US EditionMilly Alcock: Supergirl 'Doesn't Want to Be a Hero'
Milly Alcock plays a flawed Supergirl battling personal demons and reluctance to be a hero in a darker DC movie inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic.
- On Thursday, Dec. 11, Warner Bros. released the first Supergirl trailer, opening with Kara Zor-El hungover and disoriented while framing her cynicism against Superman's optimism.
- James Gunn said the film adapts Tom King and Bilquis Evely's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and announced via Instagram Threads that Craig Gillespie, director, finished filming this year.
- Set to Blondie's "Call Me," the trailer opens with Krypto the Superdog, while Gillespie said, `Emotionally where she is in the story dictated a lot of how these fight sequences go.`
- Director Craig Gillespie framed the film as an anti-hero story and the trailer teases Jason Momoa as Lobo, positioning the film within the broader DCU.
- Supergirl opens in theaters June 26, 2026, establishing its release within Gunn's DCU rollout, which continues with Clayface and Man of Tomorrow scheduled July 9, 2027.
