The two actresses spoke to PEOPLE at the film’s world premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City on 22 June 2026, sharing insights into their special bracelets. Ridley explained that the bracelets were designed with clay beads and were themed to reflect elements from the movie. Alcock praised Ridley’s kindness, commenting, “Eve made everybody these very, very sweet bracelets.” She further revealed that Ridley donated the proceeds from the bracelet-making to charity, calling her co-star “obnoxiously cute,” a sentiment that speaks volumes about their camaraderie.
In “Supergirl,” Alcock takes on the role of the titular character, who finds herself reluctantly teaming up with an unusual companion on a grand intergalactic journey filled with themes of vengeance and justice. Alcock previously made her debut as the superhero in last year’s “Superman” film and is poised to reprise her role in the follow-up, “Man of Tomorrow.”
The film, set to hit cinemas on 26 June 2026, is directed by Craig Gillespie and features a star-studded cast, which also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa. Produced by Peter Safran and James Gunn, “Supergirl” promises to be an exciting entry in the DC franchise, captivating audiences with an engaging storyline and dynamic performances.
Both Alcock and Ridley have developed a strong bond throughout the filming process, with Ridley calling Alcock a mentor. “Every day on set, Milly mentored me and I learned so much from her,” Ridley disclosed in a separate interview. The pair demonstrated their chemistry not just on-screen, but also in various promotional activities, including a “Friendship Test” for Glamour magazine.
Recalling their first meeting, Alcock remarked on the chemistry reading they shared, highlighting her immediate admiration for Ridley’s talent. “They had like other girls come in, but you were the first girl. I remember reading with you and I was, like, ‘Oh my god, she’s fabulous,’ ” she stated. Alcock’s instant preference for Ridley further solidifies the foundation of their friendship and professional collaboration.
The film’s promotional events have also highlighted the strong connections formed among the cast. Ridley’s creative touch with the friendship bracelets demonstrates how warmth and consideration can extend beyond the filming process and create lasting relationships. Her efforts have not only fostered a sense of community among cast members but have also contributed positively towards those in need through charitable donations.
In a world increasingly focused on social and emotional connections, Ridley and Alcock’s relationship serves as an inspiring example of how collaboration in the film industry can go hand in hand with personal growth and empathy. As audiences eagerly await the release of “Supergirl,” the behind-the-scenes camaraderie reflects a positive atmosphere that resonates through their performances.
With a promising storyline and a committed cast, “Supergirl” is set to be a cinematic highlight this summer. As Milly Alcock dons her superhero cape once more, fans can look forward to what appears to be an empowering and entertaining adventure, enriched by the bonds forged both on and off-screen.
