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

DC's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Commences Filming; First Look 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 as Kara Zor-El, the titular Supergirl.

Gunn shared on Bluesky a photograph of Alcock seated in her director's chair, offering a sneak peek at the actress in character.

"Thrilled to see cameras rolling at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie directing and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El," Gunn announced. The post confirms Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as director, aligning with previous reports.

Plot details remain scarce, but the film will closely adapt Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's acclaimed graphic novel. 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.

The cast 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 new DC universe.

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 Gunn's universe yet to be confirmed) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
