James Gunn Announces Early 2025 Filming for ‘Supergirl’ and Reveals New Character Details

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the second major cinematic release in the DCU, following next year’s Superman. James Gunn is dedicated to reshaping the DCU into a respected cinematic universe, and according to his statements, we can expect something truly epic and extraordinary.

Gunn has praised the project, and recent rumors suggest that the script is emotionally powerful, offering a complex and moving story. This aligns with the source material, which is considered one of the best Supergirl narratives ever written.

While speaking to the media at New York Comic-Con, Gunn expressed his excitement for the project and shared some details about the film’s production. Read on for more information!

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to be released in 2026. If James Gunn’s words are accurate, the film will be fully prepared by then and will be positioned to capitalize on the potential success of Superman, which premieres next year. During his press conference in New York, Gunn shared the following insights about the movie’s production:

In this video, James Gunn confirms that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be based on Tom King’s acclaimed comic of the same name. While changes will be necessary to adapt an entire comic into a single film, the core story will remain intact.

Fans of King’s work will be pleased to hear this. Throughout the interview, Gunn’s excitement for the movie is palpable, hinting at something we’ve never seen before in comic book adaptations.

He also revealed two key details. First, filming for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to begin in England in January 2025. This timeline allows ample opportunity to create a great film and refine it into an even better cinematic experience.

The movie is expected to build upon the world introduced in Superman, where Supergirl will make her first appearance, albeit in a minor role.

The second exciting revelation was that Gunn has seen a screen test featuring Milly Alcock as Supergirl alongside the character Ruthye Marye Knoll, confirming her role in the film. While casting details are still under wraps, the confirmation of Ruthye has fans buzzing, and we can’t wait to see her on screen!
