The first trailer for Supergirl has landed, giving us a real look at Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El and the tone of DC Studios’ next big chapter. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie, based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, as the second film in the new DCU.
This Supergirl is rougher around the edges than her cousin. The trailer leans into Kara’s trauma and cynicism, set to Blondie’s “Call Me,” as she drinks on alien worlds, spends her 23rd birthday alone, and flatly says that while Superman sees the good in everyone, she sees the truth. It plays like a character piece wrapped in a cosmic road trip, with plenty of bitter humor and a sense that Kara is trying to outrun Krypton’s destruction and her own anger.
There are still big superhero fireworks. We get quick looks at Jason Momoa’s Lobo, Krypto causing chaos, young Ruthye Marye Knoll teaming up with Kara, and hints of a revenge quest against Krem of the Yellow Hills that pulls them across strange planets. It feels separate from James Gunn’s Superman while clearly occupying the same universe, positioning Supergirl as a darker, spacefaring counterpoint who might steal the spotlight when she finally arrives.
