Supergirl Trailer: Meet Superman’s Boozy, Brawling Cousin

Supergirl is a Kryptonian wild child going through a hell of a quarter life crisis in the first trailer for the next DCU movie.

We first met Milly Alcock’s Supergirl when she made a brief fly-by appearance in James Gunn‘s Superman, drunk as hell and wanting to know where her dog was. Now comes our first look at her solo film, directed by Cruella‘s Craig Gillespie, and it seems she plans to continue in that vein.

What’s the plot?

As the official synopsis tells us:

Milly Alcock is Supergirl only in cinemas June 2026

Well, that’s just great. But what we do know is that Supergirl, drunk, depressed, and living in Superman’s shadow, meets a fellow orphan in the form of alien foundling Ruthye Marye Knoll, and sets off on some kinda mission of revenge. What I’ve heard is that in doing so she teams up with Jason Momoa’s Lobo in a sort of True Grit-style dynamic and, frankly, that’s me sold. You mad me at hello, shut up and take my money, etc and so forth.

Who’s in it?

• Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl, Superman’s cousin, who was raised on an errant chunk of Krypton and watched everyone around her die of Kryptonite poisoning, leaving with her with a hefty dose of PTSD and a bit of a live fast, die young situation going on.
• Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills – no further info, but strong villain vibes.
• Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, a young orphan and human (well, alien) MacGuffin.
• David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Supergirl’s father.
• Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, Supergirl’s mother
• Jason Momoa as Lobo: the main man! The Last Czarnian! The ‘Bo! He who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it! And so forth. One of the most obvious and welcome casting choices in the history of theatrical performance.

When’s it out?

Supergirl hits cinemas on June 25, 2026.

What’s the vibe?

I’m here for it. I dig James Gunn’s general schtick way too much as it stands, and I like Craig Gillespie as a director, and all other considerations aside, Momoa as Lobo is something I just need to see. Not a lot of critical distance on this one, folks.
