The Girl of Steel is headed to the big screen yet again, with DC Studios officially announcing plans for a Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie. The blockbuster film will be set in the first Chapter of the new DC Universe of movies and TV shows, titled “Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.” Not only is the prospect of a Supergirl movie surprising DC fans, but the idea that it’s based on Woman of Tomorrow, the recent comic of the same name from Tom King and Bilquis Evely, is particularly interesting. In a recent tweet, King — who is reportedly part of DC Studios’ “brain trust” of writers across the franchise — took to Twitter on Tuesday to break his silence on the news.
Supergirl was a small, ambitious book that got out there and got attention because of the passion of all the fans who took a chance, read it, and shared it. We saw what you did; @BilquisEvely and I are nothing but grateful. pic.twitter.com/lgpBjCAidv
