DC's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Begins Filming; First Look at Milly Alcock Revealed
Production has officially commenced on DC Studios' upcoming film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To mark the occasion, DC Studios head James Gunn shared a first look at Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl, via a Bluesky post. The image depicts Alcock seated in her director's chair.
Gunn's announcement confirms Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, a detail previously reported last April. He expressed excitement about the project's commencement at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
The film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. This standalone story centers on Ruthye Marye Knoll, an alien girl who enlists Supergirl's aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The graphic novel, a 2022 Eisner Award nominee for "Best Limited Series," is highly recommended.
Casting announcements include Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further cast members include David Krumholtz as Zor-El (Supergirl's father), Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and Jason Momoa, reprising his role as Lobo within the new DC Universe.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the second film in the rebooted DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman movie, slated for release this summer. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (whose connection to Gunn's universe remains uncertain) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
