Milly Alcock Sparks Debate on Supergirls Sexuality

Supergirl star  left fans divided with her answer after being asked if her character is queer.

The Australian actress, 26, has been amidst a promo tour for Supergirl ahead of the Studios' on June 26. 

In a recent interview, Alcock - who stars as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl, in the forthcoming flick - was asked about her superhero character's sexuality.

She answered the question by explaining that the storyline does not involve a male romantic interest for her character. 

'What make this film beautiful is that it's not centered around a man, not centered around love at all,' she told Queerly Radio. 'I don't really know. I don't know.

'I don't know,' she added once again before finally sharing her own opinion. 'She probably goes both ways.'

'I think because she doesn't live inside the binary of what we think a woman should be,' Alcock said about why her character resonates with LGBTQ+ fans during an interview with Narrativa Feminina's Ana Paula Barbosa.

'That is what makes her so special and so exciting and so new.' 

She later added that she also had a queer reading of the superhero character.

She inevitably said that her character Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl, 'probably goes both ways' at one point
