“Supergirl” movie reveals first behind-the-scenes look with “House of the Dragon” star

Supergirl has arrived. House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock arrives on set for the start of filming on the next DC Studios movie, playing Kryptonian strongwoman and Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El.

James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios, revealed the first behind-the-scenes look at Alcock on set in London's Leavesden Studios. "Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with [director] Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El," Gunn wrote in a post on Threads. "Craig brings an incredible sensibility to this story, and Milly is every inch the unique #Supergirl envisioned by [Tom King], Bilquis Evely, and Ana Nogueira."

Comic book scribe King and artist Evely created Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the title this movie now adapts. Nogueira is the screenwriter of the film.

"Introducing Kara," Alcock herself wrote on Instagram with the same photo.

There's a lot to be hyped about this movie, which marks the latest addition to the new DC universe on screen. After the animated Max series Creature Commandos and next year's big-screen movie Superman — in which Alcock is first expected to appear as Kara — Supergirl not only adapts the beloved comic book arc from King and Evely but gives its lead star a bigger stage after she headlined the first portion of Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. Alcock proved her might as young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen before two-time Golden Globe nominee Emma D'Arcy portrayed the character as an adult.

The film will also mark an appearance by Jason Momoa, who returns to DC as galactic bounty hunter Lobo after playing Aquaman in the previous run of DC movies and shows.

"I collect comics, and I don't do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role,'" Momoa said in a previous interview. "I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it's a f--- yeah. I haven't received that call, so I don't want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play or ask me to audition, I'm there."

The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic followed a wayward Kara when she's approached by galactic warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll. Ruthye asks Supergirl for help hunting down those who killed her father and destroyed her world. Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) plays the villain Krem of the Yellow Hill, and Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) plays Ruthye.

Supergirl is scheduled to hit theaters on June 26, 2026. See the behind-the-scenes look above.
