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 announced the commencement of filming on Bluesky, sharing a first look image of Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in her role as Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl.

Gunn expressed his excitement, confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, 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, a nominee for the 2022 Eisner Award for "Best Limited Series," 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 cast includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further casting announcements include 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 rebooted DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (whose connection to the Gunn-led universe remains unclear) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
