Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Production on the DCU Supergirl film featuring Milly Alcock has formally begun, with a scheduled release date of June 26, 2026.

DC Studios and James Gunn released the following first-look behind-the-scenes image of Alcock.

James Gunn excitedly shared on social media: “Excited to witness filming begin at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden for Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie directing and the outstanding Milly Alcock portraying Kara Zor-El. – Craig’s directorial skills are exceptional, and Milly embodies perfectly the one-of-a-kind #Supergirl imagined by Tom King, Bilquis, and Ana Nogueira.

Alock posted, “Introducing Kara.”

Who stars in Supergirl?

Along with Milly Alcock, also starring in the film includes:

  • Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll
  • Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills
  • David Krumholtz as Zor-El
  • Emily Beecham as Alura
  • Jason Momoa as Lobo

What is Supergirl about?

The movie is based on the 2022 comic book series “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” which was beautifully illustrated by Bilquis Evely.

In the plot, the character Ruthye Knoll – a young alien combatant – embarks on an intergalactic expedition alongside Supergirl, pursuing Krem of the Yellow Hills, the antagonist responsible for Ruthye’s father’s death. Additionally, it is hinted that Krypto, who debuted in James Gunn’s Superman, will play a part in the story.

“She’s much more hardcore” than Superman

At a press conference held in January 2023, Gunn unveiled that his portrayal of Supergirl will be significantly grittier compared to the depiction of Superman by David Corenswet.

As a movie critic, I’d rephrase it as: “I find a striking contrast between Superman and Supergirl, one who grew up in a nurturing Earthly environment since infancy, and the other, a Kryptonian prodigy who spent her early years on an alien planet before being torn away by tragedy. The latter’s harsh upbringing has molded her into a tougher, more resilient character – she’s not your typical sweet Supergirl.” (Gunn’s original statement is kept intact within the parentheses.)
