Transgender actress Ivory Aquino has joined the star-studded cast of HBO’s upcoming ‘Batgirl’ film to portray Alysia Yeoh – one of DC’s first openly trans characters, and the best friend of Leslie Grace’s titular hero.
News of the casting was initially leaked online when Grace posted a photo from the film set on Instagram, tagging Aquino and captioning the photo with “Barbara and Alysia.” However, the casting has now been officially confirmed.
