James Gunn Unveils First Look at Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Cameras have started rolling on DC's next big film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To celebrate, DC boss James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl...sort of.

In a post on Bluesky, Gunn announced that cameras have begun to roll on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. He also shared a photo of Alcock sitting in her actor's chair, so technically, it's a first look at the character.

"Thrilled to see camera roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El," Gunn's post reads. His announcement confirms that Gillespie, the director of Cruella and I, Tonya, will be directing the movie, as we reported last April.

No further details have been revealed about the movie other than it is heavily based on the graphic novel of the same name by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira. The comic tells a standalone story of an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll who enlists the help of Supergirl to get revenge for the murder of her father by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. It was nominated for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Award and is highly recommended if you haven't already read it.

Matthias Schoenaerts will play Krem, while Eve Ridley will portray Ruthye. Other cast members include David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and Jason Momoa, who has been recast in the DC universe as Lobo.

Supergirl is the second movie in the new DC universe, following James Gunn's Superman, which hits theaters this summer. Other movies in development include The Batman Part II (which may or may not be related to Gunn's movie-verse) and reportedly a Clayface movie from Mike Flanagan.
