David Krumholtz Confirms He Will Play Zor-El in DC's SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW Movie
Last week, it was reported that DC Studios' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow had added David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) and Emily Beecham (Into The Badlands) to its cast.
At the time, the report only said that the pair would play "Supergirl's parents," but didn't clarify if they'd been cast as Kara's biological mother and father Alura and Zor-El, or her human adoptive parents, Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers.
Krumholtz is now verifying that they will indeed play Alura and Zor-El, and he talked about his love of the comics in a post that reads:
"I was that kid. Overflowing drawers full of comics… escaping into worlds unknown… imagining myself having powers that would benefit the greater good. Joining the DC Universe is a mindblowing privilege.
“Representing the symbol of hope in Supergirl as Zor-El is a personal triumph. My gratitude overflowing now, like those drawers did…."
The film will also star Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) as Ruthye Marye Knoll, and Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills. More recently, Aquaman star Jason Momoa joined the cast as Lobo. Krypto the Superdog is also expected to play a major role in the story.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has begun shooting, and is expected to arrive in theaters on June 26, 2026.
