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. To mark the occasion, DC Studios head James Gunn shared a first look image on Bluesky.

The image shows Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in her chair, ready to portray Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl.

Gunn's post confirmed that Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) is directing, as previously reported. He expressed his excitement about the project and Alcock's casting.

The film is largely based on 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 seeking Supergirl's help to avenge 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 will play Krem, and Eve Ridley will portray Ruthye. Other 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 rebooted DC universe.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the second film in the new DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman movie, slated for release this summer. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (its connection to Gunn's universe remains unclear) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
