'I'm sick of it': James Gunn explains why Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is no longer the DC comic book movie's name

  • DC Studios renamed the superhero movie from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to Supergirl, confirming a release date of June 26, 2026.
  • James Gunn explained the change followed a 'premortem' process to simplify titles, inspired also by shortening Superman: Legacy to Superman.
  • The film, directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, adapts the 2021 comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely but takes a different narrative direction.
  • Gunn said, "I think it's just called Supergirl," reflecting a preference for cleaner titles and noting that the film involves Kara spending more time on Earth than in the comics.
  • The renaming suggests a streamlined branding for the DC Universe and positions Supergirl as the next chapter following Superman, generating anticipation for the June 2026 theatrical release.
