DC Studios has released the debut Supergirl movie trailer, which has big Guardians of the Galaxy vibes and offers a very brief look at Jason Momoa’s Lobo.
The trailer kicks off with a hungover Supergirl, played by House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock, waking up in a messy apartment as Krypto the Superdog — last seen causing havoc in Superman — urinates on a copy of The Daily Planet. Given Krypto is urinating directly on a picture of a heroic-looking Superman on the Planet’s front page, we can infer that Supergirl is a very different movie from the outset, and Supergirl herself is nothing like her cousin.
Next, a rickety spaceship lands on some alien planet to pick Supergirl up. We see Kara Zor-El celebrating her 23rd birthday by getting drunk in some alien bar. There’s a flashback to the destruction of Krypton, which Kara witnessed first hand. Eve Ridley’s Ruthye Marye Knoll — Supergirl’s sidekick — asks what it was like.
Kara ends up on another alien planet, this one packed with goons who seem desperate to kill her. Supergirl fights her way out of trouble alongside Ruthye Marye Knoll. There are shots of more spaceships, a very sad Kara stroking an unusually downbeat Krypto, and a blink and you’ll miss it look at Jason Momoa’s Lobo, cigar lighting up his face in a single shot. There’s very little to go on here, but from what we can see Momoa — who played Aquaman in the Zack Snyder’s DCEU — is perfectly cast as Lobo. We then see Supergirl suit up for more overpowered action, flying into the sky and beating up scores of bad guys.
And that’s that. Check out IGN’s article, Supergirl: Who’s Who in the New DC Movie Trailer, to find out more.
IGN attended a press conference in which DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, Milly Alcock, and director Craig Gillespie talked enthusiastically about Supergirl, due out June 26, 2026. During the conference, Gunn insisted Supergirl was a completely different move than Superman, before Gillespie confirmed it takes place entirely in space.
