Ana Nogueira’s ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ Script Revealed: Release Date, Plot Clues & How It Reshapes the DC Universe

Ana Nogueira, the playwright-turned-screenwriter behind DC’s upcoming “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” has been hired by DC Studios to write the franchise’s next “Wonder Woman” film, according to industry reports confirmed by Variety and TheWrap. The move instantly positions Nogueira as one of the most influential voices shaping the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran. Why DC Tapped Nogueira Now • Proven DC pedigree: Studio executives have praised Nogueira’s “Supergirl” script for its fresh character work and cosmic scope, signaling confidence that she can give Diana Prince a similarly revitalized narrative. • Franchise reset: With Patty Jenkins’ trilogy concluded, Gunn’s reboot strategy requires a writer who can blend mythic themes with contemporary relevance—skills Nogueira honed in her award-winning off-Broadway play “Empathitrax.” • Rising creative momentum: Over the past two years, she has transitioned from acting roles on “The Vampire Diaries” and “Sarah + Dee” to high-profile screenplay assignments, making her ascent one of the fastest in Hollywood’s comic-book space. What to Expect from the New “Wonder Woman” Script Early chatter suggests Nogueira is exploring an Amazon-centered storyline that broadens Themyscira’s political dynamics while grounding Diana in a post-“Gods and Monsters” DC timeline. Sources say a draft could reach the studio before year’s end, paving the way for a 2027 release window. Industry and Fan Reaction • Filmmaker James Gunn called her initial outline “an amazing take that honors the character while pushing her into unexpected territory” during a Threads Q&A last night. • Social media buzz exploded within hours of the news; #AnaNogueira trended in the United States as fans praised the studio for spotlighting another female writer on a flagship superhero property. • Analysts note the hire could improve DC’s perception among female audiences and restore box-office momentum after the mixed reception of recent releases. Nogueira’s Career at a Glance – B.A. in Theatre, University of Pennsylvania – Breakout performance in the original cast of “Hamilton” off-Broadway (originated the role of Eliza in early workshops) – Playwriting accolades for “Which Way to the Stage” and “Empathitrax” – Screenplay assignments: “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” “Teen Titans” (in development), and now “Wonder Woman” What Comes Next Production start dates will hinge on script delivery and DC’s broader slate scheduling. Casting decisions—especially whether Gal Gadot returns or a new Diana steps in—remain unannounced, but insiders expect clarity once Nogueira turns in her first draft.
