Set to release on June 26, 2026, Supergirl is a bold new chapter in the DC Universe under the direction of Craig Gillespie and the creative leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran. Based on the acclaimed comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, the film introduces a darker, more hardened version of Kara Zor-El, played by Milly Alcock (of House of the Dragon fame).
Unlike her cousin Superman, Kara grew up witnessing the slow death of Krypton and the suffering of its people. The story follows her journey across the galaxy alongside her loyal companion Krypto the Superdog and a determined young girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll (played by Eve Ridley), who seeks revenge for her father’s murder.
Together, they pursue the mysterious and ruthless villain Krem of the Yellow Hills (portrayed by Matthias Schoenaerts), traveling from planet to planet in a sweeping space adventure filled with danger, grief, and growth.
Blending cosmic fantasy, deep emotional stakes, and powerful visuals, Supergirl promises to redefine the character not just as Superman’s cousin, but as a hero in her own right. With rumored appearances from characters like Lobo (possibly played by Jason Momoa), and a unique tone that fuses epic science fiction with character-driven drama, this film is shaping up to be one of the most daring and exciting entries in the new DCU.
