As Gunn noted, it's director Craig Gillespie (Me, Tonya, Cruella) who is directing this Supergirland the filming of the film has just started at Warner Bros. Studios. in Leavesden, a suburb of London.

Alcock, who can be seen from behind in the image below, plays Kara Zor-El in an adventure inspired by Tom King's comic book, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrowpublished in 2022.

“Craig brings incredible sensitivity to this story, and Milly is exactly the unique Supergirl imagined by Tom King, Bilquis Evely and Ana Nogueira,” Gunn wrote.

Evely illustrated King's work while Nogueira was responsible for adapting the story for the DCU film. In the comics, the antagonist of the Kryptonian heroine is a certain Krem of the Ocher Hills. He is responsible for the death of Ruthye's father, an alien who became Kara's friend.
