“Everybody had tears in their eyes,” he told Variety. “She wears her heart on her sleeve; she brings so much emotion to the role. We all looked at each other and said, ‘This is absolutely perfect. She’s exactly what we want.’”
Screenwriter Ana Nogueira added, “We had really good actresses come in — like, people that gave great auditions. It’s not even really about that? It’s just like, Milly’s the girl.”
Alcock first shot to fame playing the younger version of Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of HBO’s House of the Dragon, a spinoff of Game of Thrones, before the character was aged up and later played by Emma D’Arcy.
In a March interview with Vanity Fair, Alcock reflected on Game of Thrones’ intense fandom and whether the show had prepared her for the scrutiny she’ll face from comic book fans.

She added of her Supergirl, “She’s not trying to save the world — she’s just trying to save her own. This film is an excellent reminder that the world can be crumbling around you, but you can be the hero of your own story.”
