Recent rumors indicated that The Flash actress Sasha Calle would not be reprising the role of Kara Zor-El for the planned DC Studios reboot, and we now have confirmation that DC Studios will soon begin the search to find our new Woman of Tomorrow.

According to Deadline, screen-tests will get underway next month, and Milly Alcock, Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly are in the mix - although the report mentions that "there is a chance that the studio could make a straight offer to a movie star."

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is involved in the casting process, of course, as the trade also confirms that this new take on the Girl of Steel will make her debut in an earlier DCU project, which means there's a decent chance the character will show up in Superman: Legacy.

The search for a director to helm Woman of Tomorrow is ongoing.

Alcock will be best known for playing the younger Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen on the first season of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon. Jones played the lead in Apple's Best Picture winner, CODA, and has also appeared in Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth and Netflix series Locke & Key. Donnelly stars in Disney Channel’s Zombies franchise, and already has some experience with Supergirl having voiced the hero in the Legion of Superheroes and Justice League – Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One animated movies.

Gunn and Peter Safran announced the Supergirl reboot during their studio press day in January of last year. The project will be at least partially based on Tom King’s comic book series from 2022.

Said Gunn at the time, “In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore, she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”

Superman: Legacy is set to commence production at some point next month, so Supergirl's casting will likely be announced by then.

Assuming the role does go to Alcock, Jones or Donnelly, which actress would you most like to see take flight as the Girl of Steel in the DCU? Drop us a comment down below.

Milly would COOK. Never even considered her. Donnelly looks the most like I would imagine Kara to look though.

@RoberTiger - As far as looks go for the part:
I like Milly the most. She just seems to have the look down.
I do not like Emelia because she just doesn't look the part to me; not because she doesn't have blonde hair in that pic.
Donnley has 'resting b1tch-face' and I just don't wanna see Supergirl pissed off her whole movie.

@lazlodaytona - Based on this take on Kara, they may Want someone with "resting b-face"

I miss Laura Vandervoort.

@knomad - yeah, Vanderoort was great. I met her at the Superman Festival years back and she's even more pretty in person. Super kind too.

@HumanRubiksCube - no joke, simu Liu and Issa Rae were just on the golden globes joking about all the "white" roles they get to play.

All of them were about being alcoholics.

I swear, it's like they hear us joking about woke culture and want to make that real to spite us.

@HumanRubiksCube - dude, years back at the Superman festival (people dress up the whole weekend and have a big costume contest as their last event) this large, football player-like dude dressed as Supergirl. People loved it and he was a great sport.
When the contest came about, dude gets on stage in front of 100+ people and says, "Hi. I really am Superman but I ran into some pink kryptonite and, well .... here I am. And NO, I did not lose a bet."

3. Be hot.

@DocSpock - Dude they drool over the sexy ladies even more than we do. That’s what frustrates me the most about the last decade or so of shite Hollywood has been shoving down our throats. NO ONE likes to see movies about angry chicks who walk around for two hours with a scowl on their face.

We all just want to see the sexy guuurls and the beautiful ladies. Throw in the occasional Ripley or Sarah Connor too for good measure. And even then with those characters/films it’s the fellas coming out to see them not our sweet sweet angels.

@BruceWayng -

When Sarah Connor and Ripley were destroying stuff, that was serious boner material.

BruceWayng - 1/10/2024, 7:27 PM
@DocSpock - Those were probably the most confusing boner of my young life. Especially when Sarah was doing pull-ups

@BruceWayng -

I wish I could say that, but I was already 22 in 1979 when Alien came out. Then that Sarah Connor looked like my first wife. She was a world destroying b!tch too.

Clearly her time in the role for animation is being cut short by Crisis, now maybe she can do live action
