Milly Alcock Wants Girls to Know It’s OK to Be “Bad and Messy” in “Supergirl”

Supergirl Star Milly Alcock

Ahead of the release of “Supergirl”, star Milly Alcock graces the cover of “Beyond Noise Magazine” Issue 5, accompanied by a full photo shoot and an in-depth interview alongside screenwriter Ana Nogueira.

In the piece, Alcock opens up about the message she hopes young audiences take from the film. “I think young girls should walk away from the film knowing that it’s ok to be a bit bad, and messy,” she says — a sentiment that feels very much in step with the raw, characterful energy of her cover shoot.

The conversation between Alcock and Nogueira offers a rare window into the creative partnership behind the project, touching on their collaborative process and the personal dreams they each brought to the story.

Together, the cover, shoot, and interview paint a picture of a “Supergirl” that leans into imperfection — a superhero story that gives young girls permission to be flawed, complicated, and fully themselves.

“Supergirl,” DC Studios’ newest feature film to hit the big screen, will be in theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, starring Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

Alcock stars alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.

DC Studios heads Peter Safran and James Gunn are producing the film, which is based on characters from DC, Supergirl based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film is executive produced by Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars P. Winther. Behind the camera, Gillespie is joined by director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, Visual Effects Supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Saudie Sarne.

“Supergirl” will be in theaters and IMAX across North America on June 26, 2026, and internationally beginning 24 June 2026.

Before anyone takes the comment out of context, what Milly meant is that it’s okay for people to admit they have flaws because doing so is a sign of strength. That message can apply to everyone, not just girls.
