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, otherwise known as Supergirl.
Gunn shared on Bluesky a photo of Alcock in her director's chair, offering a sneak peek at the actress in character. His post also confirmed that Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) is directing, as previously reported.
"Thrilled to see cameras rolling at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El," Gunn stated.
The film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's graphic novel of the same name. 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, a 2022 Eisner Award nominee for "Best Limited Series," is highly recommended.
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 Jason Momoa, reprising his role as Lobo within the rebooted DC Universe.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, hitting theaters this summer, as the second film in the newly established DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (whose connection to Gunn's universe remains unclear) and a rumored Clayface film by Mike Flanagan.
