DC Studios sets ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ for June 2026 debut

Milly Alcock to star in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as James Gunn’s DCU expands.

The newly formed DC Studios has officially greenlit Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for a June 26, 2026 release. Starring Milly Alcock, the film is being marketed as a "punk rock" space epic that differentiates itself from the hopeful tone of the upcoming Superman film.

Director Craig Gillespie is reportedly utilizing a script that remains very faithful to the Tom King comic, emphasizing Kara’s survivalist instincts. Unlike her cousin Clark, this version of Kara Zor-El grew up on a drifting fragment of Krypton, watching her world die. The film will explore her journey across the stars alongside a young alien girl named Ruthye. DC heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have teased that the movie’s visual language will be "unlike anything seen in a superhero movie before," leaning into cosmic horror and high-fantasy aesthetics.

‘Mortal Kombat II’ sequel to bring Johnny Cage to theaters in May 2026

Karl Urban joins the cast as Mortal Kombat II promises a bigger, bloodier tournament.

Mortal Kombat II is officially scheduled for a May 8, 2026 release. Following the 2021 reboot, this sequel is described by early reviewers as a "crowd-pleasing action blast." Director Simon McQuoid has returned to helm the project, which focuses on the final tournament to save Earthrealm.

The film stars Karl Urban as the "bumbling has-been 80s action hero" Johnny Cage, a role Urban has reportedly played with "unapologetic gusto." The story centers on Cage joining Earth's defenders against the brutal Shao Kahn, played by Martyn Ford. Adeline Rudolph joins as Kitana, bringing a restrained, vengeful energy to the cast. Sources indicate the film features significantly more humor and "fatality-grade" action sequences, aiming to satisfy both die-hard gamers and general action movie fans.

Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune: Part Three’ expected to wrap sci-fi trilogy in 2026

Legendary Entertainment eyes late 2026 release for Dune: Part Three as Paul Atreides’ story reaches its climax.

Following the massive success of the first two chapters, director Denis Villeneuve is fast-tracking development for Dune: Messiah. Legendary Entertainment has officially confirmed the release date as December 18, 2026, marking a monumental conclusion to the Arrakis trilogy.

The production reached a major milestone this week with the casting of Robert Pattinson as the villainous Tleilaxu Face Dancer, Scytale. Pattinson’s character is central to the conspiracy against the Emperor Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). Villeneuve has described the film as a "cautionary tale" that shifts the focus from the hero’s journey to the burden of prophecy. With pre-production already transitioning into active filming, the studio is reportedly planning a 7-minute preview for upcoming trade conventions to showcase the expanded scale of the Arrakeen capital.
