The hype for next year’s Supergirl has already begun. Anyone who saw Superman over the weekend already knows this (I won’t reveal how), but it becomes more clear today with James Gunn’s release of a new poster featuring star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, who is very different from her boyscout cousin from Metropolis.
Backing up Gunn’s recent assertion that Kara Zor-El is a “total mess” compared to Superman, the new poster features Supergirl sucking down a blue slushee with blood on her hands, in front of a sign graffitied to read “Look Out” rather than “Look Up”, her cousin’s DCU tagline.The long leather duster over her costume also seems to indicate a surly attitude, likely gained by fighting and partying her way from planet to planet after Krypton was destroyed. It might also explain why her dog, Krypto, is in such dire need of obedience training.
Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie and based on the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic book. The story involves Kara traveling across the galaxy with alien Ruthye Marye Knoll on a quest for revenge.
Eve Ridley plays Ruthye Marye Knoll, with Matthias Schoenarts as villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. David Krumholtz plays Kara’s father, Zor-El, with Emily Beecham as her mother, Alura In-Ze. Jason Momoa is also expected to appear as DC Comics antihero, Lobo. Of course, Krypto the Super-Dog will be around, too.
Supergirl hits theaters on June 26th 2026.
