Supergirl: Emilia Jones & 2 Others to Screen Test for DCU Character

It sounds like a few actresses will be doing screen tests for the character of Supergirl in the new DC Universe.

Deadline is reporting that DC Studios is looking to have Emilia Jones, Milly Alcock, and Meg Donnelly test for the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. Though the first Supergirl movie in the DCU — titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow — was announced to be part of Phase One, the outlet says the character could be making a cameo in a DC movie that isn’t said film.

A director for the Supergirl movie is still being searched for, but it sounds as though an actress for the character is the current priority since she could appear in a project beforehand. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is apparently involved in the process, with the screen tests likely to take place in the next month.

What other projects will be part of the DCU’s first phase?

The DC Universe’s first phase, called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, will feature a multitude of different movies and television shows. A few of the announced projects include Superman: Legacy, a Batman and Robin-focused movie called The Brave and the Bold, the Supergirl movie titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing film, and multiple TV shows.
