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 exciting news on Bluesky, unveiling a first look at Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. The image shows Alcock seated in her director's chair on set.
Gunn's post confirmed Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the film's director, a fact previously reported last April. He expressed his enthusiasm about the project's commencement at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
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 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" and 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 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 projects in development include The Batman Part II (whose connection to Gunn's universe remains uncertain) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
