Matthias Schoenaerts Cast as Villain in Supergirl

Matthias Schoenaerts is set to portray the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills in the upcoming DC film 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', starring Milly Alcock as the titular superheroine. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film is based on the comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, focusing on a young alien girl's quest for revenge, which draws Supergirl into a conflict after Krem injures her companion, Krypto. Production is expected to begin in early 2025, following the completion of James Gunn's 'Superman', with the release date set for June 26, 2026. This iteration of Supergirl will offer a darker, more complex take on the character compared to previous adaptations. The casting of Schoenaerts was closely supervised by James Gunn, emphasizing the significance of the role within the broader DC universe. The film represents a key project in the new phase of DC Studios under Gunn and Safran's direction.
