Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to be the second DCU title released by DC Studios and we recently learned that Cruella director Craig Gillespie will helm the movie.
Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries) is writing the screenplay - she was also attached to the Supergirl movie starring The Flash's Sasha Calle - and House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock will play the titular hero.
If you've read the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book, you'll know that the series ends with a glimpse into the future and Kara Zor-El sporting a new costume which is less Supergirl and more Superwoman. Now, some new fan art by @jaxsonderr showcases what Alcock's version of the character could look like with that suit in the DCU.
"Milly was the first person I brought up to Peter for this role, well over a year ago, when I had only read the comics," DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said on social media when Alcock was cast. "I was watching 'House of the Dragon' and thought she might have the edge, grace and authenticity we needed."
In the 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.
Supergirl is expected to make her DCU debut in next year's Superman reboot, though we're only expecting Alcock to make a cameo appearance. It's unclear how closely her movie will stick to the comic of the same name, though it does sound like a pretty faithful adaptation based on Gunn's past comments.
