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 unveiled the news on Bluesky, sharing a behind-the-scenes image of Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in her chair as Kara Zor-El, providing a first glimpse at the actress in character.
Gunn expressed his excitement, confirming Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, a fact previously reported. The film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. This acclaimed comic, a nominee for the 2022 Eisner Award for "Best Limited Series," 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.
The cast includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem and Eve Ridley as Ruthye. Further casting announcements reveal David Krumholtz as Zor-El (Supergirl's father), Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and the previously announced 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 its connection to the Gunn-verse yet to be confirmed) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
