“Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on ‘Supergirl,'” Gunn posted to social media, also calling out Alcock, director Craig Gillespie, screenwriter Ana Nogueira, and Tom King and Bilquis Evely, who wrote and designed the eponymous comic that inspired the movie. Alcock is joined by Matthias Schoenaerts (“The Old Guard”), who plays the lead villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills; Eve Ridley (“3 Body Problem”) as Ruthye Marye Knoll, the girl who recruits Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl) to bring Krem to justice for killing her father; and David Krumholtz (“Oppenheimer”) and Emily Beecham (“Cruella”) as Supergirl’s parents. Jason Momoa will also appear as the alien mercenary Lobo, and Krypto the Superdog will be along for the ride.
Alcock, a standout in the first season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” was cast as Kara Zor-El almost exactly a year ago after she auditioned wearing the Supergirl suit on the set of Gunn’s film, “Superman,” which has caused widespread (and, as yet, unconfirmed) speculation that she’ll first appear as Supergirl alongside her Kryptonian cousin when “Superman” premieres in July.
In his first presentation of the DC Studios slate with co-chief Peter Safran, Gunn said that this version of Supergirl will be “much more hardcore,” because Kara grew up watching the destruction of Krypton before she arrived on Earth. “She’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing,” Gunn said.
“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is slated to debut on June 26, 2026.
