James Gunn Confirms Filming Completion for Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow as the DC Universe Expands in 2026

The highly anticipated Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has officially wrapped its filming phase, marking a significant milestone for the DC Universe.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, this film promises to be a bold new chapter in the superhero world.

Co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn, confirmed the completion of filming, signaling the beginning of post-production work.

The film stars Milly Alcock, known for House of the Dragon, alongside Eve Ridley and Jason Momoa.

The Fresh Take on Supergirl

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to provide a unique twist on the iconic character of Kara Zor-El.

The screenplay, penned by Ana Nogueira, is inspired by Tom King’s acclaimed comic series of the same name.

This new story promises a cosmic journey, where Supergirl will protect a young girl named Ruthye, diverging from traditional Superman storylines.

Unlike Superman, who grew up with loving Earth parents, Supergirl’s upbringing was isolated on a fragment of Krypton.

This contrast is expected to add depth and grit to her character, showcasing a much different path for the Girl of Steel.

Jason Momoa Brings Lobo to Life

Jason Momoa, widely loved for his role as Aquaman, plays the anti-hero Lobo in the film.

Having completed his scenes early in the filming schedule, Momoa expressed heartfelt thanks to the crew for their hard work.

This early wrap-up allowed the production to focus on other elements as the film moves toward post-production.

Fans can look forward to seeing a fresh and exciting portrayal of Lobo alongside Supergirl’s cosmic journey.

A Bright Future for the DC Universe

As Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow heads into the post-production phase, expectations are high for this upcoming addition to the DC Universe.

With the film slated for theatrical release on June 26, 2026, the story’s success will likely hinge on the reception of the upcoming Superman film, set for release in July 2025.

Gunn confirmed that Superman’s production is already over 90% complete, with only final touches like music and visual effects remaining.

James Gunn and the Creative Team

James Gunn expressed his excitement and pride in the creative team behind Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

He praised Ana Nogueira for crafting a script that kept getting better as it developed.

Gunn also commended Craig Gillespie for bringing a unique vision to the film, making it one of the most anticipated superhero movies in the new DCU slate.

Fans in South Africa and Beyond Anticipate the Girl of Steel
