Supergirl suit officially revealed after Milly Alcock's big-screen debut
Now that Superman is out in the world, it's time to look ahead at the next DCU movie. James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios, released the official first image of House of the Dragon and Sirens breakout Milly Alcock in her Supergirl suit for next year's event film. Audiences who came to theaters this month to watch Superman (and based on the box office numbers, there were a lot of you) already saw Alcock's Kara Zor-El make her grand entrance on the big screen. Wednesday's image is the only officially released glimpse of the costume. The marketing tweaks the Superman tagline for Supergirl. Instead of "Look Up," it's now "Look Out." Alcock's Kara, cousin of Kal-El/Clark Kent (David Corenswet), appeared at the end of Superman. Off camera, she left her dog, Krypto, in Kal-El's care while she partied on planets with Red Suns. Unlike the Yellow Sun near planet Earth, Red Suns deplete Kryptonians' abilities. Kara used that to enjoy the effects of alcohol and other adult substances. "She's a mess. She's a total mess," Gunn, who also wrote and directed Superman, told ScreenRant in a recent interview. "As we learn, she's had a completely different background from Superman, a much more difficult background. He's had this wonderful upbringing by these two parents that loved him and were very healthy, and her background was much different than that."Supergirl, which is based on the beloved Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book arc, will follow Kara as she's approached by galactic warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who asks for help hunting down those who killed her father and destroyed her world. Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) will play the villain Krem of the Yellow Hill, while Jason Momoa (former Aquaman actor) will debut as Lobo, a motorcycle-riding space bounty hunter from the comics. Craig Gillespie directs the movie, which is scheduled for theaters on June 26, 2026. "In our story, we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents. Kara was on Krypton," Gunn said at a previous press event in 2023. "She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet and she lived there for the first 14 years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. So she's a much harsher and more f---ed up Supergirl than you've been used to thus far." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword

First ‘Supergirl' poster teases a gritty new vision with Milly Alcock in the lead
Warner Bros. Pictures has dropped the first teaser poster for its upcoming Supergirl film, giving fans their first real glimpse of Milly Alcock's highly anticipated debut as Kara Zor-El. The movie is slated to hit theatres on June 26, 2026. The teaser art takes a bold, rebellious turn. Set against a gritty urban backdrop, the phrase 'Look Out' is spray-painted in graffiti-style over the more classic 'Look Up tagline, signalling a grittier, more grounded version of the iconic DC heroine. It's a notable visual shift that hints at the tone director Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) might be aiming for. Alcock, best known for her breakout role as young Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon, steps into the lead role of Kara in what will be her first full-length appearance as Supergirl in the DC cinematic universe. The official synopsis adds intrigue, 'While celebrating her 21st birthday, Kara Zor-El travels across the galaxy with her dog Krypto, during which she meets the young Ruthye Marye Knoll and goes on a murderous quest for revenge.' That dark storyline, pulling from Tom King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comics, promises a narrative far removed from the hopeful, Earth-based versions fans may expect. The addition of Krypto the Superdog and young Ruthye also teases an intergalactic adventure with emotional stakes. Supergirl joins the growing list of DC films attempting to reinvent their iconic characters with a modern edge, following the critical retooling of The Batman and Joker franchises. With Alcock's rising star power and Gillespie's flair for edgy storytelling, this version of Supergirl could soar in unexpected, and thrilling, directions.

'Superman' is silly and heartfelt — and shows the new DC Universe can easily rival Marvel
Warning: Major spoilers ahead for "Superman." The new " Superman" features three cameos that may surprise fans —including one that sets up the next movie in the rebooted DC Universe. The film starts three years into Superman (David Corenswet) being a superhero in Metropolis, but references his origin story. Named Kal-El when his Kryptonian parents sent him in a spaceship to Earth, he is discovered by the Kansas farmers Jonathan (Pruitt Taylor Vance) and Martha Kent (Neva Howell). They name him Clark Kent, and he eventually becomes Superman. The first major cameo in "Superman" ties into this origin story. Bradley Cooper plays Jor-El, Superman's father Thankfully, the 2025 movie does not retread the familiar story of the planet Krypton being destroyed. But it does reveal that Superman rewatches a damaged recording of his parents in his Arctic base, called the Fortress of Solitude, to soothe him after stressful battles. In the footage, Oscar-nominee Bradley Cooper plays Jor-El, Superman's father, alongside the "Westworld" actor Angela Sarafyan as Lara Lor-Van, the hero's mother. The pair speak in their native Kryptonian language, but the translation says that they love their son and that he's meant to be the best of them. The billionaire villain, Lex Luthor, (Nicholas Hoult) repairs the recording and discovers that the second half of the message suggests that Superman's parents actually wanted their son to conquer Earth. Luthor uses this information to turn the public against Superman. John Cena reprises his role as Peacemaker The next cameo sees John Cena briefly return to play Christopher Smith, also known as the violent vigilante Peacemaker, on a TV talk show. During Cena's short appearance, he's discussing the controversy surrounding Superman and the Kryptonian recording while Kent is at home in his apartment with his girlfriend, Lois Lane. It's a fun cameo, as Peacemaker criticizes Superman with some childish insults. Cena's antihero will return in "Peacemaker" season two in August 2025. 'House of the Dragon' star Milly Alcock makes her debut as Supergirl The third and final cameo of the film sees Milly Alcock crash (literally) onto the screen as Kara Zor-El, also known as Superman's cousin, Supergirl. Yes, that's right, Kent isn't the only surviving Kryptonian in the galaxy. Supergirl has numerous origin stories in the comics, but the common thread is that she's sent to Earth to protect her younger cousin, only to find that he's grown up in the time it took her to get to Earth. In a short scene toward the end of the film, she crashes into the Fortress of Solitude while Superman is resting after his fight to save Metropolis from Luthor's pocket universe. She thanks him for looking after Krypto, which reveals to the audience that the destructive (but adorable) super dog actually belongs to her. When she leaves, Superman references her "partying" on planets with a red sun that disable her Kryptonian powers, enabling her to get drunk. This is all a setup for the next movie in the DC Universe, "Supergirl," which is based on Tom King's"Woman of Tomorrow" series. That sees Supergirl travel across the galaxy with Krypto on a quest for revenge. "Supergirl" will be released in June 2026.
