As a seasoned film enthusiast with a penchant for superheroes and a soft spot for DC Comics, I must admit my excitement bubbling over at the prospect of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” gracing our screens. This isn’t just another superhero flick; it’s an intergalactic space adventure starring the Man of Steel’s cousin!
The picture of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) that James Gunn envisions is gradually taking shape, with the latest project “Creature Commandos” serving as a sneak peek into his plans to mold the future of the most remarkable and daring DC characters. However, it’s the upcoming storyline “Gods and Monsters” where the destiny of the DCEU will be determined in full. The forthcoming movie “Superman: Legacy” has already ignited excitement among fans for a valid reason, but details about other films that will contribute to Gunn’s vision of the DCEU, such as “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”, “The Brave and the Bold”, “Swamp Thing”, and “The Authority”, are still scarce.
With the upcoming series “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow“, as release details emerge and updates on cast, production, and plot unfold, fans are gradually piecing together their expectations. Here is a summary of what we currently know about Supergirl’s long-awaited return to DC Entertainment’s film universe.
‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ From Comic to Screen
It’s been confirmed that “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” will be adapted from the 2021-2022 comic book series written by Tom King. King, who played a significant role in shaping today’s DC Comics landscape through his work on Batman from 2016 to 2020, created a run that was both admired and criticized. The new direction he gave the Caped Crusader was considered bold, but also divisive among fans. As such, Tom King’s “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” has received mixed reactions from the fandom as well, with some appreciating its darker, more mature approach to superheroes while others disliking it for the same reason. This makes the decision to adapt this specific storyline a contentious one.
The upcoming film, “Superman: Legacy” starting from 2025, is expected to reveal the extent of changes and adjustments James Gunn intends to make within the DCEU’s “Gods and Monsters” narrative. However, the storyline will center around Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, who embarks on an interstellar journey with a young alien named Ruthye. Their mission is to seek vengeance for the murder of Ruthye’s parents, leading them to cross paths with ‘Krem of the Yellow Hills,’ a formidable warrior with a bloody past and his outlaw group, the Brigands. It is likely that Kara Zor-El will portray a more world-weary version of her comic book character, shaped by the loss of her home planet, Krypton.
Confirmed Cast for ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’
In the upcoming movie titled “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow“, only three cast members have been confirmed thus far: Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Eve Ridley. At this point, it’s uncertain if other characters, such as Superman, will make a special appearance. Many people may already know Milly Alcock from her portrayal of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Before audiences witness Milly Alcock embody the character of Supergirl in her own film, they can catch their first glimpse of the Supergirl character in the upcoming “Superman: Legacy” movie instead.
Matthias Schoenaerts is gearing up to portray the villain known as Krem from the Yellow Hills. This will mark his debut in the realm of superhero films. Schoenaerts, born in Belgium, has built an impressive body of work, with notable roles in critically acclaimed movies such as “Rust and Bone,” “Bullhead,” and “The Danish Girl.” As for how he’ll do in the role of an intergalactic martial artist, we’ll have to wait and see. However, his acting skills are undeniable, and at one point, he was even considered as a potential Batman.
The Crew Behind ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’
Craig Gillespie is set to direct the upcoming superhero film, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.” Notably, he has previously worked on films like “Cruella,” “I Tonya,” and “Lars and The Real Girl.” This will mark his debut in the superhero genre. However, Gillespie’s skill in handling quirky characters seems well-suited for Supergirl’s space adventures. The story is derived from a comic by Tom King, but it will be scripted for the screen by Ana Nogueira. Known to some as Penny Ares from “Vampire Diaries,” this will be Ana Nogueira’s first feature film screenplay.
Filming for the movie “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2025, with a planned release date on June 26, 2026. However, fans should be aware that projects like this can sometimes experience delays when announced so far ahead. One exciting detail for fans is the involvement of Rob Hardy as the director of photography. Known for his remarkable cinematography, Hardy has worked on films such as “Annihilation” (2018) and “Mission: Impossible – Fallout”. Additionally, James Gunn will serve as the producer, which means he’ll likely play a significant role in various production aspects as he continues to mold the DC Extended Universe.
