David Krumholtz says Supergirl stays very true to Woman of Tomorrow comic

Actor David Krumholtz discussed his role in James Gunn’s upcoming DC Studios film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and praised its faithfulness to the source material. “It’s very true to the graphic novel that it’s based on, Woman of Tomorrow,” Krumholtz told Nerdtropolis. “Which is great.” He said he was honored to expand the mythology of Krypton, adding, “I’m thrilled to be sort of the next piece of telling the story of Krypton and sort of further clarifying what the House of El is all about.”

Krumholtz, who plays Zor-El, also confirmed that “everybody knows that Jason Momoa is playing Lobo in it. So it’s that comic plus Lobo,” teasing the bounty hunter’s inclusion in the story. The film marks another step in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reimagined DC Universe, following Superman, and will connect to projects like Lanterns to establish the cosmic side of the franchise.

Craig Gillespie directs Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira. The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, joined by David Krumholtz, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Jason Momoa. It serves as the second feature in the DCU’s “Gods and Monsters” chapter and releases on June 26, 2026.

During the same Nerdtropolis conversation, Krumholtz and interviewer Sean Tajipour discussed actor Caleb Alexander Smith’s potential as Batman. “I want to see him as Bruce Wayne,” Tajipour said, while Krumholtz agreed, “No, he’d be an awesome Bruce Wayne.” Smith replied, “Start the conversation. I’m here for it. I’m tired of being the other guy.”
