Milly Alcock Shines in Supergirl Test Screenings Amid Villain Concerns

LOS ANGELES, CA — Early test screenings for the upcoming film Supergirl have generated excitement among comic book fans, especially for Milly Alcock‘s performance as Kara Zor-El. The screenings, held earlier this month, received largely positive feedback but pointed out potential weaknesses in the film’s villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Milly Alcock’s portrayal has been singled out as a highlight, drawing comparisons to beloved performances from Marvel stars like Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. According to various reports, her performance may define a new chapter for the DC Universe (DCU), which has faced challenges in recent years.

The screenings revealed that viewers appreciated Alcock’s depth and charisma as Supergirl. “Milly Alcock is fantastic, you can build a whole universe around her,” said entertainment insider ViewerAnon, emphasizing the actress’s skill and potential to revitalize the character.

While Alcock’s performance shined brightly, the portrayal of her adversary, Krem of the Yellow Hills, fell short of expectations. The villain has been described as underwhelming, a concern that may not be easily remedied due to the actor’s recent legal troubles, which may limit his availability for reshoots.

Director Craig Gillespie and his team continue to work on the film, which is drawing inspiration from the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. This adaptation seeks to present Supergirl with a backstory marked by loss and resilience, a departure from the optimism often associated with Superman.

Supergirl is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, with anticipation building for Alcock’s debut in this role. As the DC Universe evolves, fans hope that both Alcock’s performance and the film’s storyline will help set a new standard for cinematic superhero narratives.
