The new DC Universe's Supergirl movie, starring House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock, has started filming in the UK.
Officially titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the film is one of the first entries in the new superhero continuity shepherded by James Gunn, following the Superman movie that's set for this summer.
Production has now begun in Warner Bros Studio Leavesden, with Cruella and I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie helming the project.

Based on the comic story of the same name, Gunn said that Woman of Tomorrow will showcase how our titular heroine is different from the Man of Steel.
"Superman is a guy sent to Earth and raised by loving parents, where Supergirl in this story, she is a character raised on a chunk of Krypton," he said.

"She watched everybody around her perish in some terrible way, so she's a much more jaded character."
Late last month, it was announced that Jason Momoa has been cast as the anti-hero bounty hunter Lobo for the film, having previously played Aquaman in the now-over DCEU.

He confirmed his casting by sharing an excerpt from a previous interview to his Instagram. The excerpt reads: "So Lobo was... I collect comics, and I don't do so much anymore, but he was always my favourite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role'," the quote read.
"I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it's a f*** yeah. I haven't received that call, so I don't want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I'm there."
He used his caption to confirm he has now been cast, writing: "They called."
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set for release on June 26, 2026.
