DC Studios is advancing its cinematic universe with "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," appointing screenwriter Ana Nogueira for the script. The project is part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new vision for the DC Universe (DCU) following less successful ventures like "The Flash." Despite previous plans being shelved due to "The Flash" underperforming, Nogueira's screenplay impressed Gunn and Safran enough to bring her on board for "Woman of Tomorrow."

The future of the character Supergirl, formerly portrayed by Sashe Calle in "The Flash," remains uncertain. Gunn and Safran's overhaul suggests that former Justice League actors won't return, but certain characters like Peacemaker, Waller, and Blue Beetle, played by John Cena, Viola Davis, and Xolo Maridueña respectively, are set to continue their roles. This indicates a selective continuity within the revamped DCU.

No director has been attached to "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" as of now. However, Gunn teased that the upcoming film's version of Supergirl will be a grittier and more intense character than audiences have previously seen. While no release date is set for "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," "Superman: Legacy" retains its release date of July 11, 2025, unaffected by the Hollywood strikes.

This news is particularly relevant for DC fans eager to witness the evolution of the DCU under Gunn and Safran's direction, as it hints at fresh interpretations and potentially exciting narratives for classic characters. With high expectations for DC Studios' "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," fans will be closely following updates on "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," along with other upcoming DC projects.
