The cameras have officially started rolling on DC's highly anticipated film, *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*. To mark this exciting milestone, DC boss James Gunn took to Bluesky to share the first glimpse of Milly Alcock as Supergirl. While it's not a full reveal, fans are treated to a photo of Alcock sitting in her actor's chair, hinting at the character's upcoming portrayal.
Gunn's post read, "Thrilled to see camera roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El." This announcement confirms that Craig Gillespie, known for directing *Cruella* and *I, Tonya*, will be steering the ship for this new DC venture, as previously reported last April.
The film is set to be a close adaptation of the graphic novel *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. The story follows an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll, who recruits Supergirl to seek vengeance for her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. This compelling narrative earned a nomination for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Awards, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.
The cast for *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* is equally impressive. Matthias Schoenaerts will portray the antagonist Krem, while Eve Ridley will bring Ruthye to life. The film will also feature David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El, Emily Beecham as her mother, and Jason Momoa, who has been recast in the DC universe as Lobo.
*Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* marks the second entry in the new DC universe, following James Gunn's *Superman*, slated for release this summer. Other upcoming projects include *The Batman Part II*, which might or might not be connected to Gunn's broader movie-verse, and a rumored *Clayface* film directed by Mike Flanagan.
