Warner Bros. and DC Studios have officially dropped the long-awaited teaser trailer for Supergirl, the next chapter in James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe. Serving as a follow-up to this year’s Superman, the film marks a bold tonal shift—leaning into intergalactic chaos, emotional grit, and a surprising sense of cosmic fun. Directed by Craig Gillespie, best known for I, Tonya and Cruella, Supergirl is set to hit theaters worldwide on June 26, 2026.
The teaser offers only a glimpse of the plot, but enough to send fans buzzing. Kara Zor-El, portrayed by House of the Dragon breakout Milly Alcock, finds herself shattered when an unexpected and ruthless enemy threatens the last of what she holds dear. Though she longs for solitude, she is forced to team up with an unlikely companion as she embarks on a cross-galaxy mission for vengeance and justice. The trailer sets up a thrilling and emotionally charged story, punctuated by dramatic space vistas and a distinctively rebellious tone.
According to official details, Supergirl begins with Kara celebrating her 21st birthday by traveling through the galaxy with her loyal dog, Krypto. Her journey leads her to cross paths with young Ruthye Marye Knoll, but a tragic moment launches Kara onto what is described as a “murderous quest for revenge.” The teaser leans heavily into this darker arc, showcasing Alcock’s raw intensity while still teasing touches of James Gunn–style humor and irreverence.
The cast adds even more excitement, featuring Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa—who appears in full cosmic biker form as Lobo. Fans have already begun drawing comparisons to the wild, colorful aesthetics of Guardians of the Galaxy, signaling a refreshing departure from traditional Superman-centric storytelling. The film looks poised to deliver a high-energy mix of space opera, character-driven emotion, and edge-of-your-seat action.
With a screenplay by Ana Nogueira and production led by Peter Safran and James Gunn, Supergirl draws its inspiration from the DC character created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, with influences from Tom King’s acclaimed comic run. As the DCU continues to expand toward Superman: Man of Tomorrow arriving in 2027, this film appears to be a major stepping stone in establishing a new, more daring era.
From the trailer alone, Supergirl promises interstellar spectacle, emotionally heavy stakes, and a fierce new take on Kara Zor-El. If the finished film delivers on this energy, DC may have a breakout cosmic adventure on its hands next summer.
