  "account": "Nathan Fillion, known for his roles in various DCU productions, has come to Milly Alcock's defense after her portrayal of Supergirl underperformed at the box office. In an interview with Variety, the Firefly star expressed his enjoyment of seeing the right person for the right role and praised Alcock's interpretation of Superman's bitter and hard-partying cousin. Fillion, who has already played a range of superheroes, including Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan, Deadpool, Vigilante, T.D.K., and even The Holy Avenger, has faith in James Gunn's ability to create a DCU with diverse tones and stories. Fillion has worked on 12 of Gunn's projects since their collaboration in Slither in 2006 and has never been disappointed by anything Gunn has done.",
