Supergirl Is Officially Staying in ‘Man of Tomorrow’ After Cut Rumors

DC Studios is going through one of its most chaotic weeks in years, and ‘Man of Tomorrow’ is at the center of it. Since the leadership shake-up, fans have tracked every rumor about the Superman sequel, especially anything involving Milly Alcock’s Supergirl.

Some context explains the anxiety. Four years after James Gunn and Peter Safran took charge of DC Studios, Skydance announced that they are leaving executive leadership, effective December 1. Gunn and Safran will stay on as producers for ‘Man of Tomorrow’ and ‘The Batman Part II’.

On November 12, Nexus Point News published an off-the-record report that set off alarms. According to the outlet’s sources, several cameos originally planned for the movie are expected to be removed, reshoots are coming soon, and Blue Beetle and Supergirl may not make the final cut. Asked whether Gunn will keep final cut on the film, the outlet said all signs point to no.

Now the outlet has walked part of that back. DC Film News announced that Supergirl is not going to be cut from ‘Man of Tomorrow’, pointing to an update in the Nexus Point News report. The article now opens with a simple note: Supergirl is in ‘Man of Tomorrow’.

The update doesn’t settle everything. Other outlets noted that while Nexus posted the update, the body of the report still says Supergirl may not make the final cut. Some fans also questioned whether anyone senior at Paramount would be giving hour-by-hour editing updates to a social media account.

This isn’t the first rumor about Alcock’s future. Fans began suspecting she had left the role after her Supergirl posts disappeared from her Instagram. About a month ago, Gunn shut down claims about ‘Man of Tomorrow’, ‘The Batman: Part II’ and Alcock’s future as Supergirl, and advised fans not to believe everything they read online.

Alcock hasn’t commented. As far as anyone has officially confirmed, she debuted as Kara in 2025’s ‘Superman’, led ‘Supergirl’ in June, and is due back in ‘Man of Tomorrow’. Meanwhile, Cosmic Book News has claimed through its own insiders that her ‘Man of Tomorrow’ role was reduced.

Box office is part of the story. Gunn’s ‘Superman’ earned $619 million worldwide, but ‘Supergirl’ struggled with just $126 million worldwide. Skydance reportedly wants profitable DC films and is prioritizing solo movies for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman over lesser-known characters.

Other characters are still in question. According to the outlet, David Corenswet will stay on as Superman after ‘Man of Tomorrow’. Nexus claims Adria Arjona plays Wonder Woman in the film, though DC Studios has never confirmed the casting, and her character’s future is uncertain.

The film’s final shape still seems to be in flux. In a column this week, Variety’s Owen Gleiberman passed along a rumor that the studio was less than enthusiastic about how ‘Man of Tomorrow’ was shaping up and wants to cut many of Gunn’s Easter eggs. The sequel is still set for July 9, 2027.

Nexus acknowledged that some of its sources contradict each other. What everyone agrees on is that ‘Man of Tomorrow’ will have mandatory reshoots and some characters will be removed. For now, Supergirl fans can breathe a little easier, even if no one can say yet how much of her will make it to the screen.
