In the comic books, Kara Zor-El is the cousin of Kal-El (also known as Clark Kent), who also ends up on Earth following the destruction of her homeworld.<\/p>\n
The character has been a major part of the Kryptonian mythology for decades, having made her debut back in 1959 and been adapted into live-action on several occasions.<\/p>\n
Most recently (and successfully), the character was played by Melissa Benoist across six seasons of Arrowverse<\/a> drama Supergirl, where she fought a number of legendary foes including Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n However, don\u2019t expect such a well-rounded incarnation to emerge in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Gunn has teased that his version will have developed a \u201cjaded\u201d attitude after fighting for survival throughout her formative years.<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.<\/p>\n Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is confirmed to be in development at DC Studios, although the studio\u2019s creative lead James Gunn stopped short of announcing a release date as he doesn\u2019t want the project to be rushed.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are not going to put hundreds of millions of dollars into a film where a screenplay is only two-thirds of the way done and we have to finish it while we\u2019re making the movie,\u201d he said (via The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen it happen again and again and it\u2019s a mess. I think it\u2019s the primary reason for the deterioration of quality of films today versus 20, 30 years ago.\u201d<\/p> According to THR, the film will be the fourth cinematic entry in Gunn\u2019s DC Universe, following Superman: Legacy<\/a>, The Authority and The Brave and the Bold<\/a>, the last of which will introduce a new actor as Batman.<\/p>\n Only Superman: Legacy has been given a release date so far \u2013 it\u2019s currently pencilled in for July 2025 \u2013 but from that detail, we can estimate a rough timeframe for when Supergirl could step up to the plate.<\/p>\n In order to allow enough space for the preceding three DC films to thrive at the box office, we predict that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will arrive in cinemas in\u00a0late 2026\u00a0<\/strong>at the very earliest.<\/p>\n There is currently some major confusion over who will play the title role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, given that a version of the character is debuting imminently in this summer\u2019s long-awaited The Flash<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sasha Calle (The Young and the Restless) will appear in the blockbuster as Kara Zor-El, but it has not been announced whether she will continue on to lead this solo flick or be dropped as several other DCEU actors have.<\/p>\n It\u2019s possible that Gunn and Safran won\u2019t reach a verdict until The Flash releases in cinemas, with the success or failure of the blockbuster sealing Calle\u2019s fate in the role one way or the other.<\/p>\n Additionally, it has not been announced which other DC characters could appear in this film, but given it is coming after Superman: Legacy, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see a certain Man of Steel fly by for a cameo.<\/p>\nSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow release date speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n
