Deadline reports that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has cast 3 Body Problem's Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle. The 12-year-old's star is on the rise after playing Follower in D.B. Weiss, David Benioff, and Alexander Woo's splashy Netflix series but this is her biggest role to date. 

As the trade explains, "In [the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book], the bad guy is Krem of the Yellow Hill, who kills a young alien girl’s father. She draws Supergirl into the conflict. Knolle is a noble and honorable warrior who travels across the galaxy with Supergirl to hunt Krem for killing her father in cold blood."

This movie appears to be a direct adaptation of Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic of the same name, so Ridley will likely have a major role as Ruthye in this story alongside Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is assembling an impressive cast as Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) was recently tapped to play the lead villain, Krem. Superman's Krypto is expected to also play a major role in the story.

Alcock is currently the biggest star in the DC Studios project after receiving widespread acclaim for her work in House of the Dragon

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to be the second DCU title released by DC Studios and will be helmed by Cruella director Craig Gillespie. Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries) has penned the screenplay after originally being hired to write the Supergirl movie starring The Flash's Sasha Calle.

In the DC Studios movie, 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.

When Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was first announced, Gunn said, "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," he concluded.

Before taking centre stage in her own solo outing, we expect Alcock's Supergirl to make her DCU debut in Superman next summer. As for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, it's set to arrive in theaters on June 26, 2026.

Love the comic. Can’t wait for this

@MisterBones - love love love this comic, love the art, love how they depicted super girl. For me it was an instant classic, in the sense I’d go back for repeat reads many times. So far only read twice but I’ll surely read it a third before the movie drops.

Three Body Problem was a great show, but Netflix shot themselves in the foot by releasing it all at once. It could've been the main discussion for weeks, and that fifth episode even for months.

Anyway, I don't really know much about the actress or the character, so I guess we'll see.

@bkmeijer1 - whaaat, if you haven’t read that comic, next time you got the free time, dive into it. It’s top tier, not just as a super girl comic but Superman mythic in general. And it should help that the art is beautiful. Whatever year it came out I remember saying it was the best comic I read that year

@whoknows - I'm definitely planning to closer to when the movie is releasing. The premise got me interested for sure

Why would you start shooting a supergirl movie right after you finish filming superman? What if superman bombs? And your universe is DOA.

@Superheroking - You're proposing that studios wait to see how each movie pans out before starting production on the next movie? So, just one movie every two years?

@Superheroking - if Superman flops that doesn’t necessarily mean Supergirl will. Justice League bombed hard and it had Aquaman in it yet his solo movie went on to cross a Billion

This is probably one of the strongest Supergirl storylines ever in the comics. Hope they don't blow it because the character development for Kara was gold.

@ModHaterSLADE - I haven’t read much of super girls stuff, I read one and two after I read this just to see if it peaked my interest and nah. This was awesome. I’ve read plenty of Superman though, and I found this to be just as compelling as the best Superman comics I’ve read. Just the whole way they shaped her story and honed in on how much she’s lost. Gives her a way different origin and reason to fight than Clark. And I appreciate that, she could easily be a carbon copy but female, I also think it’s really fitting for Gunn just because of all the space travel, the atmosphere and background characters have a similar vibe to the background of guardians

@whoknows - Yeah, I think this space opera take on the character is pretty exciting.

Even though he doesn't look like Bruce Wayne and he's french, after The Count of Monte Cristo, I could totally buy Pierre Niney as a haunted Batman and a hard father figure for a young deranged Robin. He definitely has the talent to deliver it. I would hope that the studio would at least give him the benefice of the doubt considering how magnificent he is in one of the hardest roles to portray (and one which is VERY Batman-like).

@Amuro - I'm a MASSIVE fan of The Count of Monte Cristo and was excited AF when I heard that this was being made but I got turned off of this after finding out some massive changes made to the story, especially it's end. I heard that Pierre Niney was pretty good as the Count though.

I'll wait and take chances on the upcoming Sam Claflin miniseries.

@TheLight - There are some changes to the story and it's definitely more actionized than the source material but it works quite well actually. In my opinion, the only thing that doesn't work in the movie are the masks (because it's pretty much impossible to not recognize the Count as Edmond Dantes considering how much the Count still looks like Pierre Ninet).

I can only advise you to give it a chance. For my part, it's the best movie I've seen this year with The Wild Robot. I actually think the trailer doesn't give the best impression, but the movie is phenomenal and the soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece.

@FusionWarrior - it does have huge western vibes, I mean she first appears in the background of bar. Which was such an awesome intro for her character.
