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.
The image, shared on Bluesky, shows Alcock seated in her director's chair, offering a sneak peek at the character. Gunn expressed his excitement, highlighting the involvement of director Craig Gillespie (known for Cruella and I, Tonya) and praising Alcock's talent.
The film is heavily inspired by 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 aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The acclaimed comic, nominated for a 2022 Eisner Award for "Best Limited Series," is a recommended read for those unfamiliar with the source material.
Casting announcements include Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further additions to the ensemble cast are 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 follows James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer, as the second film in the newly established DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (with its connection to the Gunn-led universe yet to be confirmed) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
