Cameras have started rolling on DC's next big film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To celebrate this exciting milestone, DC boss James Gunn shared a glimpse of Milly Alcock as Supergirl...sort of.
In a post on Bluesky, Gunn announced that filming has commenced 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, which technically counts as our first look at the character.

"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 in his post. This confirms that Gillespie, the director behind Cruella and I, Tonya, will be steering the movie, as was previously reported last April.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, it's known that the film is heavily inspired by the graphic novel of the same name by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira. The comic presents a standalone story of an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll who seeks Supergirl's help to avenge her father's murder by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The graphic novel was nominated for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Awards and is highly recommended for anyone interested in the story.
The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, 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: Woman of Tomorrow is the second movie in the new DC universe, following James Gunn's Superman, set to hit theaters this summer. Other upcoming projects in the works include The Batman Part II (which may or may not connect to Gunn's movie-verse) and a reportedly in-development Clayface movie from Mike Flanagan.
