The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow News and Discussion Thread

[ArmsHeldOut]

This would be her first major script. Wouldn't be surprised if a co-writer comes on at some point. She'll have plenty of time to flesh it out either way.

I wouldn't be surprised if King himself was involved in some capacity.

 

[Invader Joker]

I wonder if Emma Mackey ends up landing this.

I think they'll go younger as Kara is 21 in the book and Emma looks the same age as Corenswet (which kinda defeats the purpose of the Superman-Supergirl dynamic)

 

[TheScarecrow]

I want Bryce Dallas Howard to direct this one, I think.

 

[BobJM]

I like Angourie Rice for Kara.

I just read the comic; this could be really good and now I’m excited. I wonder if Kara will know her cousin by this point… maybe this whole adventure takes place while she’s trying to get to Earth.

 

[emielaen]

Jennifer Kent for the W

Angourie’s still my top pick too!

I’ll be more surprised if he isn’t, tbh.

Speaking of,

Between this and Legacy, everything sounds so damn good on paper. But I'm slightly afraid to hope. lol

Of the Lois contenders, I was thinking they might want to give that Phoebe Dynevor girl a shot, but @flickchick85 tells me she lacks a certain grit, which is essential for the part.

I finally got around to watching the flash and I really don't see why some people are begging for Sasha Calle to come back given what she was given to work with in that movie. I thought most of her scenes were mediocre at best.

Hopefully it's a clean slate, but from Gunn's instagram post, it's sounds like it's already written. Part of me wants them to build out a superman universe as opposed to a DC universe. Between Supergirl, steel and Superboy, I think they could do something special. The thing about DC is that each character almost has the opportunity to build out their own world's.

"Already written" doesn't imply affiliation w/ the soon-to-be-defunct DCEU. Woman of Tomorrow, like Legacy, will be its own thing. As for Sasha, she was fine IMO (not bad, not great), but I wouldn't put my money on her coming back.

 

[Invader Joker]

The trades have already kinda implied she is not coming back.

 

[Invader Joker]

Source is not the best but it makes sense.

VERY glad to hear he asked him for notes on Legacy. Tom King’s take on Superman is A+++++.

 

[Bran The Man]

PLEASE let Supergirl have a sword like in that picture I keep seeing online.

I think this is the most excited I've ever been about a Supergirl project. I'm REALLY looking forward to this!

 

[flickchick85]

Superman and Supergirl kicking off a new DCU together? Are we sure I didn’t dream up this slate??

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Kara is being described as having punk rock edginess to her with a humorous side.

So long as they don't give her a mohawk!

 

[Kane52630]

For the longest time ever since I saw Another Earth I wanted Brit Marling to play Kara but I'm assuming they're gonna cast younger.

 

[Sawyer]

Hunter Schafer tbh.

 

[WatchProtect]

Hunter Schafer tbh.

This is truth.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Wouldn't have occurred to me, but I could actually see Hunter Schafer in the role.

I don't remember seeing either in anything so I don't know about their acting. Milly Alcock's look expresses more character to me than Donnelly's, who I find pretty but bland. OTH, there's a picture of Donnelly in mini-dress and boots which says to me she could carry off the costume well...

I could see either working. Glad I don't have to make the choice. I trust in Gunn *fingers crossed*...
