SUPERGIRL: Everything We Know So Far

James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe is preparing to dazzle global cinemas next year with the release of Superman: Legacy. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. A year later, the big screen will welcome Kal-El’s cousin, Kara—better known as Supergirl. This marks her return to cinemas after more than four decades with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Here’s the lowdown on what to expect from DC Studios’ latest adventure with the Girl of Steel.

Title and Vision

The film bears the title Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, drawing inspiration from the 2021-2022 comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. It’s the second installment in James Gunn’s "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" saga. This chapter promises to blend mythic themes with cosmic narratives.

Exploring the Plot

Supergirl’s upcoming escapade is more than just a superhero tale. Kara Zor-El, Superman’s feisty cousin, embarks on an interstellar trek on her 21st birthday. She is accompanied by her loyal companion, Krypto the Superdog. During her cosmic journey, Kara crosses paths with Ruthye, an alien girl seeking vengeance against Krem of the Yellow Hills. Unlike Superman, Kara’s been shaped by witnessing her home planet’s demise at age 14. This experience renders her more cynical than her Earth-raised cousin, highlighting her distinct perspective on justice.

Behind-The-Scenes Magic

Directed by Craig Gillespie, known for I, Tonya and Cruella, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow promises cinematic brilliance. The screenplay comes from Ana Nogueira, familiar to many as an actor from The Vampire Diaries. James Gunn and Peter Safran, DC Studios’ masterminds, are producing. Gunn praises Nogueira’s screenplay as surpassing his highest expectations, a sentiment mirrored in his notes from The Hollywood Reporter. Gillespie’s collaboration is marked by creative synergy, building anticipation for this ambitious project.

Star-Studded Cast

Taking on the role of Kara is House of the Dragon’s breakout star, Milly Alcock. She’s set to channel the fierce spirit of Supergirl. Joining her in a villainous capacity is Belgium’s Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills. Though not confirmed, fans speculate on a cameo by David Corenswet, potentially connecting Supergirl’s journey to her more famous cousin.

Mark Your Calendars

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is slated for a theatrical release across the globe on June 26, 2026. With a compelling storyline and seasoned creative talent backing the film, fans of DC’s universe are in for a cosmic treat. The countdown to Kara Zor-El’s cinematic resurgence has officially begun.
