The first look atSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowhas been unveiled byDC Universestar Milly Alcock. After theDCU’s Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters"kicked off in 2024, DC Studios is currently busy with various films and TV shows that will expand James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new superhero franchise. With Kara Zor-El set to return to the big screen in the upcomingSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmovie, Alcock has revealed a first look at her take on Superman’s famous Kryptonian cousin.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrowwill be the second DC Studios movie to release, and filming is underway at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London, England.Alcockcelebrated the start of filming by revealing the first look at her as the Girl of Steel. Her photo was accompanied by the caption,“Introducing Kara,“with a rocket emoji. Check it out below.
OnX(formerly Twitter), James Gunn confirmed the filming start forSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, then praised Alcock and director Craig Gillespie, who previously directedI, TonyaandLars and the Real Girl.“Craig brings an incredible sensibility to this story,“Gunn wrote,“and Milly is every inch the unique Supergirl envisioned by Tom King, Bilquis Evely & Ana Nogueira.“Check out his post below.
TheSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmovie also stars Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, with DCEU star Jason Momoa boarding the DCU as DC Comics' Lobo. David Krumholtz recently joinedSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowas Kara’s father, Zor-El, while Emily Beecham will be playing her mother.
What The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Set Photo Reveals
While the franchise will feature the Kryptonian cousins at the same time, it has been unclear whether Alcock’sSupergirl costume in the DCUwould have the same House of El symbol as Kal-El. This is especially true given how some of the recent DC Comics runs have seen Supergirl and Superman with different emblems of the S-shield. But thanks to the firstSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowset photo,both of the Kryptonian icons will have the Kingdom Come version of the S-logo in the DCU.
Another key detail to pay attention to, especially for fans who have read theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcomic, is thatAlcock’s DCU set photo seemingly gives a first look at the bar that Kara is seen hanging out in the book. With theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmovie adapting Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s comic of the same name, it is not shocking that a key location from their story has been created for the DCU adaptation. Time will tell what other glimpses Alcock and DC Studios will reveal fromSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowover the coming weeks.
Our Take On The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Set Photo
For this to be the first look atSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,the photo is a perfect tease of the DCU film while leaving room for questions about the overall story and approach. With principal photography underway, it remains to be seen how soon it will be until Alcock’s full Supergirl costume is revealed, as well as a first look at her fellowSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcast. Hopefully, the DCU will reveal more fromSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowsooner rather than later.
