The basis for the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be based on Tom King’s comic book series, which is being adapted by actress and playwright Ana Nogueira. It is thought that filming could begin this autumn, if a director can be found by then.
Supergirl, also known as Kara Zor-El, first appeared in the pages of DC Comics in May 1959. Over the decades, the superheroine has died and been resurrected several times. Supergirl has appeared on the big screens twice: in 1984, a feature film starring Helen Slater was released, and in 2015, a TV series starring Melissa Benoist was launched.
