Milly Alcock's Supergirl Faces New Villain in Upcoming Film

Milly Alcock will portray Supergirl in a new film produced by James Gunn and directed by Craig Gillespie, set to release on June 26, 2026. The film will draw inspiration from the 2022 comic series 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,' which features a compelling narrative that introduces a formidable villain. Belgian actor Mattias Schoenaerts has been cast as Krem of the Yellow Hills, a character known for his violent actions, including the murder of an alien girl's father, which propels Supergirl into conflict with him. Krem's character is not only a threat to Supergirl but also to her beloved pet, Krypto, as he is depicted shooting arrows at them, causing injury. This act of aggression against Krypto is expected to trigger a strong protective response from Supergirl, reminiscent of the intense motivations seen in films like 'John Wick.' The involvement of Gunn, a noted dog lover, raises hopes for Krypto's well-being throughout the film. The screenplay for the film is being crafted by Ana Nogueira, who has experience with popular series like 'The Vampire Diaries' and is also working on a live-action 'Teen Titans' movie. This project marks a significant step in the new era of DC Studios, which is being led by Gunn and Peter Safran, following the release of Gunn's 'Superman' film scheduled for July 11, 2025. As anticipation builds for Supergirl's cinematic debut, fans are eager to see how Alcock will embody the character and how the film will explore themes of heroism, loss, and the bond between a superhero and her pet. The film promises to deliver an engaging story that resonates with both comic book enthusiasts and general audiences alike.
