James Gunn offers a glimpse at 'Supergirl' in a snarky new poster for the upcoming movie
Anyone who saw James Gunn's 'Superman' — and judging by the box-office results, that's a lot of people — has already seen 'House of the Dragon' and 'Sirens' star Milly Alcock as Supergirl, who makes a brief appearance at the end of the movie to give her cousin Superman a hard time and to reunite with super-dog Krypto. Now Gunn has revealed on X another look at Alcock's Supergirl in the first poster for the upcoming 'Supergirl' movie from director Craig Gillespie, which opens in theaters June 26, 2026. Projecting the same kind of chaotic energy she captured in her brief onscreen appearance, Supergirl stands in front of what looks like a wall with a banner of the shared Superman/Supergirl logo, the slogan 'Look up' graffitied over to instead read 'Look out.' She's wearing a trench coat and sipping a slushie-style beverage, and in general looking a lot cooler than her endearingly dorky cousin, even without her entire face visible in the picture. That fits with the tone of the DC comic book series that serves as the source material for 'Supergirl,' 2021's 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,' written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely. I read 'Woman of Tomorrow' before the movie was announced and was immediately surprised that Gunn would pick such an unconventional story to reintroduce the character to movie audiences. It's an epic space-faring saga that's closer to Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movies than the grounded human storytelling of 'Superman,' and it should go a long way toward distinguishing the character from her more famous male counterpart. King, who's also a writer and producer on DC Studios' upcoming HBO Max series 'Lanterns,' presents a Supergirl who is weary of her superheroic activities and embarks on an intergalactic bender, only to be drawn into a mission of revenge for a young alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll, while also attempting to heal a critically injured Krypto. The movie will feature Eve Ridley as Ruthye, with Matthias Schoenaerts as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills and Jason Momoa in a small role as DC anti-hero Lobo.

After the strong start for Gunn's new DCU with 'Superman,' a lot is riding on 'Supergirl' to keep up the momentum. It's hard to say much from a poster, but given the self-conscious edginess of the source material and the in-your-face style of the image, it seems likely that 'Supergirl' will take a very different approach. They will always be pretenders to the throne... ;) The poster recalls the teaser for 'Shazam,' which also featured the character in a cool, casual pose, aiming to exude youthful energy. Veteran comic book writer Fabian Nicieza also pointed out in a post on Bluesky the similarities to the marketing for his 1990s Marvel Comics series 'New Warriors.' There's a long history of comic book companies trying to make their characters stylish and cool, and we'll have to see if it works out this time.

James Gunn On Jason Momoa Playing Lobo In DCU's ‘Supergirl' Film: 'I've Loved Watching Jason Bring Him To Life'
Jason Momoa is bringing the DC Comics character Lobo to life in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and DC Studios' co-head James Gunn is teasing his performance. In a new post, Gunn shared a message he received from Momoa when he was confirmed to lead DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. More from Deadline James Gunn Says Daniel Radcliffe 'Clayface' Casting Rumors Are "100% False" Warner Bros DC & Mattel Ink Multi-Year Consumer Products Deal 'Lanterns' First Look Photo: Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre Star In DC Studios Series For HBO 'On the anniversary of Lobo, I can't help but think of a text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning it was announced Peter & I were the heads of DC Studios — the day Jason & I first discussed him joining the DCU as Lobo,' Gunn posted on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. Gunn continued, 'I've loved watching Jason bring him to life & can't wait to share that with all of you.' In the text exchange, Momoa says, 'fucking LOBO,' to which Gunn replies, 'Dude I've said you should be Lobo for years, no lie.' Deadline reported in December 2024 that Momoa had been tapped to play the antihero. Lobo, who has a violent and irreverent personality, hails from the planet Czarnia. He possesses superhuman strength, regenerative abilities, and an invulnerability that makes him a formidable opponent. Created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen, the character is often depicted as a bounty hunter who enjoys chaos and destruction. When Momoa was confirmed as Lobo, he took to Instagram to share his excitement, captioning his post, 'They called.' The actor also shared a screenshot of a past interview where he expressed his interest in playing Lobo, saying, 'I collect comics, and I don't do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role.' If they call and ask me to play him, it's a f*ck yeah.' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow cast Milly Alcock in the title role, with Matthias Schoenaerts playing villain Krem of the Yellow Hills and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll. Craig Gillespie is set to direct the DC film from a script by Ana Nogueira, based on Tom King's 2022 comic book series.
