The projects at DC Studios led by James Gunn and Co-Chairman Peter Safran are gradually becoming more intertwined and harmonious as each new project unfolds. Recently, it was announced via the Hollywood Reporter that the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has cast its title role, with set to play Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Interestingly, this character will also make a brief appearance in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, scheduled for release this summer. Production on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is about to commence in the UK, with a planned release date of June 2026.
The fresh take on the DC Universe appears to be thriving post-launch of its inaugural production, “Creature Commandos” on Max. This series has cleverly woven in world-building elements across its seven episodes, featuring fleeting appearances by Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Peacemaker, and other characters whose standalone projects are currently being developed. The upcoming debuts of essential characters for the new cinematographic universe, along with apparent production and filming timetables, give the revamped DCU a marked contrast to the troubled DCEU.
Due to the unclear extent of Milly Alcock’s role in the upcoming ‘Superman’, it’s challenging to predict how her character will be briefly included in the storyline. However, with the recent announcement that Jason Momoa will portray Lobo, there might be a subtle hint towards his character as well. As the details of Alcock’s appearance in ‘Superman’ are still vague, it could range from a full-fledged cameo to merely implying her character exists within the universe. Fans are excited about this development, regardless of its extent.
Supergirl’s Appearance in ‘Superman’ Sets a Precedent For World-Building
As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to witness James Gunn, Peter Safran, and their creative team’s daring approach to expanding the DC universe, whether Alcock’s role in Superman turns out to be significant or minor. The strategy of weaving together multiple heroes across different projects, without forcing them or rushing through, promises a fully realized and breathtaking DC world. With the Lanterns series set to start filming soon, there’s a possibility that Nathan Fillion’s character Guy Gardener could also join the cast, furthering the trend of characters seamlessly transitioning between projects.
The initial DC Universe movie is expected to be bursting with superheroes, featuring characters such as Metamorpho, Hawk Girl, Mister Terrific, and now Supergirl. For James Gunn, this means meticulously crafting the film to prevent it from feeling overly crowded with too many elements. Since the franchise is steering clear of origin stories, this should enable characters to simply show up as they do in DC Comics. Fortunately, Gunn’s past experience handling multiple characters within an emotional narrative gives us confidence that he’ll manage this task effectively.
The lineup for the upcoming movie “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is coming together well, with the recent announcement of Momoa as Lobo and now David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham joining as Kara’s parents. If Superman‘s future projects are to continue, they will likely hinge on its success both critically and financially. However, fans can eagerly anticipate the release of this Craig Gillespie-directed film in summer 2026.
