standing under hot lights, next to another hopeful contender, it's not exactly a relaxing walk in the Fortress of Solitude. In a recent interview with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow star Milly Alcock opened up about the nerve-wracking screen test that landed her the job, and it sounds like it was a pretty intense experience for her. Alcock, who rocketed into the spotlight with House of the Dragon and is currently promoting her new Netflix series Sirens , has mostly stayed tight-lipped about her role as Kara Zor-El. But she finally gave fans a peek behind the curtain, saying: 'During a screen test, you're in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you're all dressed as the character. [The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage. 'For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it's just fear! That's what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear.' Landing the part didn't immediately feel like a triumphant victory either. Alcock said: 'I was kind of in disbelief. I was initially like, 'What have I done?' I then invited all my friends over to the house and we drank champagne.' That blend of anxiety, disbelief, and celebration must've been a wild expericnce. Woman of Tomorrow promises a harder-edged Kara Zor-El, someone who's been through hell before she even sets foot on Earth. James Gunn described her as 'much more hardcore,' contrasting her with her cousin Superman, who had the benefit of a loving Earth upbringing. The movie, based on Tom King's acclaimed 2022 comic, will follow Kara as she takes a cosmic journey with Krypto the Superdog to celebrate her 21st birthday, only to get tangled up with a girl named Ruthye and a brutal revenge mission. The cast includes 3 Body Problem 's Eve Ridley as Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem, and Aquaman 's Jason Momoa as Lobo. Most recently, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham joined the crew as Kara's Kryptonian parents, Zor-El and Alura. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow hits theaters June 26, 2026, and I'm very curious to see what's in store for this DC movie.

Everything Released In The Gap Between ‘Stranger Things' Seasons 4 And 5
Stranger Things Stranger Things season 5 will finally arrive later this year, albeit halfway through 2025 now, we still don't have an exact date. We have now waited over three years between seasons, even as Netflix said that the series was a 'priority' for them following previous strikes. Other big shows with huge waits such as Squid Game and Wednesday, will both be out before it will. Stranger Things season 4 was released on May 27 of 2022. I saw a post that said that the entire series of The Bear has aired between now and then (and season 4 is coming in a month). That got me thinking about what else has happened in the entertainment industry between seasons 4 and 5 in this absurdly long streaming season gap era. Shows: Wednesday, House of the Dragon (both seasons), The Last of Us (both seasons), The Penguin, Shogun, The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power (both seasons), The Bear (all seasons) House of the Dragon Movies: Top Gun Maverick, The Batman, Avatar: The Way of Water, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Jurassic World: Dominion, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3, Barbenheimer The Batman Games: Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarök, Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate 3, Sifu, Immortality, Starfield, Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy Horizon Forbidden West Nine MCU Movies: Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Marvels, Deadpool and Wolverine, Captain America Brave New World, Thunderbolts and imminently, The Fantastic Four. Nine MCU Shows: Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, Loki (season 2), What If…? (season 2), Echo, Agatha All Along, Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart (imminent) She Hulk Four DCEU Movies: Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash and Blue Beetle, and the transfer to the DCU and James Gunn with Superman Eight Star Wars Shows: Andor (seasons 1 and 2), The Mandalorian (season 2), The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, Tales of the Jedi (season 2), The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew (no Star Wars movies, however, with Disney abandoning those for years). You get the idea. We are going to be pushing three and a half years between Stranger Things seasons, which allegedly come out in 2025, but with no confirmed date yet, it might get pushed, and even if not, it may be broken into parts where one of those potentially airing in 2026. At this point, it will almost be a relief to see it end, and Netflix had better issue an hour-long 'previously on' recap video. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Preview The DCU's Supergirl With A Top New Netflix Show
Sirens Netflix You know her from House of the Dragon, James Gunn found her through House of the Dragon, but actress Milly Alcock remains something of an unknown quantity for most viewers. She has been cast as the DCU's Supergirl, who will both appear in this summer's Superman and then be one of the first DC characters to get her own movie immediately, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is already filming. Alcock has appeared in seven total episodes of House of the Dragon playing a young Rhaenyra Targaryen before being replaced by Emma D'Arcy as her older counterpart, reappearing only in a hallucinatory Daemon dream sequence. Alcock starred in a few shows before landing her big HBO break, but now she has her longest, most high-profile part yet outside of HotD. That would be the Netflix series Sirens, which held the service's #1 spot briefly, in which Alcock stars opposite The White Lotus' Meghann Fahy with Kevin Bacon and Julianne Moore also starring. It's five hour-long episodes which feature Alcock as the devoted assistant slash almost-daughter of Julianne Moore's impossibly rich high society figure, obsessed with saving birds and leading what may be a cult. A cult that her sister, played by Fahy, attempts to rescue her from. House of the Dragon HBO It's a more modern role for Alcock compared to House of the Dragon, and she gets an enormous amount of screentime as the co-lead of the series. This is the first time we get a look at her American accent (she is Australian) which she will no doubt be using in her Supergirl movie. I mean, I suppose it's possible she doesn't, but that would be sort of odd. Alcock was as standout in House of the Dragon where James Gunn admitted that was the first time he noticed her, which was likely true of general audiences. From Sirens, I think it's a good preview of showing a different side of Alcock than we saw in her Game of Thrones spin-off. Two sides of the same actress that's about to have one of the highest-profile roles in a brand-new superhero universe. I think that most of the rest of the cast of the upcoming Superman are known quantities from Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane to Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. The one exception I would say here is…Superman himself, David Corenswet, who I would say is probably even less known than Alcock who now has both HotD and a #1 Netflix show under her belt. I can't even point to a singular role of his that is on the same level. The last we saw him was in a supporting part in…Twisters? Again, despite a lot of roles, in the past 10 or so years, he's still pretty unknown. That's about to change. So yeah, I recommend Sirens as a decent drama but also a showcase for Alcock's talents who is great there. We'll see how she fares as Supergirl this summer.

Sirens review — Meghann Fahy's sweary alcoholic lights up this black comedy
How far do you go to please your boss at work? Buy them a cup of coffee, have their back in a meeting. Perhaps. You are, however, unlikely to mist their underwear with lavender or happily accept their used chewing gum in your mouth when they tell you your breath is six out of ten. But that's because your boss isn't giving you the 'perfect' lifestyle you dreamt of. Nor might their cultlike charisma have you under a complete spell. • House of Dragon's Milly Alcock: 'Matt Smith said he felt like a predator' That's the situation between fresh-faced twentysomething Simone (House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock) and the socialite Michaela, played by Julianne Moore in Netflix's swift-paced, largely entertaining miniseries Sirens (just
