Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Gets First Look Courtesy of James Gunn

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 an exciting first look via Bluesky, showcasing Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in her Supergirl chair as Kara Zor-El.

Gunn expressed his enthusiasm, confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as director, a fact previously reported last April. The film will closely adapt the acclaimed graphic novel by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. This standalone story centers on Ruthye Marye Knoll, an alien girl seeking Supergirl's aid to avenge 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" and is highly recommended.

Casting announcements include Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further 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 new DC universe.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows James Gunn's Superman movie, slated for release this summer, as the second film in the rebooted DC universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (with uncertain connection to Gunn's universe) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
