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, otherwise known as 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, a fact previously reported last April.

Plot details remain scarce, but the film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. This Eisner Award-nominated comic 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. It's a standalone story recommended for fans unfamiliar with the source material.

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 follows James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, slated for release this summer, as the second installment in the new DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (its connection to the Gunn-led universe remains uncertain) and a rumored Clayface film from Mike Flanagan.
