Casting details
'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' boasts a star-studded cast
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast. Along with Alcock, Eve Ridley will play Ruthye Marye Knoll, a young alien woman who seeks Supergirl's help to find her father's killer. Matthias Schoenaerts has been cast as Krem of the Yellow Hills, the man they're chasing. David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham will play Supergirl's parents, Zor-El and Alura, respectively.

Character evolution
'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' presents a darker Supergirl
Previously, Gunn hinted that this version of Supergirl will be darker and more intense than what fans are used to. He said, "She is not exactly the Supergirl we're used to seeing." This version of Kara Zor-El has seen Krypton's destruction, making her tougher. Alcock, who is known for her role in HBO's House of the Dragon, plays this iconic superhero.
