“Supergirl” Star On Superhero Film Criticism
If there is one topic that has got people talking in recent years, it’s the question of whether famed filmmakers think superhero movies have cinematic value.
Directors from Ridley Scott to Martin Scorsese have all spoken about this, and found themselves drawing the ire of comic book fanboys, cinephiles and random social media users.
Most of those who have worked in the genre, however, have offered different views and praised how well it can work. Now, the new “Supergirl” actress, Milly Alcock, has offered her own take when asked about the negative response from the likes of Scorsese.
Speaking with Vanity Fair in a recent interview, she says its simply a matter of different strokes for different folks:
“I get it. They’ve been around for f–king ever, making phenomenal films. Not every film is for everyone. The beauty of art is that you can be selective.”
Alcock also spoke about some of the criticisms she has been on the receiving end of herself, namely for simply being a woman in the genre space as she was when she appeared on the first season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon”:
“[‘House of Dragon’] definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on. We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”
Alcock has been drawing very good reaction for her work in “Supergirl” going by early test screening reaction, though yesterday’s trailer release has already come under some criticism, with quite a few not a fan of its brown colour palette.
Speaking about potential reaction to the film, she says: “Of course I’m scared. Of course I want people to like me and the movie. But ultimately, it’s out of my control.”
“Supergirl” is set to open in cinemas on June 26th.
