Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is a stand-alone film revolving around Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin. The movie is part of the DC Universe Gunn and Peter Safran have been working on. Gunn is already attached to write and direct Superman: Legacy with David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan set to star with a release on July 11, 2025.
In film, Supergirl was most recently played by Sasha Calle in The Flash. The hope was for Calle to take on a bigger role within the DC Universe but her casting was done under the previous DC Studios administration and before Gunn and Safran came in to take over the direction of the comic book films.
