DCEU star Sasha Calle responds to Milly Alcock starring as Kara Zor-El in theDC UniversefilmSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. One of the most highly anticipated films coming out ofChapter 1: “Gods and Monsters"isSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, set to feature Alcock as the next live-action version of Krypton’s last daughter. Production is expected to begin in late 2024/early 2025, asSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowis currently slated to release in June 2026.
In a new interview withIndieWire, Calle was asked if she had any advice for the next Supergirl actress. Calle, who played the Girl of Steel in 2023’sThe Flash, had nothing but love for her successor, as she stated the following about Alcock suiting up as Supergirl:
Have so much fun. You look so badass. Just f—–g kill it and have fun!
How The DC Universe’s Supergirl Is Set To Be Different To The DCEU’s
While Supergirl inthe DCEU movie timelinehad a very short run, there will be a lot of differences between Calle and Alcock’s iterations of the character. A key factor to remember here is that Calle’s Supergirl was the result of Barry Allen messing with the timeline as he traveled back in time to alter his own past, which in turn created a new present for the rest of the DCEU. In this world, Kal-El never became a hero as he didn’t grow up and instead died as a baby.
InJames Gunn’s DC Universe, Supergirl will exist at the same time as Superman, who will be played by David Corenswet in the 2025 film. Alcock’s Kara will also be heavily influenced by the version that headlines theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcomic, on which her solo film is based. Gunn has also stated that this Supergirl will be"a much harsher and more f—ked up Supergirl than we’ve been used to this far.”
All that remains now fortheSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmovieis learning who else is starring in the film alongside Alcock. With casting reportedly being underway, time will tell what other characters will be showing up from theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcomic run in Gunn’s DC Universe. Hopefully, more news aboutSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowwill emerge over the next few months as 2024 gets ready to close out.
