Sydney Sweeney is cementing herself as one of the most popular yet controversial figures in pop culture. Following Euphoria, with a rising career, she recently dazzled fans in several feature films and fueled headlines with controversial ad campaigns and business ventures. Whether it is her bathwater or genes, Sweeney has been on everyone's mind lately. Her fame knows no bounds, so it is little wonder that talk about her as DC's new Supergirl has exploded across fan sites, sending cheers and doubts flying in equal proportions.

Behind the gaudy headlines is a sensational Hollywood star whom fans want to see wear a cape. Upon the first HD look reveal of DC's Supergirl, Milly Alcock, taking to X, several users wonder whether Sweeney would have been a better fit, or does the controversies trailing her are just too toxic for a beloved comic book character. While several fans demanded they "wanna see Sydney Sweeney as Supergirl", another snarky user commented that Sweeney would neither fit in the role nor the costume. And some fans have been clamoring for America's newest sweetheart to take up the role of Wonder Woman instead.

For the unversed, get to know the real Supergirl: Milly Alcock, chosen for the ambitious next installment of the blooming DC Universe. Her introduction, well-orchestrated via a cameo in the latest Superman movie, lays the groundwork for her exciting solo journey helmed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira. Slated to be released in June 2026, it guarantees a cosmic journey unlike any other. However, fans keep circling back with their demands of seeing Sydney Sweeney suiting up, though yielding disappointing reactions from fellow enthusiasts.

Pop culture's obsession with beauty, branding, and reinvention leads to both positive and negative changes. While Sweeney remains embroiled in controversies, fans cannot stop wanting more of her onscreen presence, to the point of making desperate AI requests. 

Fans have been obsessing over Sydney Sweeney, imagining her donning the cape. Several users took to X to express their excitement over Sweeney's potential superhero era, calling it as auspicious and powerful as an earth-shattering performance. Meanwhile, some X users are confused as to why even AI would not recreate her as Supergirl aptly, but that does not stop them from requesting more. 

Way to get ratio-ed on X, as a fan's blatant demand to see Sweeney in the role of Supergirl has met some sarcastic responses to have him retract his request. Several X users stridently attacked Sweeney's acting skills, comparing them to Milly Alcock and reaching the verdict that DCU's current casting seems rather perfect. Some users have also been using crude humor to criticize Sweeney's body image in this regard. 

The consensus seems to weigh in favor of Alcock's superior acting talent compared to Sweeney; however, some fans would still like to see her as Power Girl or Black Cat instead. Sydney Sweeney as Supergirl might never materialize, but Milly Alcock has already won the mantle, supported by a scintillating script and a promising production scheduled for a 2026 summer release.
