By August Tales
Matthias Schoenaerts Joins Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
Matthias Schoenaerts, known for his role in The Regime, takes a dark turn as a villain in the upcoming film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. This electrifying addition to the DCU is poised to light up the silver screen on June 26, 2026, much to the anticipation of fans.
Seemingly unstoppable, Milly Alcock, known for her role in House of the Dragon, steps into the grand shoes of the titular role. Additionally, she is rumored to appear in James Gunn’s forthcoming Superman flick, starring David Corenswet. Hence, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow slots itself as the second feature in the DCU. It follows closely in the wake of Superman’s expected theater debut.
The Villain We’ve Been Waiting For
The villainous role Schoenaerts will masterfully craft is Krem of the Yellow Hills. He is a notorious swordsman and archer, infamous for annihilating a young alien girl’s family and gravely injuring superpet Krypto. The plot centers on Supergirl, enlisted by the orphaned alien girl. Revenge, it seems, is a dish served superhero-style.
Craig Gillespie, the mind behind Cruella, holds the directorial reins. Ana Nogueira provides the storyline for this Supergirl offering, adapted from the self-named DC comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.
Production Secrets and Matthias Schoenaerts’ Legacy
The specifics surrounding Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow remain tightly sealed. However, production is set to kick-off either late this year or early 2025. Notably, apart from his role in The Regime, opposite Kate Winslet, Schoenaerts’ acting portfolio packs some hefty punch.
His brimming resume includes performances in standout films like Loft, Bullhead, Rust and Bone, The Drop, Disorder, Far from the Madding Crowd, The Danish Girl, Red Sparrow, The Mustang, and The Old Guard. Additionally, he also graced films like Daens, Any Way the Wind Blows, Ellektra, Love Belongs to Everyone, Black Book, Left Bank, My Queen Karo, The Pack, The Gang of Oss, and many more.
This powerhouse of a performer isn’t just making waves on screen – he’s picking up accolades as he goes. Awards from distinguished platforms like the Berlin International Film Festival and the César Award showcase his talent.
As it stands, mark your calendars for June 26, when Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow brings a fresh wave of superhero action to cinemas.
