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. DC Studios head James Gunn shared the exciting news on Bluesky, unveiling a first look at Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, the titular Supergirl. The image depicts Alcock in her director's chair on set.
Gunn's post confirmed that Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) is directing, as previously reported. The film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. This acclaimed comic, nominated for a 2022 Eisner Award, follows Ruthye Marye Knoll, an alien girl seeking Supergirl's aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem.
The cast includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further casting announcements reveal David Krumholtz as Zor-El (Supergirl's father), Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and the previously announced Jason Momoa as Lobo.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow marks the second film in the newly rebooted DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer. Other upcoming DC projects include The Batman Part II (whose connection to the Gunn-led universe remains unclear) and a reported Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
