James Gunn’sSupermanflies into theaters on June 02, 2025, with David Corenswet playing Clark Kent.

Another hero joining Supes for the movie is Supergirl, played by Millie Alcock.Supermanwill set the stage for Alcock’s solo film,Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which just took a massive step forward in the DC production timeline.
Production has officially begun on DC Studios’Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.The film begins its lengthy shooting schedule at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England. Directing the film is Craig Gillespie, best known forDumb Money,I, Tonya, andLars and the Real Girl. The script has been penned by Ana Nogueira (who is also reportedly working on DC Studios’Teen Titansmovie). While plot details for the film are scarce, James Gunn has previously said it will be a mostly faithful adaptation of Tom King’s comic book run of the same name. The official plot synopsis for the comic reads:
“Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission. Her world has been destroyed, and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost.”
