DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters, a five-film/five-TV series plan, at least so far, is starting to inch forward. Following the upcoming “Superman,” film set for 2025, Warner Bros. has announced a summer 2026 release date for “Supergirl: World Of Tomorrow.” Now officially set for a June 26, 2026, release, this date will make it the second DC movie to hit screens after “Superman,” directed by James Gunn and set for July 11, 2025.
Set to star “House Of The Dragon” star Milly Alcock, the actress was cast by DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran, but Craig Gillespie, known for female-directed movies and series like “I, Tonya, “Cruella,” and “Pam and Tommy” is directing the film.

“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is being written by Ana Nogueira, who wrote the previous version of “Supergirl” for the last iteration of the character in the DCEU.
No other cast members or characters to star in the picture have been revealed. It’s been said that Alcock will appear as Supergirl in Gunn’s “Superman” film, but it’s unclear if that’s still happening. Filming is expected to start in late 2024.
In his original Gods and Monsters announcement video, Gunn described the film as “a big science fiction epic film” and a “beautiful, star-spanning tale,” but also promised Supergirl would stand out and be much different from her cousin Kal-El, aka Superman.
“We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life,” Gunn explained in the announcement video when he first revealed the entire DC Studios slate (which you can see below). “And then [she] came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore; she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”
“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” has no direct competition on June 26, 2026, but it quickly becomes a crowded field all around her. The previous weekend, June 19, is occupied by “Toy Story 5,” while the following weekend, July 10, is taken by Disney’s live-action “Moana” picture, and later that month is an unrevealed Marvel film.
