Everything We Know About the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Movie

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will release as the second movie in the new DC Universe’s lineup. Beginning with Superman in 2025, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s revival of the comic book franchise will bring back iconic DC characters and introduce others for the first time on screen. Supergirl aka Kara Zor-El’s most recent live-action appearance came in 2023’s The Flash, part of the now-defunct DC Extended Universe. Sasha Calle portrayed Supergirl in that film and, before that, The CW TV series Supergirl starred Melissa Benoist as the main hero for six seasons from 2015 to 2021. A new era of DC movies and shows has arrived, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will have the opportunity to capitalize on the probable success of Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film. Regardless of Superman‘s eventual reception, the DCU has an exciting project in the works with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
