News Supergirl Kara Makes Friends (Sorta) And Must Save Krypto in the New Supergirl Trailer I just think there are other ways to create tension than putting cute animals in danger By Molly Templeton | Published on March 31, 2026 Screenshot: DC Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: DC Studios What did we say last time, DC Studios? We said DON’T HURT THE DOG. But of course they didn’t listen. The latest trailer for director Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl gives a little more sense of what kicks off the plot of this movie—and it’s not pretty. Avert your eyes, dog-lovers: The villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts) takes a shot at Krypto, who then “has three days.” And he’s all Kara (Milly Alcock) has got, you know? We get friendly, people-loving Superman (David Corenswet) on a TV screen to drive this home. She hasn’t found her people. She thinks she doesn’t have any. But at that point, she hasn’t met Lobo (Jason Momoa) yet. Or Ruthye (Eve Ridley), the kid with whom she’s going to team up with on “an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.” (She may also be teaming up with Lobo; the synopsis refers to an “unlikely companion,” which could be either. Or both!) Supergirl used to have the subtitle Woman of Tomorrow, which is the name of the Tom King & Bilquis Evely comic series that inspired the film. It has since lost that subtitle. The basic plot—the team-up with Ruthye, the villain—remains the same; the color palette, though, is notably different from the comic, which might make a person wonder how much else the movie has changed. The screenplay is by Ana Nogueira, who is working on a whole pile of DC productions. Director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya; Pam & Tommy) remains an odd choice for this project. Supergirl is in theaters June 26.[end-mark] The post Kara Makes Friends (Sorta) And Must Save Krypto in the New <i>Supergirl</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.
