James Gunn is ready to blast the DC Universe into orbit, and he’s letting Supergirl steer the spaceship. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the cosmic sequel to Superman, starring Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, Clark Kent’s badass older cousin, is arriving soon.
With Matthias Schoenaerts as the shady Krem of the Yellow Hills and Eve Ridley as the plucky Ruthye Marye Knoll, this movie promises to take us on an intergalactic rollercoaster. Why Supergirl? Gunn swears by the script’s sheer brilliance, and honestly, who can blame him? Buckle up, DC fans. This is gonna be one stellar ride.
James Gunn Shares Details On Supergirl Movie
James Gunn is putting quality over quantity in the DC Universe, and his Supergirl pick proves it. While he wasn’t dead set on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow being the second film, Ana Nogueira’s knockout script and killer director sealed the deal. According to Omelette (translated by Comic Book Resources), Gunn said, “Other films were written, but they weren’t as good as this one.”
What’s his guiding light at DC Studios? Simple, good movies first, galaxy-brain narratives second. Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran want to keep things real by prioritizing solid stories over forcing an elaborate cinematic puzzle. “Quality comes first,” Gunn declared, adding that he’s not about sacrificing today’s movie magic for tomorrow’s grand plans.
What Is Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow All About?
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow promises to finally shine a much-deserved spotlight on Kara Zor-El, Superman’s older, often-overlooked cousin. Set in James Gunn’s DCU, the movie dives into Kara’s complex journey, drawing from the acclaimed 2021–2022 comic series of the same name. Unlike Clark Kent’s Earth-centric heroism, Kara’s story unfolds across a cosmic landscape, blending tragedy, resilience, and a quest for belonging.
The 2026 film aims to reintroduce Supergirl as a powerful, dynamic leader, not just a sidekick in Superman’s shadow. With top-tier casting and rich source material, it’s poised to redefine Kara’s legacy in the DCU as a force worth celebrating.
For Gunn, it’s all about the story at hand, not an endless chain of Easter eggs or setups. And with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow leading the charge after Superman, the DC Universe’s new era promises big stakes and heartfelt storytelling. Your move, Marvel!
