“Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El,” Gunn wrote on X. “Craig brings an incredible sensibility to this story, and Milly is every inch the unique #Supergirl envisioned by Tom King, Bilquis Evely & Ana Nogueira.”

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is based on Tom King’s 2022 comic book series of the same name, with illustrations by Bilquis Evely. In the comic, Kara, the cousin of Superman, journeys across the galaxy and eventually meets Ruthye Marye Knoll, an honorable warrior who seeks revenge against the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Eve Ridley will play Ruthye Marye Knoll, while Matthias Schoenaerts will portray Krem of the Yellow Hills. David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham will depict Supergirl’s parents. After playing Aquaman, Jason Momoa joins Gunn’s new DC Universe as Lobo, who will appear in Supergirl.

James Gunn praises Jason Momoa as Lobo: ‘Can’t wait to share that with all of you’

Jason Momoa holds a mic while sitting down.

James Gunn always believed that Jason Momoa was born to play Lobo.

After nearly a decade of playing Aquaman, Momoa will get the chance to star as the cigar-loving antihero in Gunn's DC Universe. Momoa will first appear as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
On X, Gunn shared a text exchange with Momoa from October 2022, when the Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker was named co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran. Momoa texted Gunn, "F****** Lobo," to which Gunn replied, "Dude, I’ve said you should be Lobo for years. No lie." Gunn posted the texts along with a photo of Lobo.
“On the anniversary of Lobo, I can’t help but think of a text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning it was announced Peter & I were the heads of DC Studios — the day Jason & I first discussed him joining the DCU as Lobo, Gunn wrote. "I’ve loved watching Jason bring him to life & can’t wait to share that with all of you.”

Who will direct the next James Bond? Christopher Nolan, Edward Berger top list

Daniel Craig in Skyfall

James Bond now belongs to Amazon.
On February 20, Amazon MGM Studios acquired creative control of Bond from longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Wilson and Broccoli will remain co-owners of the espionage franchise and form a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights.
With control over the franchise, expect Amazon to begin searching for the next actor to play Bond. Amazon also must find the right filmmaker to helm Bond 26. Sometimes, the most obvious choice is the right choice, and that's Christopher Nolan.
According to The Wrap, Nolan remains the "top choice and the perfect filmmaker" to tackle the next Bond movie. Nolan has been rumored to the Bond franchise for over a decade. Nolan reportedly wanted to direct a Bond movie after 2020's Tenet. However, Broccoli would not allow Nolan to have final cut, so he pivoted to making Oppenheimer, an invigorating drama that won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

“If Amazon wants to preserve the legacy, they should do everything possible to get Chris Nolan and wait for him as long as needed,” a movie producer told TheWrap.
If Amazon wants Nolan, they will have to wait until the British filmmaker finishes The Odyssey for Universal, which is currently filming and set for a theatrical release on July 17, 2026. Because Amazon must hit a home run with their first Bond movie, Amazon waiting for Nolan to finish The Odyssey before tackling Bond 26 is a safe assumption.
