AceShowbiz - Milly Alcock is eager for her Supergirl character to battle the iconic villain Lex Luthor in the DC Universe, Superherohype reports. The DC films will introduce Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor starting with the 2025 release of Superman, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two characters.

Superherohype also reveals that Lex Luthor’s character will don a Warsuit, a high-tech armor that boosts his combat abilities to rival those of Kryptonians. Firstshowing adds that Supergirl is confirmed to appear in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, where Superman and Lex Luthor will temporarily join forces to confront the threat of Brainiac. Despite Luthor’s advanced weaponry, Superherohype notes that Alcock’s Supergirl is physically superior, making a fight between them a plausible and thrilling prospect.

Milly Alcock gained recognition for her role as Meg Adams in the TV series Upright and earned multiple nominations for her performance in House of the Dragon. With 13 acting credits, she is quickly becoming a standout talent in both television and film. Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in the upcoming movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, directed by Craig Gillespie and based on a story by Tom King. The film follows Kara’s intergalactic journey to rescue her dog Krypto while facing formidable foes like Krem of the Yellow Hills and space pirates called the Brigands. The movie is slated for a June 26, 2026 theatrical release by Warner Bros Pictures.

This development signals a promising expansion of Alcock’s role within the DC cinematic universe, potentially deepening Supergirl’s narrative by introducing one of Superman’s most notorious adversaries. A face-off with Lex Luthor could not only elevate her character’s profile but also enrich the interconnected storytelling that DC Studios aims to achieve in its upcoming slate of films.
