Progress on DC Studios' Supergirl movie, which appears to be up next in the rebooted universe after James Gunn's Superman, is being made fast, and now we've learned that I, Tonya and Cruella director Craig Gillespie will be helming the long-awaited adaptation.

Deadline dropped this news on April 3, saying that the director was deep in talks with the studio to direct the Ana Nogueira-written big-screen debut of the character, who's set to be played by House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock.

The movie is reportedly based on Tom King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2021) comic book series, which showed Kara Zor-El taking "revenge on the bad guys who destroyed her world."
