Supergirl Will Have a Role in the Superman Sequel Man of Tomorrow

Supergirl is weeks away from opening in theaters, but Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El will return for a role in the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow.

Supergirl is mere weeks away from getting released, and we get to see her going off to rescue the goodest boy in the DC universe. However, it sounds like this won't be the last time we see her. The first time we met Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El was at the end of Superman, when she turned up to pick up Krypto. We find out that Clark was essentially dog-sitting and getting his ass handed to him by said dog. The scene was brief, but it told us a lot about the character long before we saw a single frame of her solo adventure.

Now that the movie is coming out, and another Superman movie is currently filming, Man of Tomorrow. Whatever happens in Supergirl, Kara will eventually make her way back to Earth because she has a role in the new Superman movie. Variety did an extensive interview with Alcock, in which it was revealed that she will "be on her way back to Atlanta to play Kara again, in James Gunn's Superman: Man of Tomorrow, as the DCU continues to build on itself." Peter Safran, DC Studios' co-chairman and co-CEO, added that Kara is "a major part of what we're doing."

Supergirl returning for Man of Tomorrow isn't that surprising at all when you remember that Gunn has referred to these movies as The Superman Saga. While Clark's name might be the forefront, there has always been more to Superman than just Clark, and DC has been categorizing their heroes as family units for decades, so that logic applies to the movies makes perfect sense.
