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 news on Bluesky, along with a first look image of Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in her role as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. The photo depicts Alcock seated in her director's chair.
Gunn's announcement confirms Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, as previously reported. He expressed his excitement about the project's commencement at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
The film will be a largely faithful adaptation of Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel. 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 graphic novel garnered a 2022 Eisner Award nomination for "Best Limited Series."
Matthias Schoenaerts is cast as Krem, with Eve Ridley portraying Ruthye. 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 rebooted DC universe.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow marks the second film in the newly established DC Universe, following James Gunn's Superman movie, slated for release this summer. Other upcoming DC projects in development include The Batman Part II (with its connection to Gunn's universe yet to be confirmed) and a reported Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
