This film, based on the comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, presents a darker and more intense Supergirl than fans are used to.
According to Variety, in his first presentation of the DC Studios slate with co-chief Peter Safran, Gunn shared that "she is not exactly the Supergirl we're used to seeing." This version of Kara Zor-El grew up witnessing the destruction of Krypton, giving her a harder edge.
Alcock, who is best known for her role in HBO's House of the Dragon, plays the iconic superhero. She is joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, who stars as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills; Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, the girl who recruits Supergirl to bring Krem to justice; and David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's parents. Fans will also see Jason Momoa as the alien mercenary Lobo and the much-loved Krypto the Superdog.
Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to premiere on June 26 next year.
