Now that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has wrapped up the DC Extended Universe, the pieces are moving into place for the new DC Universe shared continuity to take over (although some DCEU characters, like John Cena’s Peacemaker, will stick around). One of the upcoming DC movies that’s been announced for the DCU’s Chapter One slate, titled Gods and Monsters, is Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Evidently the project is making progress, as three frontrunners for the superheroine have emerged, and they’re solid candidates.
According to Deadline, DC Studios is planning to screen-test House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock, Locke & Key’s Emilia Jones and The Winchesters’ Meg Donnelly to play Supergirl. That’s not to say that one of these young women will definitely walk away with the role, especially because the article notes that there’s a “chance that the studio could make a straight offer to a movie star.” For now though, the plan is to see how these actresses, as well as possibly others, do reading lines as the character first, and these screen tests in “approximately” the next month.
