Milly Alcock has named David Corenswet as her favorite Superman actor, making the revelation during a recent appearance ahead of her own debut as Supergirl in the DC Universe. The Australian actress is preparing to step into one of the most recognizable superhero roles in popular culture. As anticipation continues to build around her upcoming portrayal of Kara Zor-El, fans have become increasingly curious about her thoughts on the actors and characters that helped define the comic-book genre before her.

That curiosity led to an entertaining conversation during a recent interview, where Alcock was asked to weigh in on several iconic superhero portrayals spanning both Marvel and DC.

During an appearance on the Big Bro with Kid Cudi, Milly Alcock took part in a rapid-fire segment that challenged her to pick her favorite versions of several beloved comic-book characters. The game covered everything from Batman and Joker to Spider-Man and Hulk. When asked to choose between Christopher Reeve, Henry Cavill, and David Corenswet as Superman, Alcock did not need much time to think.

"David Corenswet. I can't say otherwise, I think I would be out of a job if I was like... Wait, no. He just is Superman. I met him and I was like, 'Oh, you're the guy, you're the guy,'" she said on the Big Bro with Kid Cudi. 

While the actress jokingly acknowledged the obvious connection between their upcoming DC projects, her answer quickly shifted from humor to genuine admiration. The remark suggests that meeting Corenswet in person only reinforced her belief that he was the right choice to carry the mantle of Superman for a new generation of audiences. The conversation also revealed several of Alcock's other superhero favorites, including Christian Bale as Batman, Heath Ledger as Joker, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk.

The rapid-fire segment made it clear that Alcock has strong opinions about some of the most iconic superhero performances ever put on screen. Ironically, there was a time not long ago when she wasn't entirely convinced she wanted to become part of that world herself.

Today, Milly Alcock is one of the faces of DC Studios' future. But taking on the role of Supergirl was not an automatic decision. In a recent interview with Variety, the actress admitted that she was intimidated by the scale of the opportunity and the pressure that comes with leading a major franchise. After finding international fame through HBO's House of the Dragon, she initially had reservations about stepping into another massive pop-culture phenomenon.

The role ultimately resonated with her because of Kara Zor-El's emotional journey. According to Alcock, the character's struggles with identity, grief, and self-worth felt surprisingly relatable, allowing her to connect with the material on a personal level.

That connection helped transform what began as a frightening prospect into an opportunity she felt compelled to embrace. The actress has spoken openly about choosing to lean into challenges rather than run from them, a mindset that ultimately led her to accept one of the most coveted roles in Hollywood.

As Supergirl moves closer to release, Alcock's latest comments offer a glimpse into the new DC Universe taking shape. And if her rapid-fire answer is any indication, the actress already knows exactly who she believes should be leading it from the skies above Metropolis.
