As expected, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the second DCU movie to hit theatres after James Gunn’s Superman. Warner Bros. has just announced that our new Girl of Steel will take flight on June 26, 2026.
The studio also announced release dates for other anticipated films. New Line’s Mortal Kombat 2 will arrive in theaters on October 24, 2025, and Barbarian director Zach Creggar’s second feature, Weapons, will be released on January 16, 2026.
Craig Gillespie is set to direct Woman of Tomorrow, which will star Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in the title role.
This version of Kara Zor-El is described as a “less earnest and more edgy version of the iconic superheroine,” as Gunn aims to move away from previous depictions, particularly the long-running CBS/CW series starring Melissa Benoist.
Gunn recently revealed that he had Alcock in mind for the role of Supergirl since seeing her performance in HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series.

“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,” the filmmaker posted to Threads. “I was watching House of the Dragon and thought she might have the edge, grace and authenticity we needed.”
According to a brief synopsis, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will follow Kara as she “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.”
It’s worth noting that this is the premise of Tom King’s Woman of Tomorrow comic, so the movie might make a few changes.
Actress and playwright Ana Nogueira is currently working on the Woman of Tomorrow script.
James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the Supergirl reboot during their studio press day in January of last year, when the “Gods and Monsters” DCU slate was revealed. The project will be at least partially based on King’s acclaimed comic book series of the same name from 2022.
Said Gunn at the time, “In our series 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.”
