"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," Gunn enthused in his post. This confirms that Craig Gillespie, renowned for directing Cruella and I, Tonya, will direct the film, as previously reported in April.

While plot details remain under wraps, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel of the same name by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira. The story follows an alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll, who recruits Supergirl to help avenge her father's murder at the hands of the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. The graphic novel, which earned a nomination for "Best Limited Series" at the 2022 Eisner Awards, is a must-read for fans.

Joining Alcock in the cast are Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, 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: Woman of Tomorrow is the second film in the newly rebooted DC universe, following James Gunn's Superman, set to hit theaters this summer. Other projects in development include The Batman Part II (which may or may not be connected to Gunn's cinematic universe) and a rumored Clayface movie directed by Mike Flanagan.
