It's April 1st, Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today starts now, AI-powered and spotlight ready. I'm Cory with the story. Millie Alcock, the 25-year-old Australian actress, says her stint as young Renera Targaryen on House of the Dragon, has straight-up readyed. Her for Supergirl. She's now locked in as Karazor L in Warner Bros.'s upcoming film, set to hit theaters June 26, 2026. Both projects pulled in massive, opinionated fanbases that dissect every move. That Game of Thrones prequel showed her how women in these blockbuster worlds face non-stop commentary just for showing up. She picked up quick on how public eyes lock onto female stars in genre flicks, setting the stage for the Supergirl spotlight. Alcock admits she's nervous about the hate that my role in, wanting fans to vibe with her and the movie. But she's chill about it being beyond her grip, focusing on staying true instead. She skipped advice from past Supergirls

like Melissa Benwist or Sasha Cale, seeing them as regular folks, not mentors. After House of the Dragon and Netflix's sirens, she swore off franchise gigs entirely. A full year without steady work shifted her mindset, pushing her to grab this role despite the doubts. With Craig Gillespie directing and heavy hitters like Jason Momoa and Matthias Schoenert starring alongside, Alcock's diving headfirst into this. Next chapter, armed with lessons from the Dragon Fire.
