SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW Reportedly to Include a Big DC Cameo — GeekTyrant
Looks like Kara Zor-El will be joined by another big character from James Gunn's DCU in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow . This one seems like a given, but according to a new report, Milly Alcock's big-screen debut as Supergirl could feature a little cameo from David Corenswet's Superman. Scooper MTTSH recently claimed that Corenswet's Superman will show up in a flashback. The scene reportedly depicts Kara's arrival on Earth, where she emerges from her ship alongside none other than Krypto the Superdog. Superman greets her with a warm smile and says 'Hi there!' While that moment might sound small, it fits with what we already know. In Gunn's Superman , Clark is said to be looking after Krypto for Kara, so this flashback will tie some things together. The rumor comes as Alcock begins to open up about the daunting journey of stepping into the iconic red boots. In a recent interview, she shared what it felt like going through the nerve-racking audition process — including a full-costume screen test with another actor. 'During a screen test, you're in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you're all dressed as the character. [The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage. 'For Supergirl , it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it's just fear! That's what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear.' Once the shock of getting cast settled in, Alcock leaned into the celebration, saying: 'I was kind of in disbelief. I was initially like, 'What have I done?'' Alcock admitted. 'I then invited all my friends over to the house and we drank champagne.' The film is still in production, and aside from a few blurry set photos and some official behind the scenes stills, we haven't seen a full reveal of Alcock in the Supergirl suit. When Gunn first announced the project, he offered some insight on how this version of Kara Zor-El would stand apart from the cheery, upbeat version many fans are used to. '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. '[She] 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.' So far, we know Alcock will be joined in the film by David Krumholtz ( Oppenheimer ) and Emily Beecham ( Into The Badlands ), who will play Kara's biological mother and father Alura and Zor-El, Eve Ridley ( 3 Body Problem ) who will play Ruthye Marye Knoll, and Matthias Schoenaerts ( The Old Guard ) will play the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills. Aquaman star Jason Momoa joined the cast as Lobo, and Krypto the Superdog is also going to play a role in the story. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has begun shooting, and is expected to arrive in theaters on June 26, 2026.

A Beginner's Guide To Beverly Hills
In the heart of Los Angeles County, the palm-lined city of Beverly Hills might be compact at just 5.7 square miles, but its cultural cachet looms large. Beverly Hills was officially incorporated in 1914 and quickly transformed into a glamour magnet for Hollywood royalty, with stars like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks building palatial homes here and iconic destinations like the Beverly Hills Hotel shaping its identity. Today, it remains an enduring symbol of luxury that feels both polished and performative, but spend a few days here, and you'll also find a place that's filled with charm, artistry and history. Palm Tree-Lined Street Overlooking Los Angeles at Sunset getty Beverly Hills is no stranger to spectacle, and there's plenty to gawk at beyond celeb sightings. Start at the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum, an audacious fever dream of a gallery helmed by French street artist Thierry Guetta (a.k.a. Mr. Brainwash). Housed in a former Paley Center building on North Beverly Drive, this museum is less a traditional art space and more an immersive pop-art fantasia, with full-sized painted pianos stacked atop each other and a rooftop installation. Guetta became internationally known through the Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, and he's actively involved in curating this ever-changing space. Rolls-Royce Phantom on Rodeo Drive getty For a change of pace, head north into the hills to discover Greystone Mansion & Gardens. Tucked into a landscaped 18.5-acre estate, this grand Tudor Revival residence looks like the set of a period drama, and it has indeed played that role in countless films and TV shows. Built in 1928 by oil baron Edward Doheny for his son, the manor and its cascading gardens offer views of the city and a quiet respite. The grounds are free and open to the public most days. No trip to Beverly Hills would be complete without at least a stroll down the immaculate Rodeo Drive, even if just for window shopping. The three-block stretch between Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard is a shrine to luxury retail, housing flagship boutiques for Dior, Chanel, Gucci and more. Beverly Hills is a solid destination for foodies, whether you're indulging in old-school glamour or want a hotspot for a cold drink. The Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel is arguably the most iconic restaurant in the city, with its green-and-white striped booths playing host to everyone from Frank Sinatra to modern-day film moguls. Still a power-lunch favorite, the menu is California classic with tuna tartare, crab cakes and cobb salad. Sip a martini on the Italianate patio, and you'll feel like you've stepped into Hollywood's golden age. The Beverly Hills Hotel is a hotel on Sunset Boulevard getty For something fresher, try the recently opened Bacari, a modern-Med spot for shareable small plates housed in what used to be Lisa Vanderpump's Villa Blanca. Expect fantastic vibes and even better food. Another place that's always packed is The Hideaway on Rodeo Drive. A modern Mexican restaurant in a sunken courtyard, The Hideaway's menu is punchy and bold with killer carnitas, tomahawk ribeyes, and magaritas with a tropical twist. If you're after something a little more homespun, try The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, a neighborhood institution. With walls lined with wheels of Parmigiano, tins of fish and imported mustard—plus epic sandwiches, it's the perfect spot to grab essentials for a picnic in Beverly Gardens Park. For a more immersive food experience, book a tasting tour through LA Food Tours, which has a Beverly Hills walking tour that serves everything from handmade chocolate to the latest gossip. In a city saturated with five-star options, L'Ermitage Beverly Hills remains a good choice for those looking for privacy and polish, alongside a location that balances calm with convenience. Situated on a leafy (but busy) stretch of Burton Way, this all-suite hotel has long been a favorite among in-the-know guests. Recently, the hotel underwent a comprehensive renovation: Guest suites are now outfitted with plush, modernist furnishings in soft, sand-and-stone hues, with balconies that catch the sun-drenched L.A. light. Bathrooms with private dressing areas are clad in marble and generously proportioned. The new rooftop pool area at L'Ermitage Beverly Hills L'Ermitage Beverly Hills The star of the show is the revamped rooftop pool deck, with panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills and new cabanas and a spruced-up bar serving mezcal cocktails and seasonal small bites. Downstairs, the restaurant has shifted toward California-Mediterranean cuisine, drawing a steady local crowd for power breakfasts. There are no velvet ropes or influencer setups here, just polished hospitality and a kind of grown-up cool that feels both comfortable and still definitively Beverly Hills.

Leah Remini sets the record straight about her friendship with Jennifer Lopez
There was a time when Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez seemed joined at the hip. Then, they appeared to no longer be friends. Remini gave some insight into where the two now stand in an interview with Us Weekly. 'Right after the divorce, we'd text each other loving messages of support,' she told the publication. Remini filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years, Angelo Pagán, in August 2024. Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck the same month. Speculation was stirred that the women had had a falling out after Remini did not attend Lopez's wedding to Affleck in 2022. 'Sometimes you don't talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn't mean the love is lost,' Remini explained. 'Friendships ebb and flow,' she said. 'That doesn't mean we're at odds.' The actress added she's 'in a different place' since famously leaving the Church of Scientology 12 years ago and has 'retreated,' choosing to spend more time at home. 'I cherish my friendships and not everybody is meant to be in your life in the way that they were. When you grow out of that person that you were, that doesn't mean that you are at odds with them,' Remini said. 'I have many friends that I don't talk to every day. That doesn't mean we're at odds — it's just that I'm at a different place and so are they.' CNN has reached out to repreentatives for Remini and Lopez for comment.
