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 (known for House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl.

The image, shared on Bluesky, shows Alcock seated in her director's chair. Gunn's accompanying post expressed excitement about the project, confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as director, as previously reported.

The film is primarily based on Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. This standalone story follows 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 garnered a 2022 Eisner Award nomination for "Best Limited Series."

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 the recently recast Jason Momoa as Lobo.

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