Ana Nogueira is a (super)girl on a mission…

The 38-year-old Latina actress, playwright and screenwriter has been tapped to write Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for Warner Bros. and DC Studios.

The project is a standalone film that will follow Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman. The film is still in early development and no director is attached at this time.

While plot details for the film are still vague, the original comic follows Supergirl as she gets caught up in a young alien girl’s quest for revenge.

The film is a big part of DC Studio Co-Chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran’s grand plan to re-launch the DC universe starting with Superman Legacy that Gunn is writing and directing with David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan starring. Production for that film will begin next year.

Nogueira, the actress turned playwright, most recently penned her Off-Broadway play Which Way To The Stage, which debuted in 2022. On the film side she is adapting the novel Mothers, Lock Up Your Daughters for 21 Laps Entertainment.
