Not a whole lot is known about Supergirl as of now, but a new rumor suggests that Matthias Schoenaerts’ villainous character will have a frightening design.
What is the latest DCU rumor regarding Supergirl’s villain?
According to a new post from noted insider Daniel Richtman, Schoenaerts’ role as Krem of the Yellow Hills has seen the character get a bit of a redesign. Richtman notes the character now looks “more like a monster” and that he’ll be seen carrying around dead alien rats to eat.
In the Tom King comic run that the film is based on, Krem of the Yellow Hills is a man who kills the mother of Ruthye Marye Knoll, a warrior who then seeks Supergirl’s help in getting revenge.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be based on Tom King’s 2021-2022 comic book series, which Bilquis Evely illustrated. The film stars Alcock, who will play the titular role of Kara Zor-El and will be written by Ana Nogueira and produced by DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
“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, who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl,” said Gunn of the project in 2023. “She’s much more hardcore; she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be based on Tom King’s 2021-2022 comic book series, which was illustrated by Bilquis Evely. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie with a release date currently set for June 26, 2026.
