Flash forward to 2024, and DC Studios is now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, and the DCEU has been dropped; all the heroes are set to be recast, and Supergirl is now going to be played by House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock. It really did feel like the rug was pulled from under Calle, but she seems to be making peace with what’s happened. She tells The Hollywood Reporter:

“I look back at [playing Supergirl] as something super beautiful. It’s been said that a queer Latina girl like me couldn’t be Supergirl. But I was, and no one can take that away from me. That is the most important thing for me; I did something that mattered. And whether you saw yourself represented in me or not, a lot of people really connected with her and loved her.”

Calle also said that she found kinship with Leslie Grace, who had shot the Batgirl movie before it was shelved for tax purposes. She also says something that could possibly be throwing shade at the current DC heads. Check this out:

“I also want to work with people who value me and respect me and are really excited to work with me. That’s what I wish for myself, and that’s what I wish for anybody in this business, but that was a rough experience. So I look forward to working with people in this industry who see my value and who are excited to work with me.”

It’s certainly a shame that Calle wasn’t able to deliver the Supergirl she wanted, but she’s just one of many other passionate artists that weren’t able to give their all when it came to the mess that was the DCEU.

We don’t know if Gunn is going to deliver his universe any better, but having been on the Marvel side of things, maybe he has an idea of how better to tackle a new universe—especially since he’s going to start from the ground up this time.

Superman is set to release in theaters July 11, 2025.

According to insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Momoa may be joining the cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. What’s more, he won’t be coming back as the King of Atlantis, but as the rough-and-tumble space biker Lobo.

In the comics, Lobo is essentially a space bounty hunter. He’s virtually unkillable, but at the same time he has no real goals or plans for domination; so he’s considered more of a nuisance then a threat. That being said, even characters like Superman have a hard time taking him on.

Some can also make the read that Lobo is the DC’s version of Deadpool, but with more of that dirty biker flair that Wolverine is known for.

Of course, we should take this information with a grain of salt since nothing official has been announced, but Momoa himself has been hyping up his future for DC despite the ending of the Snyderverse. There’s also the fact that Lobo is a space character and Supergirl essentially is more connected to space than Superman is.

Until we get some official reveals, we’ll just have to wait and see. Though I’d love for Momoa to just keep doing Aquaman, I think he would be a fun Lobo as well.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set for a release on June 26, 2026.

Deadline reports that Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) is currently in talks to helm the story of Kara Zor-El for DC Studios. We don’t know much about the story yet, but the production is said to start after James Gunn wraps on Superman which is currently filming.

With Superman having his boy scout image, everyone is kind of expecting Supergirl to have a more punk vibe—which is why Gillespie seems like the perfect match. After all, he’s directed films centered on women with not-so-clean personas.

Add to that he’s already worked with another DC star in the form of Margot Robbie a.k.a. DC’s original live-action Harley Quinn.

It’s unclear what kind of direction this new Supergirl can go, since the character has barely appeared in the big screen. The closest we have to a modern take is The CW series with Melissa Benoist, but even that has its own brand of camp which comes with the brand.

Hopefully Alcock’s new Supergirl will manage to be her own thing, and she can stand toe-to-toe with David Corenswet’s Man of Steel.

No release date has been set for Supergirl, but you can expect Kara to appear in Superman which hits theatres on July 11, 2025.

Reports had come out last week that Alcock was in the running to play Supergirl for James Gunn’s new DCU, and Variety has confirmed that Alcock is now going to be making her superheroine debut in Superman: Legacy, then headlining in her own feature film with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Besides Alcock, Disney Channel star Meg Donnelly had been considered for the part, with her having voiced Supergirl in animation. Though Alcock did get the live-action part, I don’t see why Donnelly can keep playing the voice of Supergirl moving forward.

We don’t know yet how Gunn and his team plan to tackle Supergirl down the line, but I do think that Alcock won the role because she looks significantly younger than Donnelly. What makes the dynamic between Clark and Kara interesting is that Kara is younger, but she knows more about Krypton than Clark does, having grown up there before it exploded.

For now, we’re just going to have to wait and see what everyone looks like in costume, but a lot of fans agree that Alcock is a solid pick for the character. Fingers crossed we get a first look before the year ends.

Watch out for Alcock when she makes her debut as Supergirl in Superman: Legacy which comes out July 11, 2025.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the search has been narrowed down to two actresses: House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock and Disney Channel star Meg Donnelly from the musical franchise Zombies.

The plan is to have Supergirl get introduced in Gunn’s Superman: Legacy next year, and eventually get her own movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. So far DC Studios has not made their decision yet, but it was said that there have been test screenings with Gunn and Safran present.

As far as fan support goes, Donnelly has been the top pick for fans, seeing that she has already voiced Supergirl in some animated projects including Legion of Superheroes and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths.

That being said, Alcock has more of a recognition when it comes to the screen, seeing that she was in the critically-acclaimed House of the Dragon, and her casting is sure to bring in some fans from that audience.

It’s hard to really gauge what Gunn’s tone for the new DC is going to be, but it has been said that the Supergirl movie is going to embrace a more ‘punk rock’ feel. Personally, I’m more invested in Alcock landing a less conventional superhero role like Spider-Gwen or Gwenpool, so I’m fine if Donnelly gets the part since she does have that Disney Channel audience.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Watch out for Supergirl when she makes her debut in Superman: Legacy which comes out July 11, 2025.

More images emerge for THE FLASH including a brand new look at Ben Affleck’s Batman! #TheFlashMovie pic.twitter.com/71BkUPPcTD

While the film is leaning heavily on Keaton’s return as Batman, a lot of Snyder fans are excited to see Ben Affleck’s version of the Dark Knight one more time. Though some were hoping that Affleck could stay on for spinoffs, the actor has said that The Flash will be his swan song for this version of Batman.

As for Sasha Calle, she’s going to be playing an altered version of Superman from The Flashpoint Paradox. In Flashpoint, Superman isn’t raised in a farm, but was instead apprehended by the US government and experimented on for years. It looks like Calle’s Supergirl is going to go through the same thing, but instead she’s captured as a young adult Kryptonian rather than raised in the prison since birth.

Then again, I’m just guessing based on what’s in the trailers.

Here’s the film synopsis:

Barry Allen uses his super speed to change the past, but his attempt to save his family creates a world without super heroes, forcing him to race for his life in order to save the future.

The Flash is set to release in theaters on June 16.

Already a lot of people are making comparisons to Injustice character Lara Lane-Kent, Lois Lane and Superman’s metahuman daughter. Even Injustice writer Tom Taylor has noticed and made his comparison online:

In 2014, @Bruno_Redondo_F and I created a new #Supergirl, Lara Lane Kent.
And… well, Sasha Calle as Supergirl is uncanny. pic.twitter.com/xXWgbQYLvo

As of now, it’s possible that the movie is only paying homage to the costume, but I can imagine several other possibilities on who this Supergirl character could be. On one hand, she could be the daughter of Superman (one who is hopefully played by Nicolas Cage if this was the Tim Burton Batman timeline), and on the other, she could simply be a female version of the Superman Clark Kent.

In the original Flashpoint storyline, Superman had a more tragic fate, with the government taking baby Kal-El into custody and turning him into a lab rat. With DC trying to move away from those darker stories, a genderbent Superman seems to be the simplest way to introduce an alternate version of the character without having to go too dark.

You can imagine the anti-sjw outrage already if this is going to be the case.

It will probably be a while before we get an official look at The Flash, but with these Supergirl photos leaking online, it would be great if WB can give us some official looks (without spoiling too much, that is).

For now, The Flash is set to hit theaters on Nov. 4, 2022.
