The unveiling of the first image from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has sparked intriguing discussions within the fan community, particularly regarding the character’s evolution within the DC Universe (DCU).Milly Alcock, known for her role in House of the Dragon, is slated to star in this upcoming project, which is part of an exciting new direction for the DCU. Following the completion of James Gunn’s Superman, updates concerning Supergirl began to surface, especially with the announcement that Jason Momoa will be portraying Lobo instead of Aquaman, further diversifying the character lineup in the DCU.
While Alcock’s portrayal marks her official debut as Supergirl within the cinematic narrative, reports suggest she will first appear in Gunn’s Superman film. This strategic move allows the DCU to deepen the backstory between Supergirl, her cousin Superman, and Krypto, who is anticipated to play a pivotal role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. A recent image hinting at a change in Supergirl’s costume has become a topic of speculation among fans, with sources indicating that alterations may not be extensive as previously thought.

James Gunn recently shared a glimpse of Alcock on set via Twitter, although the photo remained somewhat vague regarding the film’s narrative. Nevertheless, it hinted at a significant connection between Supergirl and her cousin Superman. The image featured Alcock seated next to a chair adorned with the Supergirl logo, showcasing a departure from its traditional design.

Notably, Supergirl’s logo bears a resemblance to the emblem worn by David Corenswet’s Superman. This design appears to draw inspiration from the Kingdom Come comics and displays certain modifications from the classic House of El crest. Specifically, Supergirl’s symbol has transitioned from the iconic red and yellow seen in Superman’s insignia to a palette of red and dark blue. This shift raises questions about the overall tone of her costume in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, suggesting a departure from the colorful designs typically associated with her character, although the final look remains uncertain.
The DCU Has Set Precedents for Supergirl’s Classic Look
Supergirl’s Previous Appearances in the DCU
While Milly Alcock’s portrayal marks a pivotal step for Supergirl within this emerging DCU landscape, the character has already made an appearance in the universe. Specifically, Supergirl was featured in a non-speaking role in the animated series Creature Commandos, where she was depicted as one of the fallen heroes in a grim vision of the future. During this brief animated moment, Supergirl donned her vibrant superhero costume, which aligns with the design from the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic series.
Despite the new image suggesting a darker interpretation of her emblem, it remains possible that her suit will retain key elements of its classic design. Notably, the character was seen in a gruesome scene involving an impalement, revealing much of her suit, barring the visibility of her “S”symbol. Gunn has indicated that while certain characters from Creature Commandos may undergo design revisions for their live-action counterparts, others are expected to stay true to their original concepts. As Supergirl’s design reflects a strong resemblance to that of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comics, it is plausible that her live-action suit will adhere closely to the established design.
