Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Films may currently be in production on the first of the studio’s rebooted and reimagined superhero franchise pictures, but that doesn’t mean executives can’t make announcements about the second one.
“Supergirl: World of Tomorrow” will hit theaters (and IMAX) on June 26, 2026, as per reports. Milly Alcock, the 24-year-old Australian actress, will play Supergirl, also known as Kara Zor-El, also known as Kara Danvers, the cousin of Kal-El, the Last Son of Krypton, also known as Kal-El, also known as Clark Kent, also known as Superman. Kara Zor-El, by the way, should not be confused with Kara Zor-l, also known as Karen Starr, also known as Power Girl, who is also Superman’s cousin, but, like, from a different universe. It’s complicated. Alcock is best known for the part of Young Rhaenyra Targaryen in “House of the Dragon.”

Over a year ago, James Gunn and Peter Safran became Co-Producers and Co-CEOs of DC Studios, even though the Dceu was struggling. Fans were upset because the universe was getting rebooted despite some successful movies among many failures.
Safran and Gunn revealed a list of upcoming movies, including the new live-action film ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.’ With recent updates about the movie, we’ve put together a summary for you.
In ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ the spotlight shifts to a Supergirl who is more world-weary and cynical
‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ draws inspiration from the comic series penned by Tom King. Originally published from 2021 to 2022, the limited series presents Supergirl in a darker, more nuanced portrayal. Following the devastation of her home planet Krypton, Supergirl finds herself marooned on a drifting fragment of her world. Raised amidst harsh conditions and profound loss, she grapples with significant mental trauma, having witnessed...

More than a year ago, James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios as Co-Producers and Co-CEOs, despite Dceu severely underperforming, fans were disappointed and angry. Mostly due to the universe being completely rebooted despite having a few hits among a lot of failures.
Safran and Gunn announced a slate of movies, among them being the new live-action movie ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.’ Considering that the movie recently got quite a few updates, we decided to summarize everything in this neat guide.
‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ will focus on a different, more jaded Supergirl
‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ will be based on the comic written by Tom King. The limited series ran from 2021 to 2022 and painted Supergirl in a much darker light than we’re used to seeing her in. During the destruction of her home planet Krypton, Supergirl was stuck on a piece of the planet that drifted away.

As expected, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the second Dcu movie to release in theaters after James Gunn's Superman. Warner Bros. has just announced that our new Girl of Steel will take flight on June 26, 2026.
The studio also announced dates for New Line’s Mortal Kombat 2, which will hit theaters on October 24, 2025, and Barbarian director Zach Creggar's second feature, Weapons, which will arrive on January 16, 2026.
Craig Gillespie is set to direct Woman of Tomorrow, which will star Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in the title role.
This take on Kara Zor-El a said to be a "less earnest and more edgy version of the iconic superheroine" as Gunn looks to move away from "previous depictions of the Girl of Steel, particularly the long-running CBS/CW series fronted by Melissa Benoist."

DC Studios is wasting no time in setting a release date for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow now that the movie has found its director.
The high-profile movie will fly into cinemas on June 26, 2026, DC and Warner Bros. announced Tuesday. It is the second film to receive a release date since James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought in to overhaul DC under the new banner DC Studios. The first was Superman, which Gunn is currently shooting for a July 2025 release date.
Flimmaker Craig Gillespie was tapped by Gunn and Safran to shepherd Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon). She’ll play Superman’s Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman. The feature film, from a script by Ana Nogueira, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic, and will depart from the earnest take on the character seen on the CW Supergirl series.

“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is set to debut on June 26, 2026 in Imax, the second feature in the newly rebooted DC Universe to secure its place on the release calendar, following James Gunn’s “Superman.” The film stars Milly Alcock (“House of the Dragon”) as the titular Girl of Steel, with Craig Gillespie (“Cruella”) directing from a script by Ana Nogueira (“The Vampire Diaries”).
The project — adapted from a 2022 comic book series of the same title, by Tom King and Bilquis Evely — takes Supergirl away from Earth as she travels through the cosmos with her trusty canine, Krypto the Superdog, in order to escape a life stuck perpetually under the shadow of her cousin, Superman. She encounters an alien girl named Ruthye, who is bent on revenge for the death of her father, and recruits Supergirl to help her.

A first look at Creature Commandos is right around the corner, Superman is still shooting, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow should begin production later this year. Oh, and work on Peacemaker season 2 is also well underway.
The new Dcu is rapidly taking shape and it's looking increasingly likely Max's Lanterns will be next to reveal its cast and creative team.
It's previously been reported that DC Studios has enlisted Chris Mundy (a writer and producer for Criminal Minds) as Lanterns' showrunner, and scooper @MyTimeToShineH is today claiming that comic book writer Tom King is a co-writer on the show.
We know he's part of Gunn's Dcu braintrust and penned the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow series the movie is named after and based on. He also counts the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Mister Miracle among his many DC Comics credits.

It’s been a while since Gunn and Safran took over what was previously known as Dceu and revamped it as Dcu. Over a year ago, Gunn and Safran outlined their plans for ‘Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters.’ In January 2023, the DC cinematic universe was described as undergoing significant but not complete changes, with plans for a multi-year storyline.
James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed the initial projects of this new slate on January 31. They announced the writers involved in crafting the overarching story: Drew Goddard, Jeremy Slater, Christina Hodson (who penned ‘The Flash’), Christal Henry, and comic book writer Tom King. The strategy included dividing the narratives into chapters, with the first one named ‘Gods and Monsters.’ This chapter encompassed five films: ‘Superman’ (2025), ‘The Authority,’ ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ and ‘Swamp Thing.’

Not much is known about the movie except that it’s adapted from Tom King’s comic book series ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ illustrated by Bilquis Evely, and the screenplay was written by Ana Nogueira.

The roster of directors aboard the DC universe projects being overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran is growing. According to Deadline, I, Tonya/Cruella director Craig Gillespie is now nailing down the finer points of a deal to direct Supergirl.
While it has yet to be officially confirmed – these days, that often tends to be via James Gunn on social media, and at time of writing he hasn't mentioned it – Gillespie is surely a good shout to handle the movie, which will star House Of The Dragon's Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin. We're promised a harder-edged Kara than in the recent TV series; this take on the character was raised on a barren rock chipped from the destroyed Krypton, who sees everyone around her die before reaching Earth.

We're promised a harder-edged Kara than in the recent TV series; this take on the character was raised on a barren rock chipped from the destroyed Krypton, who sees everyone around her die before reaching Earth.

Say what you will about superhero fatigue in recent months, but there's no denying that James Gunn is assembling quite a list of talent for his new DC Universe. Even though he's right in the middle of filming for "Superman", that hasn't stopped him and co-ceo Peter Safran from looking to the future for another superhero movie coming down the pipeline. After news broke earlier this year that "House of the Dragon" star Millie Alcock would be suiting up as Superman's superpowered cousin, the upcoming "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" film now has its director. That's maybe not the order of hiring we'd usually expect to see, but welcome to franchise filmmaking, folks!
According to Deadline, none other than "I, Tonya" director Craig Gillespie is currently "in talks" to helm "Supergirl." Film enthusiasts likely know him for 2007's Ryan Gosling-starring "Lars and the Real Girl" and Margot Robbie's Oscar-nominated performance in "I, Tonya,...

DC looks to have found its Supergirl director in Craig Gillespie, the man behind the camera for films like Cruella, I, Tonya, and GameStop stock drama Dumb Money. In Deadline’s exclusive report, the outlet says DC plans to shoot the female-led adventure in Q4 after completing work on James Gunn’s Superman film. House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock stars in the highly-anticipated feature as Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) for the story based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Last year, Gunn remarked that when it comes to Supergirl, “we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and...

“I, Tonya” director Craig Gillespie is in talks to direct the upcoming “Supergirl” film at Warner Bros.’ DC Studios.
The film, titled “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” is based on the DC comics run of the same name by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. It’s set to shoot later this year, after James Gunn’s “Superman” wraps filming. “House of the Dragon” breakout Milly Alcock will star in the titular role.
Alcock won the role after an extensive casting process during which Gunn and co-ceo Peter Safran flew multiple actors, including Meg Donnelly, to Atlanta for onscreen auditions on the “Superman: Legacy” set.
“Milly was the First person I brought up to Peter for this role, well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics,” Gunn said on social media upon her casting. “I was watching ‘House of the Dragon’ and thought she might have the edge,...

It’s up, up and away for director Craig Gillespie, who is in talks to helm Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
The filmmaker joins James Gunn (Superman) and Andy Muschietti (the Batman feature The Brave and the Bold) among the filmmakers building out the slate of projects for DC Studios, the Warner Bros. division led by Gunn and Peter Safran.
With Gillespie, DC gains a tried and true helmer known for putting a grounded yet stylish spin on projects such as Disney’s Cruella, the skating drama I, Tonya and TV’s Pam & Tommy. He was last in theaters with the GameStop movie Dumb Money.
Supergirl stars House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock, who will play Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman. The feature is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic and will depart from the earnest take on the character audiences may know from the CW Supergirl series.

Exclusive: Cruella and I, Tonya filmmaker Craig Gillespie is in talks to direct Supergirl for Warner Bros’ DC Studios, we can tell you first.
The plan is for DC to shoot the movie for Q4 after they’ve completed James Gunn’s Superman, which is shooting in Georgia for a July 11, 2025 theatrical release. DC bosses Gunn and Peter Safran are producing. DC EVP Chantal Nong is executive producing, we hear.
As we previously reported, House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock won the role of Supergirl, and she’ll appear in another DC project before making her big-screen debut as the Angel of the Sky.

“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” Zack Snyder lit the fuse of several fandoms while appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience after saying Batman is “irrelevant” if he can’t kill, and more people saw Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire on Netflix than Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar cinematic sensation, Barbie, in theaters. During his chin-wag with Rogan, Snyder expressed his gratitude for partnering with Netflix for several projects, including Army of the Dead, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, and upcoming features like Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, Planet of the Dead, and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.
According to Zack Snyder, he’s done the math and believes more people streamed the first chapter of his Rebel Moon saga on Netflix than Gerwig’s $1.4 billion grossing pink-coded box office blockbuster. Math was never my strong subject in school,...

House of the Dragon actor Milly Alcock is ready to go up, up, and away as Supergirl for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s re-imagining of the Dcu. Alcock’s casting as Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl) for upcoming DC film projects happened yesterday, and since then, fans have been wondering how the actress beat out others for the high-profile part. Thankfully, Gunn shed some light on the subject through his Threads account, saying Alcock was the first person he envisioned as Superman’s Kryptonian cousin.
“In case you missed this exciting news yesterday. Strangely, Milly was the First person I brought up to Peter (Safran) for this role, well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics,” Gunn said on Threads.
“I was watching House of the Dragon & thought she might have the edge, grace & authenticity we needed for the Dcu’s Supergirl. And now here we are.

Milly Alcock has been cast as Supergirl for upcoming Warner Bros. projects in the new DC Universe helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Reports published on Monday revealed that the House of the Dragon star screen-tested for Gunn and Safran earlier this week, and has been officially casted as the Kryptonian cousin of Superman for several titles. She’s expected to make her debut in a different Dcu project, potentially the upcoming Superman: Legacy, before starring in her own film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
When exactly Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will arrive is unknown, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the film may begin shooting as soon as this fall. Though it has yet to lock-in a director, Ana Nogueira is writing the script.

From flying dragons to flying through the air, Milly Alcock has been confirmed as the new Supergirl for James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe of films. It had been rumored last week that it was down to the "House of the Dragon" star, "Coda" breakout star Emilia Jones, and Disney Channel darling Meg Donnelly (who also voices the character in many animated projects for DC), but as was confirmed by Gunn himself on Instagram, Alock has nabbed the job.
"Milly is a fantastically talented young actor, and I'm incredibly excited about her being a part of the Dcu," Gunn wrote in his caption. "Yes, I first became aware of her in 'House of the Dragon,' but I was blown away by her varied auditions and screen tests for 'Supergirl.' She embodies Kara as envisioned by [Tom King, Bilquis Evely,] and Ana Nogueria." The...

James Gunn didn’t take long to decide on his new Supergirl as The Wrap reports that House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock is now in talks to take on the role.
It’s expected that Supergirl will make her debut in a future Dcu project, and while it’s been assumed that the project will be Superman: Legacy, it could easily be something else. Milly Alcock will then take on the leading role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. THR adds that the movie could start shooting as early as this fall, assuming Warner Bros. is able to sign a director soon.
Milly Alcock was first reported to be up for the role earlier this month alongside Emilia Jones (Locke & Key), and Meg Donnelly (The Winchesters). Just last week, it was revealed that the list had been narrowed down to Alcock and Donnelly. Hollywood works fast… sometimes. Gunn confirmed the news on Instagram,...

Warner Bros.’ Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is taking flight with House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The actor screen-tested for writer-director Gunn last week, along with Meg Donnelly, who was also in contention for the role.
The film is partially inspired by the Tom King miniseries of the same name. Gunn and Safran have described this take as not the Supergirl audiences are used to. She will stand in contrast to her cousin, Superman. As Gunn told reporters in late January 2022: “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth.”

House of the Dragon actress Milly Alcock has landed the coveted role of Supergirl in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe.
The Australia-born Alcock played the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon.
She beat out Coda actress Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly, the latter who voiced Supergirl in such DC animated movies as Legion of Superheroes and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One.
Alcock is repped by CAA, Shanahan Management, Entertainment 360 and Curtis Brown.
There’s been buzz that the new Supergirl will appear in Gunn’s Superman Legacy, which is about to go before the cameras in Georgia, but that’s not 100%. What we know now is that she’ll appear in a DC-based project before starring in her solo feature, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. No director has been announced for Supergirl,...

The search for one of the more high-profile castings in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe is now in its final stages. After last year brought us the news that the new co-CEOs had officially hired David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult as the newest versions of Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, respectively, the trio of actors will soon be joined by one of two popular young actors for the role of Supergirl. Start placing your bets now, folks.

According to THR, screen tests for the role of Supergirl took place yesterday, with sources saying that the casting has been narrowed down to Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) and Meg Donnelly (The Winchesters).
DC Studios’ James Gunn and Peter Safran were said to be present for the Supergirl testing. The character is expected to be introduced in Superman: Legacy before taking the lead in her own movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Milly Alcock and Meg Donnelly were first mentioned as contenders for the Supergirl role two weeks ago, along with Emilia Jones (Locke & Key).

DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran were present.
Supergirl is a key part of Gunn and Safran’s plans as they piece together their slate for DC Studios. Warner Bros. Discovery hired the duo in late 2022 to reset the path for Warners’ movies focused on DC Comics characters.

What, exactly, is going on with DC? The answer is, a lot.
After an aborted attempt by Zack Snyder to create a unified universe of characters and subsequent successful one-offs like “Joker” and “The Batman,” Warner Bros. has installed James Gunn and Peter Safran as the new co-CEOs of DC Films, under which they will build out an interconnected Dcu of films, TV shows and video games over the next eight to 10 years. But first, there are those other DC movies still to be released, which Gunn and Safran said will exist as part of something called “Elseworlds” — essentially not Dcu canon, in a separate universe, but with the potential for those characters to cross over into the unified Dcu in the future. Which is how Jason Momoa can still play Aquaman in the Dcu after this reboot.
Other films like the upcoming sequels to “The Batman” and “Joker” will remain disconnected but continue on,...

This article contains MCU spoilers
Superheroes love their pets. Shortly after Superman debuted the genre in 1938, he and his other tights and capes friends gained their own pet sidekicks, including Beppo the Super-Monkey, Ace the Bat-hound, and Comet the Super-Horse. Although Marvel’s hipper approach in the early 60s precluded pet sidekicks as much as it did teen sidekicks, super-powered animals soon made their way onto Earth 616, including the Inhumans’ transporter Lockjaw, and Brightwind, the Asgardian pegasus of New Mutant Mirage.
While some of these creatures have made their way into live-action, the MCU has been a bit slower to debut super-powered animals, at least as pet sidekicks. As Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shows, animals with powers deserve their own character arcs, even if it’s as small as Cosmo getting mad at being called a bad dog. These animals aren’t really pets as much as they are members of the team!

Well, it’s official. After teasing that he was writing the upcoming Man of Steel reboot, “Superman: Legacy” and possibly directing it, Warner Bros. has announced today that writer/director James Gunn will indeed helm this Superman film he penned. The news comes on the heels of what can be called a premature leak. DC Studios writer Tom King let it slip earlier this week that Gunn would indeed be directing the film, but today, WB and DC Studios—of which Gunn is the co-chief (lol)—made it official.

When walking out of James Gunn's 2014 film "Guardians of the Galaxy," the 10th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this author heard several other audiences members talking about the film's post-credits stinger. In the epilogue, the vaguely villainous Collector (Benicio Del Toro) sat destitute among the ruins of his collection or rare cosmic antiquities. Only a few of his beloved baubles has survived a cosmic blast, including a dog from Earth. The dog, wearing a Soviet space suit, was clearly salvaged from the 1960s Russian space program wherein canines were sent up in rockets to test their safety. The dog in "Guardians" is not Laika, but a fictional dog named Cosmo. The Collector had been keeping it in a cage on a distant planet for decades.
As Cosmo gives the Collector a sympathetic lick, a voice from off-screen (Seth Green) immediately points out how gross the dog is. A...

When James Gunn laid out the first chapter of the new DC Universe slate earlier this year, he announced that he would be writing Superman: Legacy. Rumours soon spread that Gunn could direct the film as well, and Tom King may have confirmed it. During an interview with Comic Pop Returns, the DC Studios writer stated that Gunn “is the writer and director of the Superman movie.“
Nothing has been officially announced in regards to James Gunn directing Superman: Legacy, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if Gunn took the helm of the first new DC Universe movie. Gunn is typically quick to call out fake news on Twitter, but he hasn’t addressed this yet.

As Superman: Legacy will be focusing on a younger version of the character, that unfortunately means that Henry Cavill won’t be back.

Now this feature may not come back every week depending on how much the credits change issue to issue.

Even before James Gunn announced the upcoming slate for the newly-launched DC Studios that he heads with Peter Safran, we knew that superhero television was about to change. For years, DC succeeded on television where it had arguably struggled on film, thanks to the hugely successful Arrowverse on CW. From the gritty series Arrow that launched in 2012, the Arrowverse grew into a massive superhero soap opera, making up for the absence of the DC Trinity with fan-favorites like the Flash and the Atom, and rehabilitated D-listers like Wild Dog and Vibe.
But for all of its popularity and success, the Arrowverse is nearly over. With The Flash in its ninth and final season, and Superman & Lois officially not part of the same universe, the massive franchise seems to be at an end. And although Gunn has been clear that the DC Studios slate will not only include television offerings but...

James Gunn and Peter Safran have laid out their future plans for DC Studios, and the results are pretty exciting. Having the ship steered by someone with a clear vision and an obvious love of the source material is exactly what DC movies need. Speaking of comics, Gunn recently tweeted the inspirations behind DC's new direction. He was careful to say that while these books are significant to upcoming projects, DC Studios won't be adapting them all. It's great news because the comics serving as "touchstones" are all excellent!
DC Studios may not be directly adapting all the books Gunn mentioned, but we know one recent comic that is definitely getting a movie: "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow." The eight-issue miniseries from Tom King and Bilquis Evely first hit stands in 2021, wrapping up the following year.
It might seem surprising to adapt such a recent tale, but King and Evely have...

James Gunn announced a number of new DC movies and TV series earlier this week, but he’s continued to drop teases on social media. One of the big-screen projects announced was Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which will be based on comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, but there are other comics that have inspired James Gunn’s new DC Universe.
James Gunn took to Twitter to tease a few of the comics that will help shape the first chapter of the DC Universe.
We're talked a lot about Woman of Tomorrow, but these are more of the comics inspiring #DCStudios and the new #Dcu in these early days. That doesn't mean we're adapting all these comics, but that the feel, the look, or the tone of them are touchstones for our team. Check 'em out! pic.twitter.com/34KrVPeEL5
