In October 2022, it was announced in the Hollywood Reporter that James Gunn and Peter Safran will be leading the rebirth of the DC Cinematic Universe, with the goal of tying together movies, TV shows, and animated series in a way DC has struggled to do in the past. While many fans clamored for the return of beloved actors like Henry Cavill, Gunn and Safran made it clear that their plans to reboot the franchise would come at the cost of previously-established storylines and film adaptations.

In January 2023, Gunn announced the first slate of films in the brand-new DC Universe, titled "Gods and Monsters" (via The Hollywood Reporter). Among them include new takes on Superman and Batman, as well as a spin on the iconic character of Supergirl titled "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow." Although the character has existed via a show on The CW since 2015, this new version of the character will draw inspiration from the eight-issue comic book series of the same name from 2021.

Given all the monumental changes coming DC's way, it's an exciting time to be a fan of the superhero franchise. "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" promises to be one of the more interesting upcoming titles, focusing on what Gunn calls a "more hard-core" version of the character than audiences are used to. With that in mind, these 10 young actresses could be the ones to blast their way into becoming household names by playing the iconic cousin of Clark Kent.
