'Supergirl's Milly Alcock Confirms Major DC Cameo

Supergirl star Milly Alcock has confirmed that her upcoming DCU solo movie includes a full scene in the Kryptonian language, and she hinted that fans should prepare for a Man of Steel appearance from David Corenswet following his debut as the character in James Gunn’s Superman earlier this year. During a press conference, Alcock was asked about the most difficult sequence she had to film, and the answer was, surprisingly, a scene beside Clark Kent. “Oh my god, it was… It was with Superman. And I wasn’t in the suit, and I was speaking… A different language. A different language,” she explained. Alcock added that the scene was shot in harsh conditions.

“Yeah, that day was really hard, it was, like, 2 degrees. He jumped right in the deep end. Yeah, that was a hard day. The whole scene was in Kryptonian. The whole scene was, yeah… Yeah, Kryptonian.”

The confirmation suggests that audiences will see more than a quick cameo from Corenswet. A full sequence shared between Kara Zor-El and Kal-El, performed entirely in Kryptonian, points toward a deeper exploration of Kryptonian culture within the new DC Universe. Kara also debuted in Superman earlier this year, stumbling drunkenly into the Fortress of Solitude and briefly interacting with Krypto and her cousin before disappearing as quickly as she arrived.

A Darker Cosmic Quest for Kara Zor-El

Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie, known for Cruella and I, Tonya, and serves as one of the next major pieces of DC Studios’ rebooted continuity under Gunn and Peter Safran. The movie is loosely adapted from Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s acclaimed eight-issue comic run Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a revenge epic that follows Kara as she becomes entangled in the grief and fury of an alien girl named Ruby. The comic begins with Ruby seeking justice after her father is murdered by Krem of the Yellow Hills, a ruthless outlaw who becomes the target of her quest. The film brings The Old Guard actor Matthias Schoenaerts into the role of Krem. Alcock’s version of Kara is expected to be more battle-worn and morally complicated than previous screen iterations, aligning closely with the tone of the source material.

With Alcock now confirming a major Superman moment the same day the teaser trailer debuted, anticipation continues to build ahead of the film’s release. Supergirl releases in theaters on June 26, 2026.
