There are details about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film remains under wraps beyond its June 26, 2026 release date and House of the Dragonand Milly Alcock was cast as the lead. That would make the second film in James Gunn's new DC Universe, with Gunn highly anticipated Superman like the beginning. That one is expected to arrive on July 11, 2025.
