DC Studios head James Gunn has confirmed that Milly Alcock, the new Supergirl, will first appear in the Superman film before starring in her own movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

The article speculates that her role in Superman will likely be a small but pivotal introduction that establishes her origin on Earth. The most likely scenario is based on the 2004 comic storyline Superman/Batman: Supergirl, where Kara Zor-El's rocket crashes on Earth (specifically in Gotham Harbor). She is discovered disoriented and confused, and Superman must help his cousin acclimate to her new life and powers.

This appearance in Superman would serve two main purposes:

1. Set the Stage: It will introduce her character and her relationship with Superman.
2. Provide Contrast: It will show a younger, newly-arrived Supergirl, which will contrast with the more hardened and jaded version of the character to be explored in her solo film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which is based on a story where she is a more mature and world-weary hero.
