James Gunn Onboards Veteran for ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’

James Gunn has given the DCU another thrilling update after the ten-month-long filming of ‘Peacemaker Season 2’ was completed. Rob Hardy will be ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' cinematographer, Gunn confirmed on his Threads account. Known for his critically lauded contributions to ‘Civil War’, ‘Ex Machina’, and Alex Garland's ‘Annihilation’, Hardy also contributed his skills to ‘Mission: Impossible - Fallout’. Given his reputation for making visually spectacular films, his inclusion in the project is a huge gain for the DCU.

The breakout star of ‘House of the Dragon’, Milly Alcock, will play Supergirl/Kara Zor-El in the upcoming ‘Supergirl’ movie. Marye Knoll is the partner of Eve Ridley, who plays Ruthye, and Matthias Schoenaerts, who plays Krem of the ‘Yellow Hills’. Craig Gillespie, who helmed ‘Dumb Money’, ‘Cruella’, and ‘I, Tonya’, will helm the project.

Anticipation for the DCU's expanding portfolio, which formally debuts this week with the animated series ‘Creature Commandos’, is increased by this announcement. The first two episodes of the series, which stars Alan Tudyk, Frank Grillo, Viola Davis, Sean Gunn, and David Harbour, will air on Max in a couple of days. In the meantime, on 11th July 2025, ‘Superman: Legacy’, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, will open the DCU's theatrical run.

With a release date of 26th June 2026, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is expected to carry on the momentum of Gunn's resurrected DCU.
