2) Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
DC is set to introduce a fresh new version of Supergirl in the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, scheduled for release on June 26, 2026. Directed by Craig Gillespie, this movie will showcase a different, more complex side of Supergirl, making her distinct from her famous cousin, Superman.
A Tougher Supergirl Version
Unlike Superman, who was raised with love and care on Earth, Supergirl’s life was far more tragic. She spent most of her childhood on a broken Krypton, watching her loved ones die in front of her eyes before she eventually arrived on Earth. These traumatic experiences hardened her mentally, making her a ruthless and battle-hardened hero.
Inspired by Tom King’s Comic Run
This film is inspired by Tom King’s comic book run, which portrays Kara Zor-El as a warrior on a cosmic journey. The story explores her struggles, survival, and quest for justice, showing a side of Supergirl that hasn’t been explored deeply in live-action before.
Cast and What to Expect
Milly Alcock as Supergirl/Kara Zor-El
Jason Momoa as Lobo – The infamous intergalactic bounty hunter
With an intense storyline and deep emotional weight, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to deliver a powerful and unique superhero experience. This film is definitely going to be lit!
3) Clayface (2026)
Clayface is one of Batman’s most unique and terrifying villains, and his live-action debut will definitely give chills in cinemas when it is released. He is finally getting the recognition he deserves, stepping into the spotlight in the DC Universe. With the ability to transform into anyone, Clayface is one of the most intriguing and dangerous characters in DC Comics.
Who is Clayface?
Clayface is not just a single character but a name used by multiple villains in DC Comics. The most well-known version is Basil Karlo, a former actor who, after being exposed to mysterious chemicals, gains the ability to morph his body into any form. This allows him to impersonate people, shape-shift, and create deadly weapons from his own body.
Clayface in Live Action
Rumors suggest that Clayface might appear in The Batman – Part II, directed by Matt Reeves, but nothing has been officially confirmed. If true, this would be the first serious live-action adaptation of the character. With his tragic backstory and monstrous abilities, Clayface is more than just a villain—he’s a tragic figure consumed by his own power.
