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. 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, a.k.a. Supergirl. The image shows Alcock seated in her director's chair.
Gunn's post confirmed Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the film's director, a fact previously reported last April. He expressed his enthusiasm about the project and Alcock's casting.
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 seeks Supergirl's aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The graphic novel received an Eisner Award nomination for "Best Limited Series" in 2022.
Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley are cast as Krem and Ruthye, respectively. The supporting cast includes 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 marks the second film in the rebooted DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman movie, slated for release this summer. Other upcoming DC projects include The Batman Part II (with its connection to the Gunn-verse yet to be confirmed) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
