The upcoming Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock has officially found its main villain, with Matthias Schoenaerts set to take on the role of Krem of the Yellow Hills. This casting announcement brings the project one step closer to production as anticipation builds around Alcock’s portrayal of the iconic DC heroine.
Titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the upcoming DC Universe movie is based on the comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. The series follows a young alien girl seeking Supergirl’s help to avenge her family’s murder. The villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills, is responsible for the girl’s father’s death and injures Supergirl’s companion, Krypto, drawing her into the conflict.
Matthias Schoenaerts, known for his recent role in The Regime alongside Kate Winslet, is playing Krem of the Yellow Hills. His past work includes Rust and Bone, Red Sparrow, and The Old Guard.

Director Craig Gillespie, known for his distinctive filmmaking style with projects like I, Tonya and Cruella, will helm the Supergirl movie, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin. The project was written by Ana Nogueira.
The casting process for Supergirl was closely overseen by James Gunn. Given the character’s potential involvement in other DC Studios projects beyond Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the casting decision was particularly crucial. For now, Milly Alcock’s Supergirl is expected to make her debut before her standalone movie.
