‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ Nabs Rising Star from The Three-Body Problem

As a fan who has followed Eve Ridley’s career since her breakthrough role in ‘The Three-Body Problem‘, I couldn’t be more thrilled about her landing the role of Ruthye Marye Knoll in ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’. Her performance was already captivating, and this step up to a major DC Studios movie is well-deserved.


As reported by Deadline, Eve Ridley, fresh from her impactful performance in ‘The Three-Body Problem’ on Netflix, has secured the part of Ruthye Marye Knoll in the forthcoming DC Studios film titled ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to be part of the crowd that’s seen this rising star take a giant leap forward. Her captivating portrayal in the Netflix series has undeniably piqued the interest of the entertainment industry.

In this film, based on the comics created by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, Ridley’s character, named Ruthye, teams up with Supergirl to embark on a cosmic mission seeking revenge.

The narrative unfolds around Ruthye’s pursuit of vindication after her father was killed by the wicked character Krem, played by Matthias Schoenaerts.

Millie Alcock is set to take on the lead role as Supergirl (also known as Kara Zor-El), having earned recognition for her exceptional performance in ‘House of the Dragon’.

Director Craig Gillespie, famous for ‘Cruella’, will helm this upcoming project. The script is written by Ana Nogueira, who has previous experience in television writing, particularly with ‘The Vampire Diaries’.

This project is set to become a crucial addition to the DC Universe collection, offering a new perspective on the Supergirl storyline.

In this revised version, the story follows Supergirl as she embarks on an intergalactic voyage to mark her 21st birthday with her canine companion Krypto, the Superdog. Along the way, she meets Ruthye, which sets them off on a vengeful pursuit.

In the movie, the depiction of Supergirl emphasizes her rugged and experienced side, developed from her troubled past on a shard of Krypton, as opposed to Superman’s loving upbringing that took place on Earth.

In relation to the project, James Gunn highlighted that the upcoming movie intends to present an alternative perspective of Supergirl, a character who has been toughened by the challenging circumstances of her youth.

From a different angle, this characterization deviates from the typical, pure-hearted portrayal of Supergirl that we’re familiar with.

The buzz for the upcoming ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is growing steadily, as DC Studios keeps expanding its universe with fresh and captivating narratives. Mark your calendars for a release date on June 26, 2026 – fans can hardly wait!

Prior to starring in her standalone film, Alcock’s portrayal of Supergirl will initially be seen in the DC Universe during ‘Superman’, scheduled for release next summer. This will pave the way for her to make a name for herself independently.

With an impressive lineup of talent and a captivating new storyline, it’s evident that DC Studios is positioning ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ as a striking gem in their expanding cinematic universe.
