Supergirl Will Be the Next DCU Movie After Superman
James Gunn makes it clear: the next big production of the new DCU after Superman will be Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. According to Gunn himself, it wasn't something planned from the beginning, but when Ana Nogueira's script arrived, there was no doubt. A solid text, with personality and, according to the director himself, it stands out among all the projects they had in development. Quality comes first, even above the release schedule.
A Story with Cosmic Personality
The movie will be directed by Craig Gillespie, known for works like I, Tonya or Cruella, and will feature Milly Alcock in the role of Kara Danvers. The script is based on the comic miniseries written by Tom King, but also includes unpublished material, such as scenes that King wrote in his early drafts and never made it to the final comic. Among the most striking novelties: the appearance of Lobo, who will be played by Jason Momoa. The focus will be a galactic adventure, with Supergirl traveling through the cosmos to hunt down the killer of a young woman.
Gunn Prioritizes a Good Script Above All
James Gunn insists on his production philosophy: every DCU project will only move forward if the script is up to par. In fact, he reveals that they recently canceled an already approved movie because the script didn't meet the required level. Although he hasn't specified which one it was, the idea is clear: rather than having a phase full of titles, they prefer to go one by one, ensuring each story is worthwhile. A decision that, given the mixed reception of past DC movies, seems logical… or as we would say in CGI, better to render less but with higher quality.
The Schedule Is Still Under Construction
Scheduled for June 26, 2026, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the second major step in the new DC cinematic universe. Gunn promises they won't follow a forced narrative between movies just to connect characters, but that each title will have value on its own. Something that, deep down, sounds almost as utopian as expecting a render in Eevee to have the same quality as one in Cycles… but well, hope always floats 🌟.
