What can we take away from the Supergirl teaser trailer? That Milly Alcock, one of the best things to emerge from House of the Dragon, was the perfect choice for the titular character.
“This is really an anti-hero story. What I loved about the script that Anna [Nogueira, screenwriter] wrote is that Supergirl’s got a lot of baggage and a lot of demons coming into this, which is very different than where Superman is in his life,” said director Craig Gillespie. “And having Milly [Alcock] being able to come in and play that and all the complexity of that and do it in a way that in a very human way, where we can actually have empathy for her, and have that dance of the humor and someone that has that toughness…it was such a gift to get her. It’s really surprising the headspace Supergirl is in and the journey she gets to go on, which is very unusual for a typical superhero movie, which this is not.”
In addition to Alcock as Supergirl/Kara Zor-El, the 2026 release stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.
Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios released the following synopsis: “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.”
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and James Gunn serve as producers, with Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo, and Lars P. Winther executive producing. Gillespie’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, visual effects supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Ramin Djawadi.
Supergirl opens in theaters and IMAX on June 26, 2026.
