News Supergirl The First Supergirl Trailer Is… Odd Don’t hurt the dog!!! Even though he’s CGI. By Molly Templeton | Published on December 11, 2025 Screenshot: DC Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: DC Studios Our introduction to the latest version of Kara Zor-El came at the end of Superman, where she stumbled into the Fortress of Solitude to reclaim her feisty pet. Kara gets her own movie next summer, and we finally have our first look at it—and an odd look it is. This Kara (Milly Alcock) is walking the Jessica Jones/Yelena Belova/comic-book-Carol Danvers path of being a messy drinker (can we not find any other way to let superheroic women be prickly?) with an attitude. She did see her whole world get destroyed, so the attitude is certainly justified. When she meets a young girl on a quest for vengeance, she seems to find something to do with her super-life. Or, as the synopsis puts it: “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.” Supergirl seems to be following its source material quite closely. The movie is based on the comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Everly, in which Kara reluctantly teams up with Ruthye Marye Knoll (played here by Eve Ridley) whose father has been murdered by a fellow named Krem of the Yellow Hills (played by Matthias Schoenaerts). But there are a few beats outside the comic, including the brief appearance of Lobo (Jason Momoa), who you will literally miss if you blink. The movie also stars David Krumholtz (as Zor-El) and Emily Beecham (as Alura In-Ze). And what a strange movie it looks to be: Spunky and rebellious in character, but visually brown and dark. The use of Blondie’s “Call Me” is entirely in keeping with James Gunn’s DC universe, but it fits neither the visual vibe nor the overall tone. This trailer is one big mash-up that doesn’t quite land—though Alcock seems delightful. Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya; Cruella) from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries, The Blacklist). It’s in theaters June 26, 2026.[end-mark] The post The First <i>Supergirl</i> Trailer Is… Odd appeared first on Reactor.
