It was for the DCEU, the franchise that began with 2013&#8217;s <em>Man of Steel<\/em> with Henry Cavill and ended with 2023&#8217;s <em>Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom<\/em> with Jason Momoa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The project was meant for actress Sasha Calle, who made her debut as Superman&#8217;s cousin in 2023&#8217;s <em>The Flash<\/em>. &#8220;It was completely different,&#8221; Noguiera tells <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I can even say what it was about, but it could not have been more different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The tweaks were vast, ranging from character to tone to mythology. &#8220;Everything,&#8221; the scribe emphasizes. &#8220;Nothing transferred over from one to the other [Supergirl movie], which is crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Sasha Calle&#8217;s Supergirl in &#8216;The Flash&#8217;<br \/>Credit: Courtesy of Warner Bros.

It wasn&#8217;t. Her duties reoriented around a new Supergirl movie, one that would fit into their world of the DCU, which now includes 2024&#8217;s <em>Creature Commandos<\/em> animated series, 2025&#8217;s <em>Superman<\/em> with David Corenswet, and <em>Peacemaker<\/em> season 2 with John Cena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Supergirl<\/em> with Alcock as Kara Zor-El is now based on the famed <em>Woman of Tomorrow<\/em> comic book arc by writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely. While partying on planets that orbit red suns, the cousin of Superman is approached by a young alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who seeks a warrior to avenge her slaughtered family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite her initial disinterest, Kara develops a personal stake when Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), the one who killed Ruthye&#8217;s parents and brother, poisons her dog Krypto. Now, Supergirl has only three days to find him, grab the antidote, and save her lasting family tie to Krypton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Momoa also re-enters the DC fold as a different character, Lobo, a heavy-metal intergalactic bounty hunter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Regarding that earlier <em>Supergirl<\/em> treatment, which is now destined to collect dust in a drawer somewhere, &#8220;It was useful to me,&#8221; Noguiera says. &#8220;There is a real thing when you&#8217;re doing this, you have to really onboard yourself on things like power set, what these characters are capable of, what a fight would look like, how strong you want them to be. How strong is Superman? He&#8217;s as strong as the writer needs him to [be]. Do you need them to throw a planet? Then you can do it. Do you need him to get the s&#8212; kicked out of him? So that was really useful, that I knew that power set for [Supergirl] in and out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El in 'Supergirl'Credit: Courtesy of Warner Bros.
