Posted on September 24, 2024 by Neil Cole
Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts has been cast in the role of a yet-to-be-named villain in "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" opposite actress Milly Alcock ("House of the Dragon") who will star in the title role of the DC Studios film.
Schoenaerts is best known for his roles as Filip in "Loft" (2008), Jacky Vanmarsenille in the Oscar-nominated "Bullhead" (2011), Ali in the BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominee "Rust and Bone" (2012), for which he won the César Award for Most Promising Actor, Eric Deeds in "The Drop" (2014), Bruno von Falk in "Suite Francaise" (2015), Gabriel Oak in "Far from the Madding Crowd" (2015), Hans Axgil in "The Danish Girl" (2015) and Uncle Vanya in "Red Sparrow" (2018). He also received critical acclaim for his portrayal of an ex-soldier suffering from PTSD in "Disorder" (2015), and for his performance as an inmate training a wild horse in "The Mustang" (2019).
"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" will be directed by Craig Gillespie ("Fright Night", "Cruella", "Dumb Money") and will be based on a script by actress and playwright Ana Nogueira who was also recently tapped to write the script for a live-action "Teen Titans" film.
In early 2023, director James Gunn spoke to reporters about the film stating, "We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth."
"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is scheduled to release June 26, 2026.
