More DCU news as James Gunn announces that a Supergirl movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, will make part of the first chapter of the rebooted comic book movie franchise. Speaking via social media, Gunn revealed several details of the project, including how it will introduce the character, her relationship with her cousin Superman, and promised that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will introduce “a very different type of Supergirl.”
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will take inspiration from writer Tom King, who James Gunn says has been instrumental in shaping the DCU so far. Released last year, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows Kara Zor-El as she finds herself without meaning or purpose. While wallowing in her existential crisis, Supergirl is found by an alien girl, who asks the superhero to help her wreak vengeance on the people who destroyed her planet. Thus, they head into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core.
The story certainly sounds like a change of pace for Supergirl, and should finally take one of the Kryptonians into outer space on an interstellar adventure in live action. Finally.
