Milly Alcock gained fame for her role as a young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the ‘House of the Dragon’, the prequel ‘Game of Thrones’, which was itself adapted from George R. R. Martin’s novel ‘Fire and Blood’. Her promising performance in the series has made her a rising star making certain directors collaborate with Alcock including the visionar Matthew Vaughn.
Recently, the entire Hollywood was quite taken aback when Milly Alcock rejected collaborating with Matthew Vaughn. Here is what the esteemed director had to say about the episode.
Matthew Vaughn Expressed Disappointment When Milly Alcock Turned Down His Offer
During a recent interview with BroBible, the versatile director Matthew Vaughn revealed the rather shocking news that Milly Alcock turned down his offer to collaborate. This revelation was made to light when James Gunn and Peter Safran announced that Alcock would embody the titular role in ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’.
However, gulping the disappointment, the director admired Milly Alcock and praised her as well, hoping to collaborate someday in the future. Alcock said, “I’m a huge fan of Milly Alcock. Huge fan. Met with her for this other project we’re working on — she turned me down, which was sad. She’s a fabulous actress.”
Matthew Vaughn was also flabbergasted as James Gunn announced the cast of ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ before reeling in a director. Vaughn said, “I do find it very weird that they haven’t got a director. That surprised me because you shouldn’t cast a movie — the director should be casting the movie. I don’t understand who cast it if there isn’t a director.”
