As per Deadlinethe filmmaker and co-CEO of DC Studios is about to screentest three actresses for the position — Milly Alcock ,Dragon House), Emilia Jones (COD), and Meg Donnelly (Zombiesthe final of them beforehand voiced Supergirl within the animated Legion of Tremendous-Heroes movie. The exams are scheduled to happen inside the ‘subsequent month or so’, with the character first making a cameo look in a DC challenge earlier than taking centre stage within the standalone Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow movie.

DC Studios co-chairs Gunn and Peter Safran first introduced Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in early 2023, when detailing how their DC Universe The chapter ‘Gods and Monsters’ would run for the subsequent 8-10 years, connecting storylines throughout films, TV exhibits, animation, and video video games. Drawing from writer Tom King’s model, the movie will current a jaded model of Kara Zor-El, who grew up on a floating chunk of planet Krypton and watched folks round her die in devastating methods for 14 straight years, earlier than coming to Earth. “She’s far more hardcore. She’s not precisely the Supergirl we’re used to seeing,” Gunn described on the time. Nevertheless, her cousin Clark Kent/ Kal-el arrived when he was simply an toddler and was raised by loving dad and mom, ultimately changing into a logo of hope for Metropolis.
