Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Gets First Look Courtesy of James Gunn

Cameras have begun rolling on DC's highly anticipated film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To mark this exciting milestone, DC Studios head James Gunn shared the first glimpse of Milly Alcock as Supergirl—a captivating image of the actress in her director's chair.

In a Bluesky post, Gunn announced the commencement of filming, confirming Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, and Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) as the director, as previously reported. The photo offers a sneak peek at Alcock in character.

"Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El," Gunn enthusiastically shared.

While plot details remain scarce, the film is heavily inspired by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira's acclaimed graphic novel. This standalone story centers on Ruthye Marye Knoll, an alien girl who enlists Supergirl's aid in avenging her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. Nominated for a 2022 Eisner Award for "Best Limited Series," the graphic novel is a must-read for fans.

The cast boasts impressive talent: Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, 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 film in the new DC Universe. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (its connection to Gunn's universe remains unclear) and a rumored Clayface film by Mike Flanagan.
