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 unveiled a first look at Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, aka 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, also confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the film's director, a fact previously reported last April.
Plot details remain scarce, but the film will closely adapt Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's acclaimed graphic novel. This standalone story 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 graphic novel, a 2022 Eisner Award nominee for "Best Limited Series," is highly recommended.
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 the newly-cast Jason Momoa as Lobo.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer, as the second film in the rebooted DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (whose connection to the Gunn-verse remains uncertain) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
