Just days before the official release of Supergirl, actress Milly Alcock shared her thoughts on the film’s themes during interviews in London and New York City.
The Australian star described how the movie centers on an independent woman, stating: “What makes this film so beautiful is that it’s not centered around a man, it’s not centered around love at all.” She added that Kara Zor-El, the character from Krypton, embodies resilience and strength that deeply resonates with many in the LGBTQ+ community.
Alcock also discussed her recent experiences with online harassment, noting: “We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.” The actress emphasized the film’s lack of romantic subplots, describing Kara Zor-El as someone who is “strong, tough, and messy” without any focus on love or relationships.
