The upcoming "Supergirl" movie, a key component of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe, is officially in the works with a release date set for June 26, 2026. Directed by Craig Gillespie, known for his work on "I, Tonya" and "Cruella," the film will star Milly Alcock, acclaimed for her role in "House of the Dragon," as the titular Kryptonian heroine. 

The movie, now simply titled "Supergirl," was previously known as "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," directly referencing the influential comic book series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely that will serve as its primary inspiration. The narrative is set to be a "science fiction epic" that will introduce a more "hardcore" and jaded version of Kara Zor-El. 

This iteration of Supergirl will present a stark contrast to her cousin, Superman. Having been raised on a fragment of Krypton and witnessing the death and destruction of her home, this Kara is a more hardened individual. 

The story will reportedly follow her on a galactic journey of revenge. The cast includes Matthias Schoenaerts as the antagonist Krem of the Yellow Hills, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye, a young alien seeking vengeance for her father's death, who joins forces with Supergirl. This adaptation promises a deeper, more complex exploration of the character, delving into her trauma and showcasing a significantly different path from the Clark Kent audiences are familiar with.
