While the Rust and Bone actor Matthias Schoenaerts will portray the dreadful antagonist Krem. Gunn revealed in one of his posts on Threads that the House of the Dragon actress had been his first choice for playing Supergirl.
“Strangely, Milly was the FIRST person I brought up to Peter (Safran) for this role, well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics,” he said at the time.
