Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has found its Ruthye Mary Knolle, with Deadline reporting that Eve Ridley has joined onto the cast of the upcoming DCU film.
Ridley will join Milly Alcock and Matthias Schoenaerts in the film, the former of whom was tapped to play the titular role of Supergirl earlier this year. Ridley is a relative newcomer, and is best known so far for her role in the Netflix sci-fi series Three Body Problem, where she plays Vera Ye.

“Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but finds her life without meaning or purpose,” the solicitation for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 reads. “Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was sent to Earth to protect a baby cousin who ended up not needing her. What was it all for? Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame. Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission. Her world has been destroyed, and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost. Now a Kryptonian, a dog, and an angry, heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core.”
