Supergirl's Scriptwriter on Surprising Creative Shifts
25 Jun
Summary
- Writer Ana Noguiera penned two different Supergirl scripts for the DCU.
- Most of the original script elements were removed for the new film.
- Superman's powers are limited only by imagination, not fixed metrics.
The upcoming Supergirl film, a key project for DCU heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, is reportedly facing lower-than-expected box office projections. Screenwriter Ana Noguiera revealed that she was initially assigned to write a script for Sasha Calle's DCEU Supergirl before transitioning to the new movie starring Milly Alcock. Noguiera stated that very little from her initial script is present in the 2026 release, but her prior extensive work understanding Supergirl's powers proved beneficial. She also addressed the classic comic book debate about Superman's abilities, explaining that his power levels are not fixed but are limited solely by the creative team's imagination. This flexibility allows for variations in his powers, such as time-altering feats, depending on the narrative needs. Supergirl is scheduled to be released on Friday, June 26. The film is expected to be a significant indicator of the new DCU's potential. For those interested in Superman's origins, James Gunn's Superman is available on HBO Max.
