Superman is shaping up to be a film to be remembered, but fans are split on what to think about the new Man of Steel’s costume for the upcoming epic.
How Supergirl Could Still Be In The Superman Movie
Ever since Alcock was first cast as Kara Zor-El in the DC Universe, it has been heavily rumored that theHouse of the Dragonalum would be making her Supergirl debut in a different DC Studios project before her solo film. Gunn said in February that"I never even said she was in the movie,“in regards toSupergirl appearing inSuperman. However, the director has also not given a definitive no to the idea of Alcock popping up in David Corenswet’s DC Universe debut.
While Alcock is not in Cleveland forSuperman’songoing shoot, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t have filmed some potential scenes at different points during production. As Gunn’s movie has been filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, and Svalbard, Norway, it is not outside the realm of possibility that Alcock shot her Supergirl scenes at any of those points. Whatever is not filmed on location and to the public makes any secret cameo appearances a lot easier to keep under wraps.
With the manyDC Universe rumorsthat Gunn has chimed in on over the last year, time will tell if he will ever give a definitive answer to whether Supergirl is inSuperman. It wouldn’t be shocking if the reason Gunn hasn’t responded to those types of direct questions is because he wants the general audience to be surprised if Alcock’s Supergirl shows up in the film. For now, though, the world will have to wait and see if Supergirl will take flight inSuperman, or if Alcock’s debut in the DC Universe will be later down the line.
