"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow - James Gunn Shares First Look"

The cameras have officially started rolling on DC's highly anticipated film, *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*. To mark the occasion, DC's head honcho, James Gunn, took to Bluesky to share the first glimpse of Milly Alcock in her role as Supergirl...sort of. In his post, Gunn unveiled a photo of Alcock sitting in her actor's chair, offering fans a sneak peek at the star who will bring Kara Zor-El to life.

Gunn expressed his excitement, stating, "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 confirms that Gillespie, acclaimed for his work on *Cruella* and *I, Tonya*, will be directing the film, as previously reported in April.

While details on the plot remain under wraps, it's known that the movie will draw heavily from the graphic novel *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira. The story follows 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. This compelling narrative was nominated for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Awards and is a must-read for fans.

The cast 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 set to be the second film in the new DC universe, following James Gunn's *Superman*, which is slated for release this summer. Other projects in development include *The Batman Part II*, which may or may not connect to Gunn's cinematic universe, and a reported *Clayface* movie directed by Mike Flanagan.
