RUMOR: SUPERGIRL's Krem Of The Yellow Hills Will Be Far More Monstrous Than His Comic Book Counterpart

A Supergirl rumour sheds new light on plans for Krem Of The Yellow Hills, and it sounds like that version of the character will be far more monstrous, as he "[carries] dead alien rats with him to eat."

Last September, we learned that Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) will play the lead villain in Supergirl opposite Milly Alcock. 

Schoenaerts is taking on the role of Krem of the Yellow Hills. The big bad in Tom King and Billquis Evely's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book, Krem kills the father of a young alien girl, who then enlists the Maiden of Might on her revenge mission. However, the DCU's version will look quite a bit different from his comic book counterpart. 

According to scooper Daniel Richtman, Krem has been reimagined for his big screen debut, and "looks more like a monster" who "[carries] dead alien rats with him to eat."

It's unclear what has led to the change, but seeing as the version on the page is a shirtless guy with a beard who wields a bow and arrow, you can probably see why the decision was made to make him a little more threatening. After all, Supergirl is every bit as powerful as her cousin, Superman, and needs a foe capable of pushing her to her limits.

We've had a teaser poster for Supergirl, and based on when the first trailer for Superman was released, chances are we'll get a proper first look at the Woman of Tomorrow before 2025 is over.

In June, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn was asked about casting Milly Alcock as the Maiden of Might (a decision made before Craig Gillespie was hired), and shared, "I wanted her to be this little pixie-ish, but very attitudinal character. [Milly] was the first person I brought up."

Gunn later credited Gillespie with "[amping] up" the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills, a character who debuted in the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book. "Dude, wait till you see how scary he is in the movie," he teased, reiterating that Matthias Schoenaerts is "scary," "creepy," and "cool" in the role. 

Recently, Alcock reflected on the experience of landing the biggest role of her career. "During a screen test, you’re in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you’re all dressed as the character. [The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage."

"For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit!" the House of the Dragon star admitted. "But it’s just fear! That’s what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear."

In Supergirl, Supergirl travels across the galaxy to celebrate her 21st birthday with Krypto the Superdog. Along the way, she meets a young woman named Ruthye and winds up on a murderous quest for revenge.

The cast includes Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Jason Momoa as Lobo, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze. Craig Gillespie directs from a script by Ana Nogueira.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.

He better not shoot anyone in the head in cold blood.

Otherwise he'll get a very very stern talking to, and a strong lecture from Kal-El....
....

...

....and then a team-up follow-up movie.

Some finger-wagging and rag-dolling by that adorable Krypto might even come into play.

@spr0cks - Gunn would probably make her give him a blowjob considering how sick in the head he is. A horrible writer and an even worse person.

@spr0cks - Don't really care for Supergirl, but at least it won't be Gunn directing or writing this one.

He excels when he's dealing with obscure characters, but he should stay far away from established ones.

@WalletsClosed - what does it say about you, that in your fan fiction about James Gunn, those “sick” words are the words that you dreamt up and put to paper?

Get help.

@spr0cks - It's hilarious how you guys reach to get some weird point across.

Heroes teaming up with their arch enemy at some point has been a long standing trope for decades. Man, Loki killed hundreds and he is still Thor's buddy brother in all their movies.

Also you do know that Lex went to prison right? Did you want Superman to execute him instead?

@spr0cks - Your complaint is that Superman didn't kill Lex Luthor? Have you ever read a Superman comic?
TheNameIsWayne
TheNameIsWayne - 9/9/2025, 2:18 PM
@WalletsClosed - So because Gunn included an orgy scene in an adult rated show (which have been in many other adult shows as well eg Spartacus), that means to you that he had the actress Milly Alcock give him a blowjob?

What the [frick] is wrong with you??

More slop for the masses. The budget on this will be massive if this is a true adaptation and they're even adding stuff? DOA incoming.

There's no hope for this movie. A girlboss Mary Sue bratty drunken Supergirl. Who asked for this???

Reboot the MCU and DCU

Girl boss ✔️
Mary Sue ✔️
"Who asked for this?" ✔️

Not sure how drunken and bratty align with these, seems more like a collection of buzzwords, but we'd expect nothing more from you.

@WalletsClosed - "The budget on this will be massive if this is a true adaptation" wtf are you on about? Do you expect them to film in space? Holy shnikes. It'll be 200-225 just like Superman, and it'll easily turn a profit. Snyder is never coming back muahaha

@radamo3 - Rent free? Most of these comments take me under 30 seconds to write. I don't even spend 10 minutes in total on this website every 24 hours.

My question to you is, what will you shill over when the MCU and DCU fails?

@bobevanz - "It'll be 200-225 just like Superman"

If it's anywhere near this, it'll be the biggest box office bomb in history as this movie won't even make 300 million at the box office. No one cares about a drunken, bratty, girlboss Supergirl who calls her cousin a bitch. The budget should be 70 million MAX and even that's pushing it. Better yet, this garbage shouldn't be made at all

Nice projection though

@WalletsClosed - Don’t worry about what I’ll shill — worry about what you’ll do with all that free time once you’re done rage-posting about movies you don’t even watch.

RE : "It'll be 200-225 just like Superman, and it'll easily turn a profit."

Snyder's Man of Steel turned a bigger profit (and grossed MORE at the box office) for WB in 2013, than Gunn's Superman 2025 did in 2025.

I just thought I'd put that FACT out there for the class to enjoy.

A FACT that we shall ALWAYS have, and which will always remain true.

You oughta take your own advice and stop worrying about what other people post and do with their own free time - either now or when the DCU or MCU fail.

You're the reason we post what we do and how we do.
Because (people like) you are so easy to trigger.
