00:46Gunn took to social media on Monday to confirm the exciting casting news, saying,

00:51Millie is a fantastically talented young actor and I'm incredibly excited about her being a part of

00:56the DCU. Yes, I first became aware of her in House of the Dragon, but I was blown away by her varied

01:02auditions and screen tests for Supergirl. Gunn and Safran have said this is not the Supergirl

01:07audiences are used to, as Gunn noted in late January of 2023.

01:11For Supergirl in this story, she is a character who was raised on a chunk of Krypton. She watched

01:18everybody around her perish in some terrible way, so she's a much more jaded character.
