James Gunn Unveils First Look at "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" Film

DC's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Commences Filming; First Look at Milly Alcock Revealed

Production has officially begun on DC's highly anticipated film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To mark the occasion, DC Studios head James Gunn unveiled a first look at Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, the titular Supergirl.

The image, shared on Bluesky, shows Alcock seated in her director's chair, offering a sneak peek at the character. Gunn expressed his excitement, confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, a fact previously reported last April.

The film is heavily based on Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's acclaimed graphic novel of the same name. This standalone story centers on Ruthye Marye Knoll, an alien girl seeking Supergirl's aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The graphic novel received a 2022 Eisner Award nomination for "Best Limited Series."

Casting announcements include Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further additions to the ensemble cast are David Krumholtz as Zor-El (Supergirl's father), Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and the newly-cast Jason Momoa as Lobo.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer, as the second film in the rebooted DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (with its connection to the Gunn-verse yet to be confirmed) and a reported Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
