Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Gets First Look Courtesy of James Gunn

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, starring Milly Alcock (known for House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El. DC Studios head James Gunn shared the news on Bluesky, along with a behind-the-scenes image of Alcock in her director's chair – offering a first glimpse at the actress in character.

Gunn expressed his excitement, highlighting director Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) and Alcock's talent. The film's adaptation will closely follow 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. The graphic novel received an Eisner Award nomination for "Best Limited Series" in 2022.

The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, David Krumholtz as Zor-El (Supergirl's father), Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and Jason Momoa, reprising his role as Lobo within the rebooted DC universe.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow marks the second film in the newly established DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman movie slated for release this summer. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (with its connection to the Gunn-led universe yet to be confirmed) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
