Cameras have started rolling on DC’s next big film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. To celebrate, DC boss James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl…sort of.
In a post on Bluesky, Gunn announced that cameras have begun to roll on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow starring House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. He also shared a photo of Alcock sitting in her actor’s chair, so technnically it’s a first look at the character.

“Thrilled to see camera roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomonal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El.” Gunn’s post also confirms that Gillespie, the director of Cruella and I, Tonya, will be at the helm of the movie as we reported last April.
No further details have been revealed on the movie other than it is based heavily on the graphic novel of the same name by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. The comic tells a standalone story of an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll who enlists the help of Supergirl to get revenge for the murder of her father by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. It was nominated for “Best Limited Series” at the 2022 Eisner Award and is very much worth a read if you haven’t already.
Matthias Schoenaerts will play Krem while Eve Ridley will play Ruthye. Other members of the cast includes 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 is the second movie in the new DC universe after James Gunn’s Superman hits theaters this summer. Other movies in the works include The Batman Part II (which may or may not be related to Gunn’s movie-verse) and reportedly a Clayface movie from Mike Flanagan.
