When asked about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Gunn described the character as a “mess,” staying true to her comic book roots. The film, set to release on June 26, 2026, follows Supergirl’s journey to a space adventure where she seeks the thrill of getting drunk under a different sun.

The film will begin shooting in January, with Gunn promising a faithful adaptation of the original comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. Although there are slight deviations for cinematic purposes, the core essence of the characters and themes remain intact.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of action and storytelling.
