“Ana [Nogueira] and Craig [Gillespie], the writer and director, have been doing a fantastic job spearheading this. We start shooting in England in January. I just saw – I don’t know if I am supposed to say this but I’m going to say it anyway – I just saw the screen test for Ruthye, with Milly Alcock, you know who is playing Supergirl,” he teased, via Cosmic Book News.
“Oh, my god, I am so excited. That’s another project that’s been blessed from the beginning. Anna came in and she pitched to me the story 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.”
He also said the story fits with the comic book story and that the character of Supergirl is “a mess.”
“And then Craig has been incredibly easy to work with. I can’t wait for that one to come out. It’s very much based on Tom King’s comic, Woman of Tomorrow. There are of course differences because it’s a three-act structure, so it’s a little bit different in the structure which goes through various stories but it has all those major characters, the major themes. Supergirl is a mess. It’s something I can’t wait for people to see. I think it is a completely different unique take on a superhero.”
Supergirl is expected out on June 26, 2026. Matthias Schoenaerts is playing the villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills.
In the DC Comics, Ruthye is the central character in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, described as an alien girl seeking justice for the murder of her father.
“Her story becomes intertwined with Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, and Krypto, as they embark on a cosmic quest across the galaxy. Ruthye narrates much of the series, offering a fresh perspective on Supergirl’s journey,” via Cosmic Book News.
