After igniting excitement with the unveiling of David Corenswet’s Superman earlier this month, DC Studios head James Gunn has now lifted the veil on another key figure in the evolving DC Universe — Supergirl. On Saturday, Gunn took to social media to share the first official poster of Milly Alcock as Supergirl, marking a pivotal moment for fans awaiting the heroine’s solo adventure titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
The poster features Alcock — best known for her breakout role as young Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon — donning a sleek, red-and-blue suit with a more battle-worn and cosmic edge compared to previous on-screen versions. She hovers against the backdrop of deep space, with a faint, dying red sun looming behind her. The image boldly sets the tone for a Supergirl story that promises to be far grittier and more introspective than anything seen before.
“Meet Kara Zor-El. She’s not just Superman’s cousin… she’s her own force of nature,” Gunn captioned the reveal.
The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film is based on the acclaimed comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. Unlike the hopeful, earth-raised Superman, this Supergirl’s story is rooted in pain and resilience — having witnessed the destruction of Krypton firsthand before arriving on Earth. The film, set for release in summer 2026, will follow her intergalactic journey of reckoning, vengeance, and redemption.

Milly Alcock’s casting as Supergirl was first announced earlier this year, and the new poster confirms that her debut will indeed align with the timeline of Superman (2025), also directed by Gunn. The two films are key pillars of the newly rebooted DC Universe (DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters).
Fans and critics alike have responded with overwhelming enthusiasm. Social media is abuzz with praise for Alcock’s intense presence in the poster and anticipation for how her darker, more alienated Supergirl will contrast with the idealistic Superman.
With James Gunn meticulously reshaping the DC Universe, the reveal of Alcock’s Supergirl suggests a bold new direction — emotionally complex, stylistically distinct, and thematically rich. The Woman of Tomorrow is here, and she’s no longer in anyone’s shadow.
