James Gunn is reportedly looking for a Supergirl, who would seem in his revised DC Universe continuity. As per Deadline, the filmmaker and co-CEO of DC Studios is about to screentest three actresses for the position — Milly Alcock (Home of the Dragon), Emilia Jones (CODA), and Meg Donnelly (Zombies); the final of them beforehand voiced Supergirl within the animated Legion of Tremendous-Heroes movie. The assessments are scheduled to happen throughout the ‘subsequent month or so’, with the character first making a cameo look in a DC venture earlier than taking centre stage within the standalone Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow movie.
DC Studios co-chairs Gunn and Peter Safran first introduced Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow in early 2023, when detailing how their revamped DC Universe chapter ‘Gods and Monsters’ would run for the following 8-10 years, connecting storylines throughout motion pictures, TV reveals, animation, and video video games. Drawing from creator 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 individuals round her die in devastating methods for 14 straight years, earlier than coming to Earth. “She’s way more hardcore. She’s not precisely the Supergirl we’re used to seeing,” Gunn described on the time. Nonetheless, her cousin Clark Kent/ Kal-el arrived when he was simply an toddler and was raised by loving mother and father, ultimately changing into a logo of hope for Metropolis.
For now, there is no such thing as a phrase on who’s directing Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow, although the workforce has reportedly fixated on actress-playwright Ana Nogueira to pen the script. Apparently, the scribe was initially employed to write down a script for a Supergirl spin-off film that will tie into The Flash movie and add to the now-defunct DC Prolonged universe with Sasha Calle enjoying the lead. Nonetheless, these plans bought cancelled when Gunn and Safran got here on board to chart a wholly new course for the franchise, which included the aforementioned standalone DC Universe film — reducing all ties with current characters and tales. Having appreciated Nogueira’s work on the axed Supergirl venture, the executives ‘quietly’ introduced her again to work on the brand new movie.
In the meantime, Gunn is making ready to movie Superman: Legacy, the primary live-action venture of DCU, in the course of the American Spring season. It is slated to launch July 11, 2025, and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/ Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicolas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
