Milly Alcock’s Supergirl to begin filming in January

Fans of Game of Thrones and DC have a lot to look forward to. The second season of House of the Dragon aired not too long ago, and another spinoff is currently in development. Concurrently, the highly anticipated reboot of James Gunn’s DCU is preparing for its premiere. A significant crossover is the casting of Milly Alcock from House of the Dragon as Supergirl in the DCU.

James Gunn reveals Supergirl’s production date

The revamped DCU is slowly setting up the board for a completely new DC Universe, headed by James Gunn. In a recent NYCC panel, Gunn revealed when Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will start filming  (via Bleeding Cool):

“The writer and director have been doing a fantastic job spearheading it. We start shooting in January in England. I saw the screen test with Milly Alcock and it’s so exciting. Ana’s pitch about Supergirl was one of the best pitches I’ve ever heard. It’s based on Tom King’s comic Woman Of Tomorrow with some differences in structure, but it has those characters and themes.”

More details about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Gunn went on to reveal more details about the upcoming Supergirl movie, led by Milly Alcock. He praised the script and said (via THR):

“That’s another project that’s just been left from the beginning. [Writer] Anna [Nogueira] came in, and she pitched the story to me of Supergirl, and it was just one of the best pitches I’ve ever heard, and she immediately wrote it. She came in with the first draft that was great, and it’s just gotten better and better. Then [director] Craig [Gillespie] has been incredibly easy to work with, and I can’t wait for that to come out. It’s a three-act structure, so it’s a little bit different than the structure, which kind of goes through various stories, but as all those major characters, the major themes.”
