DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has officially confirmed that filming for “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” wrapped in May 2025, marking a significant milestone for the highly anticipated project starring Milly Alcock.
The announcement came via Gunn’s social media, responding directly to fan inquiries with his characteristic straightforward style, finally giving the DC faithful something concrete to celebrate after months of carefully managed information drip.
Production on the film progressed at breakneck speed through early 2025, with significant headway reported by February before crossing the finish line in May.
Kara’s silver screen saga raced through production, hitting major milestones by February before wrapping completely in May 2025.
The timing positions the project comfortably for its scheduled theatrical release on June 26, 2026, slotting neatly into the ambitious Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate that’s rebuilding the DCU from scratch.
With Superman nearly in the can and Supergirl wrapped, Gunn’s master plan is taking visible shape, piece by cinematic piece.
Director Craig Gillespie, whose indie sensibilities elevated “I, Tonya” beyond genre expectations, helmed the adaptation of the critically acclaimed 2021-2022 comic series.
Working from Ana’s reportedly stellar script, the production brings to life Kara Zor-El’s intergalactic journey that eventually leads her to Earth.
The narrative centerpiece—Supergirl’s relationship with young Ruthye Marye Knoll, who seeks revenge for her father’s murder by the mercenary Krem—promises emotional depth beyond your typical cape-and-tights affair.
With filming complete, the floodgates can finally open on marketing materials and more substantial plot details.
The post-production team now faces the Herculean task of bringing the cosmic visuals to life while Gunn’s publicity machine revs up.
The film represents the first solo Supergirl feature since 1984, a staggering 42-year gap that puts tremendous pressure on Alcock’s super-shoulders.
As this cosmic adventure inches closer to reality, it increasingly appears to be an essential building block in Gunn and Safran’s reimagined universe—a universe where, apparently, women of tomorrow can finally get their due today.
According to James Gunn, the “Superman” film is over 90% completed while the team prepares to shift focus to post-production on Supergirl.
The movie is part of a larger storytelling strategy under Gunn and Safran’s leadership, serving as the second installment in the Gods and Monsters chapter that’s reshaping the DC cinematic landscape.
