David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham have joined the cast of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” as the parents of the title character, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
“House of the Dragon” actress Milly Alcock headlines as Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl), which TheWrap first reported. Production kicks off this month in the U.K.
According to DC heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, the “Supergirl” movie will be based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely‘s comic book of the same name, released in July of 2023.
“This is a very different type of Supergirl,” Gunn said. “In our [film], we see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from, you know, the time he’s an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip-off of Krypton and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl and is much more hardcore.
