What do we know about Supergirl?
Supergirl will make her screen debut in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, but she will eventually star in her own film, Woman of Tomorrow. The script for Woman of Tomorrow is currently being worked on by actress and playwright Ana Nogueira, however, no director has been attached to the project as of yet, and no release date has been given.
The film, which is currently in development, is based on a Tom King-written comic book miniseries that was released in 2021 and 2022 and aimed to reimagine the character as more than just a female Superman. Gunn and Peter Safran announced the Supergirl reboot during their studio press day in January of last year.
