"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Unveiled by James Gunn"

Excitement is building as DC's next major cinematic venture, *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*, has officially begun filming.

In his announcement, Gunn expressed his enthusiasm: "Thrilled to see camera roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El." This confirms that Craig Gillespie, known for directing *Cruella* and *I, Tonya*, will be directing this highly anticipated film, as previously reported in April.

While details about the plot remain under wraps, we know that *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* draws heavily from the acclaimed graphic novel by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira. The story follows an alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll, who seeks Supergirl's help to avenge her father's murder by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. This comic was nominated for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Awards and is a must-read for fans.

The cast is shaping up impressively, with Matthias Schoenaerts taking on the role of Krem, and Eve Ridley portraying Ruthye. The film will also feature David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El, Emily Beecham as her mother, and Jason Momoa, who has been recast in the DC universe as Lobo.

*Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* is set to be the second film in the newly rebooted DC universe, following James Gunn's *Superman*, which is slated for release this summer. Other upcoming projects include *The Batman Part II*, which may or may not connect to Gunn's broader cinematic universe, and a rumored *Clayface* movie directed by Mike Flanagan.
