Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow is my most anticipated movie from the new DCU, and while i really wanted Kiernan Shipka as Kara too, i'm okay with either of the actresses that screen tested for the role. I agree that Meg Donnelly makes the most sense to be chosen. Also, while the Supergirl show was mostly ok, Melissa Benoist was amazing as Kara, so i'm hoping the new actress will bring the same energy. Also, i really want to get the comic to read it but it's constantly out of stock. People are buying it like crazy. Now i'm patiently waiting to come back so i can get a copy too.

[@A-man-ix4kz]

I read it. It's not great. It basically has Supergirl as a side character in her own comic. It's basically True Grit in sci-fantasy space with a teen girl named Ruthie wanting to avenge the death of her father and goading Kara into helping her (which is reluctant about at first, but gets serious about it after the bad guy shoots her dog and steals her spaceship).

I would’ve liked to have seen Lili Reinhart as Supergirl. She’s a very talented actress and looks the part.

I think Milly has the most potential to give a really cool performance that contrasts against a more wholesome, traditional Superman. That said, Donnelly has a great look, some bonafides with the character, and some of that same quality from the days of the early MCU where these lesser known actors were being plucked from off the Hollywood bench to become superstars. I’d also be very interested to see someone with her stature as the smallest of the bunch in a powerhouse role. The rest I’m sure could give competent performances but just don’t seem to bring anything special to the table for this character.
