June 4, 2026 – The hype for DC Studios’ next major release reached new heights on Wednesday as the final trailer for Supergirl premiered, building anticipation for the film’s theatrical debut later this month.
Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) and written by Ana Nogueira, the movie is based on Tom King’s acclaimed comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl, a hardened survivor of Krypton on a gritty interstellar quest for vengeance.
The 2-minute-plus trailer showcases high-octane action sequences, including confrontations with Jason Momoa’s Lobo, appearances by Krypto the Superdog, and a brief Superman cameo by David Corenswet. It highlights the contrast between Supergirl’s trauma-informed worldview—“She sees the truth”—and her cousin Superman’s optimism.
