Fans imagine Millie Bobby Brown from Upside Down of &#039;Stranger Things&#039; to Gotham of DC as the iconic Supergirl in James Gunn&#039;s new universe.

‘Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown Jumps Ships as Supergirl in James Gunn’s New DC in Fan Art

Millie Bobby Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] was
hardly eleven when she was cast for the role of Eleven in Netflix’s Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]. Starting her showbiz
life as a test subject in her debut show, the actress soon went on to prove that
she had as much power in her acting as her character had on screen. Now picture
this: Brown saving not just Upside Down and the Hawkins gang but the entire
planet at once. Well, now that Hollywood has really pulled itself neck-deep with
the concept of the multiverse, anything one can think of stands to be a
possibility.

Along the lines, fans are left to wonder what if Millie Bobby Brown followed in
the footsteps of Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] and
hopped on board DC?


MILLIE BOBBY BROWN DONS THE RED CAPE AS SUPERGIRL IN FAN ART FOR JAMES GUNN’S DC

Henry Cavill was supposed to have his last outing as Superman in 2023’s The
Flash but the cameo was scrapped and the film got an alternate ending. However,
that movie introduced Sasha Calle’s Supergirl to the big screen. Yet, James Gunn
dismissed her as well as many previous actors as non-canon. Wondering who would
fit the new DC chief’s bill, a fan art landed on Millie Bobby Brown. Sporting
fierce grit in her brown eyes and her flowing locks, Brown took over the red
cape and the fandom’s imagination by storm.

Supergirl’s roots in the comics stated her as a cousin of Superman, sharing the
same powers. Gunn had stated that he was on the lookout for “young” actors while
replacing Henry Cavill with David Corenswet
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-i-was-never-making-james-gunn-defends-henry-cavills-superman-replacement/].
Moreover, he also announced a Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to be in the works.
Brown stands to be the perfect choice among fans. Echoing her persona of
determination and grit, the actress has a knack for bringing out her best on
screen.

While fans revel in fan castings, James Gunn recently snubbed almost the
entirety of the early DC movies out of his studios.


AFTER HENRY CAVILL AND BEN AFFLECK, JAMES GUNN CASTS DOUBT ON THE MAJORITY OF
EXISTING DC ACTORS

It is no secret that the entire DC fandom and the comic book fans were in pain
when James Gunn showed Henry Cavill an unceremonious exit. Soon after, Ben
Affleck too followed. Now, in a recent revelation, the new DC chief announced
that all movies, including The Flash and the upcoming Aquaman 2, would not be
canon to his universe. Furthermore, barring Viola Davis, John Cena, and Xolo
Maridueña, all other actors in the preceding DC Universe are non-canon as well.

> ‘SUPERMAN: LEGACY’ is non-canon.

> “Some actors will be playing characters they’ve played in other stories & some

As such, the speculated return of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman too will not have
the light of the day. The announcements also seemingly confirm Blue Beetle to be
the first movie in Gunn’s new universe. It will soon be followed by his own
directorial, Superman: Legacy. Amidst this major reshuffle, the entire hierarchy
and timeline stands shaken and awaits resolution with the release of Gunn’s
movie.
