The DC Cinematic Universe is being buzzed louder than The Flash on a caffeine rush. Among the swirl of speculation, Sydney Sweeney’s name keeps popping up like a Kryptonian surprise. Fans are abuzz, wondering if she might step into the role of Power Girl—Supergirl’s lesser-known but equally fierce cousin. But with Supergirl now an established tenant, does Sweeney's really need to fill in the shoes of another blond-haired, blue-eyed floater? 

Could the fan casting fever propel Sweeney to a real DCU role? Or is it just foam over a well-frothed story?

Rumors have Sydney Sweeney potentially suited up as Power Girl, sending fan theories into overdrive. Yet, until DC Studios makes an official call, it remains a tantalizing question mark rather than a fact. Sweeney's casting as Power Girl is more wishful thinking than confirmed news. Meanwhile, Milly Alcock has firmly claimed the title of Supergirl in the DC Universe, starring in her own upcoming feature. 

Milly Alcock as Supergirl is already flying high with rave reviews. The actress brings a fresh, emotionally resonant take to Kara Zor-El, promising a standout run. Her upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie is poised to deepen the character’s legacy, making Alcock the face of this new chapter. With her firmly in place, the DC Universe’s Supergirl story is ready to take off, leaving Power Girl’s debut and Sydney Sweeney's rumors hovering in the background—for now.

With talks of Sweene playing the character the camera now points towards Power Girl and her whereabouts.

Power Girl, though not as widely known outside comic circles, offers a fascinating alternate take on Kryptonian heroism. As Kara Zor-L from Earth-Two, she is Superman’s cousin from a parallel universe, packing a powerful punch and a unique attitude. While she remains a fan favorite in comics, Power Girl’s place in the DC Cinematic Universe is still waiting in the wings, with no official appearances yet to her name.

Power Girl remains the Kryptonian cousin you have heard whispers of but have yet to see in action. Sydney Sweeney’s rumored and actually fan-apprehended role in the DCU might still be just that—a rumor fans hope to see come true. For now, Milly Alcock’s Supergirl commands the spotlight, but the multiverse is vast. Who knows which heroine will take flight next? Fans will just have to stay tuned and buckle up for this DC rollercoaster.
