Though it's encouraging news, nothing is set in stone, and another actress could ultimately land the part.
The new movie is inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely's miniseries of the same name. In the twelve-issue series, Kara Zor-El is in a spot in her life where she needs to find purpose despite all the numerous adventures she's been on. She's only seen as famous for her Superman connection. However, things change as an alien girl gets in touch with her for a mission because her world is destroyed. The enemies responsible are out there, and she wants revenge with Supergirl's help. This leads to a space journey of epic proportions.
It will be exciting to see whether Emilia Jones, Meg Donnelly, or Emilia Jones gets the part of Supergirl. They'd all be great for it. In the meantime, we'll eagerly await more updates about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
