Milly Alcock’s Supergirl Soars in Leaked Set Photos
Excitement is building for ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ as we get our first peek at Milly Alcock embracing the iconic role of Kara Zor-El. The DC Universe is undergoing a bold transformation under James Gunn and Peter Safran, and this film promises to be a cornerstone of their vision. With production in full swing, a leaked image has sparked chatter among us eager for a glimpse of what’s to come.
The photo, shared by@UnBoxPHDFILM, captures Alcock on set, standing atop what appears to be an armored vehicle. Though the angle is tricky, it’s clear the costume draws heavily from the comic roots, blending classic elements with a fresh twist. We’re thrilled to see her stepping into the boots of a character who’s been a fan favorite since her debut in 1959’s Action Comics #252.
Details of the suit include vibrant blue sleeves, a striking gold belt, and a red skirt paired with matching boots. A short red cape hints at her Kryptonian heritage, though some speculate CGI might extend it for dramatic flair. The design feels like a nod to Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s acclaimed comic run, which the movie adapts.
What makes this reveal even more intriguing is a blurry figure nearby, possibly Jason Momoa as the rough-and-tumble bounty hunter Lobo. His casting, alongside Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, adds grit to this cosmic tale. David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham round out the cast as Supergirl’s parents, Zor-El and Alura.
Filming kicked off in January 2025 at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in England, with additional shoots planned in Iceland’s stark landscapes. Production is set to wrap by May, giving director Craig Gillespie time to craft a story that James Gunn has called a ‘beautiful, star-spanning tale.’ The movie’s release date is locked for June 26, 2026, positioning it as the second film in the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, following ‘Superman’ in July 2025.
Unlike her cousin Kal-El, who was raised on Earth, this Supergirl grew up amidst Krypton’s destruction, shaping her into a tougher, more jaded hero. Ana Nogueira’s script leans into this darker edge, promising a sci-fi epic that stands apart from past portrayals, like Melissa Benoist’s TV run or the 1984 film.
Until now, most shots were captured indoors or at hidden spots, keeping details under wraps. But as the crew moves to public locations, we’re likely to see more glimpses of Alcock in action. Whether DC drops an official costume reveal soon remains to be seen, but for now, this sneak peek has us counting down to Kara’s big-screen return.
