"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" Movie in Works

DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran provide an update on the extensive slate of content for the upcoming revamped DCU.

The duo announced that the first movie set to kick off the rebooted universe will be "Superman Legacy", with a release date already pinned down for 2025. The first chapter of their DCU will be called "Gods and Monsters". 

However, Clark Kent isn't the only Kryptonian fans will get to see in theaters. Gunn and Safran also shared new details on an upcoming Supergirl movie. 

The movie, tentatively titled "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow", is expected to hit the big screen just a couple of years after "Superman Legacy". 

"We'll have a Superman com[ing] out. And then two years later, we have Supergirl coming out,” Gunn said.

With Superman Legacy set for July 11, 2025, we can presumably expect Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to hit theaters sometime in 2027. 

However, Gunn and Safran have also detailed that they're "never going to put a project into production before the script is right." 

The upcoming movie is based on Tom King's comic book run of the same name from 2022. 

Gunn added King has been a crucial component in the construction of the DCU, noting: "Tom has been one of the architects of this entire situation. He has been one of the guys in the room with us, along with four or five other writers, and I love his take on these characters where he just slightly turns them to be something very unique." 

While Gunn and Safran didn't share any specific plot details for "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow", the pair explained that this version of Kara Zor-El is more hardened than previous on-screen iterations of the character. 

"Superman was sent to Earth, and he was raised by incredibly loving parents, whereas Kara was in Krypton, she was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and lived there for the first 14 years of her life among [a] horrible situation where she watched everybody around her die. So she's a much harsher and more f—ked up Super Girl than we've been used to this far." Gunn pointed out.

"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is expected to arrive sometime in 2027.
