When Does 'Supergirl': 'Woman of Tomorrow Come Out? 'All About the New DC Movie Teased in 'Superman'
The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl
The storyline is inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic seriesSuperman's cousin is flying into the spotlight.
Based on the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic series of the same name, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl (Milly Alcock), who teams up with a young alien girl (Eve Ridley) seeking revenge for her father's murder. Together, they embark on a dangerous cosmic journey across alien worlds, facing powerful enemies and moral dilemmas.
In June 2025, the co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn, teased that even though Superman and Supergirl are both from Krypton, they had very different childhoods.
"[Superman] had parents who loved him in an easy-going upbringing, and it makes him the least dysfunctional of superheroes in so many ways," he told ComicBook.com. "And Supergirl, especially the DCU Supergirl, she's kind of a mess. I mean, she's had real issues growing up."
That became clear during Supergirl's brief cameo in Superman, which premiered on July 11. Alcock's character appeared at the Fortress of Solitude — clearly hungover — and retrieved her dog, Krypto, who had been under Superman's care while she partied across the galaxy.
Here's everything to know about the highly anticipated Supergirl.
The Supergirl storyline draws heavily from King and Evely's entry in Supergirl's seven-issue comic series.
Kara Zor‑El, aka Supergirl, hardened by trauma and tragedy, celebrates her 21st birthday far from Earth aboard a spaceship with Krypto, her loyal super‑dog. When a young alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll — whose father was brutally murdered — pleads for Supergirl's help in tracking down the killer, the two embark on a quest across distant worlds.
Stripped of her powers under a red sun, Supergirl must rely on her grit, compassion and wits to guide Ruthye on a path of vengeance and justice, ultimately confronting the nature of violence and power.
Supergirl stars Alcock as the titular character alongside her alien sidekick Ruthye, played by Ridley.
Matthias Schoenaerts signed on as the film's villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills, in September 2024, per Deadline, and a few months later, Jason Momoa confirmed his casting as the violent intergalactic bounty hunter, Lobo.
In January 2025, The Hollywood Reporter announced that David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham will play Supergirl's parents, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, respectively.
In May 2025, Gunn announced via Instagram Threads that filming for Supergirl had officially concluded.
A fan wrote, "James, I wanna hear from you with this news just to confirm; has Supergirl really wrapped filming?" He responded, "Yes it has."
Director Craig Gillespie is at the helm of Supergirl. He is best known for directing Disney's Cruella, skating drama I, Tonya and Hulu's Pam & Tommy.
"Craig [Gillespie] has just been such a great partner," Gunn told Rolling Stone in June 2025. "He's just been doing his thing. You never know how something cuts together, but right now it looks amazing. It's really cool stuff."
The script for the upcoming DC film was written by Ana Nogueira with guidance from King.
Supergirl will be released in theaters on June 26, 2026.

Newsom and Cuomo are using social media to try and replicate Mamdani's appeal. They're missing the point
According to Sun Tzu, in order to know your enemy, you must become your enemy. Some politicians might be taking that advice a little too literally, though. Zohran Mamdani's notably deft use of social media helped lead his well-run mayoral primary campaign to victory in June—and it may have inspired some recent pivots from other politicos. Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo is now taking a kitchen-sink approach to replicating his mayoral opponent's social media magic, while California Governor Gavin Newsom has taken to mimicking Donald Trump in an ongoing performance art piece on one of his X accounts. Neither seems to have a broader strategy beyond capturing attention. Memes and mimicking online Fresh off of copying Mamdani's distinct video style upon reentering the mayoral race as an Independent, Cuomo is now trying to flex his own social media fluency, with memes and a reply-heavy X account. In between the rash of posts attacking his opponent, Cuomo has been interacting with many of his followers and posting the occasional clunky meme from The Office. Apparently, this is just the beginning. Jason Levin, whose bio claims he builds 'software for meme marketing and memetic warfare,' took credit for Cuomo's memefication on Monday. In a thread posted to X, he recounted how his first meme for Cuomo hit 5.1 million views on the platform, with a triumphant tone more befitting someone who has just received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. 'We are entering a golden age of meme'fied politics,' he wrote in one entry in the thread, urging his followers to take up arms (read: memes), and help 'save NYC.' Meanwhile, Governor Newsom also seems to believe we have 'entered a golden age of meme'fied politics.' Since the beginning of August, he has been taking a punchier approach on X, with the occasional clunky meme from The Office. The effort peaked last week, though, when Newsom began an elaborate trolling campaign against Trump, in which his tweets favor the president's all-caps, nickname-forward, syntactically challenged, self-worshipful style. In an effort to show he's willing to stand up to Trump—or, let's be real, more likely in an effort to lay further groundwork for his inevitable 2028 presidential bid—Newsom is acting on social media as though he were a Good Terminator sent back in time to stop the Bad one. Whether these efforts have had any meaningful impact on Trump is debatable, but what is beyond dispute is that this social media strategy has earned Newsom loads of attention. Cuomo trolls desperately for votes The attention a politician generates with memes or trolling, however, is not necessarily relevant if they don't match it with something more interesting to say. Social media fluency, after all, is not political fairy dust. In 2025, we're well past the point where a politician using memes, in and of itself, suggests youthful savviness. Michael Bloomberg went all in on the best memes money can buy in the 2020 election, and failed to move the needle one iota. A decade into Trump's political era, everyone has already been to this circus and seen these clowns. What they want instead are leaders. Throughout his campaign, Mamdani used social media to highlight key issues around the central theme of affordability, reveal his personality, and showcase transparency. His various accounts built off the organizing prowess of his ground game to make his progressive ideas more widely palatable and to give them moral heft. His posts were generally earnest and informative, and slyly packaged in smart experiments like his daylong walk across the entirety of Manhattan. Now that he has won the primary, his social media has an earned sense of triumphalism—as in a recent video filmed backstage at a Wu-Tang concert at Madison Square Garden —along with a whole lot of smoke for his opponent, Cuomo. If Mamdani has gotten a major boost from his social media usage—and he undoubtedly has—it's because it seems like a natural extension of the candidate himself. All that Cuomo is doing with his flailing efforts at being epic on social media (something Elon Musk has proved is no pathway to popularity) is reveal his desperation for capturing attention. That thirstiness leaves room in his tent for Trump supporters, like his new meme contributor, along with Trump himself, whose support Cuomo is actively, openly courting (despite him being less popular among conservative voters than both Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and Mamdani). Posting—shockingly—is not politics As for Newsom, the best that can be said of his new social media trolling persona is that it's drawing attention to the hypocrisy of Trump's supporters in the media. Those anchors on Fox News who find Newsom's schtick 'childish' and 'unbecoming of a leader,' for instance, should indeed have to answer for why they don't attribute those traits to the guy Newsom is imitating. But the problem is that all this trolling is just empty calories. Newsom's Bizarro Trump act is an attention-getting spectacle. It's a one-note comedy routine, not a form of leadership. He could keep this up every day for the next three years and it would never make more of a material impact than his recent pledge to redraw the district maps in California, in order to match a gerrymandering effort underway in Texas. (It's worth noting that this issue is what initially kicked off Newsom's ongoing Trump impersonation.)
