January 23rd, 2025 by Marc Comments

We learned last week that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow had started filming and now DCU boss James Gunn has shared the first look at House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl from the Leavesden set.

The image shows Alcock from behind, sitting on set wearing a jacket and hoodie and with her iconic ‘S’ on the back of her chair.

Gunn wrote: Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El. Craig brings an incredible sensibility to this story, and Milly is every inch the unique #Supergirl envisioned by Tom King, Bilquis Evely & Ana Nogueira.

Milly Alcock’s Supergirl will appear in James Gunn’s Superman this summer

While the movie is set of a 2026 release, we have had it confirmed that Supergirl will first be seen in Superman this summer when David Corenswet takes on Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luther.

It has also been revealed that leaving Aquaman behind forever, Jason Momoa will be stepping into the leather stompin’ boots of intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo in the Supergirl movie too.

Check out Gunn’s original tweet:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
