As Superman learns over the course of the events of the movie, his parents had sent him to Earth not to protect humanity, but to rule over it \u2014 a revelation that sends Kal-El spiraling for a time.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Some Superman fans were so shocked by this twist on the characters&#8217; motivations that they have speculated that DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn plans to either retcon this plot point, or eventually show the message upon which it is based to be fake or misleading. Gunn has denied this.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Supergirl, however, promises to continue the House of El subplot when it launches June 26, 2026. It will see Milly Alcock\u2019s Kara Zor-El, fresh from her drunken cameo at the end of Superman, celebrate her 21st birthday by traveling across the galaxy with her dog, Krypto. We know Lobo is in the movie, played by Jason Momoa. But we know little else.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">David Krumholtz (Bernard in The Santa Clause franchise), plays Zor-El, Supergirl&#8217;s father, and in a recent interview with Nerdtropolis he was of course asked if he could say anything about the movie. Responding, Krumholtz kept his cards close to his chest, but teased a couple of things: Supergirl will closely follow the Woman of Tomorrow comic book, and it will act as the \u201cnext piece of telling the story of Krypton, and sort of further clarifying what the House of El is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIt\u2019s very true to the graphic novel that it\u2019s based on, Woman of Tomorrow,\u201d Krumholtz said. \u201cVery true, which is great. Plus Lobo, which I can say. Everybody knows that Jason Momoa is playing Lobo in it. So it\u2019s that comic plus Lobo. What else can I say? I can\u2019t say much, man.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cI\u2019ll just say that I\u2019m thrilled to be sort of the next piece of telling the story of Krypton, and sort of further clarifying what the House of El is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Supergirl Cast and Characters: Who&#8217;s Confirmed for the DCU Movie?<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Supergirl, previously known as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, is set to soar into theaters on June 26, 2026, and reintroduce us to Milly (House of the Dragon) Alcock\u2019s Kara Zor-El after she made quite a first impression in Superman.\u00a0&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;Supergirl is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely\u2019s 2021-2022 comic book series, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and will be a \u201cspace fantasy\u201d that will have a different tone than Superman.

Supergirl the movie is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely&#8217;s comic, which features a very different Supergirl than audiences are perhaps accustomed to. In July, Gunn said the DC Universe version of Supergirl is \u201ca total mess.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As revealed in Superman, Supergirl got drunk on a planet bathed in the light of a red sun (it\u2019s impossible for Superman or any Kryptonian to get drunk on Earth due to the empowering effects of our yellow sun). But beyond this, clearly Supergirl is suffering from mental health issues that are driving her to drink, the result of a very different upbringing compared to her cousin\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cI mean, I think as we learn, she&#8217;s had a completely different background from Superman,\u201d Gunn continued. \u201cA much more difficult background. He&#8217;s had this wonderful upbringing by these two parents that loved him and were very healthy. And her background was much different than that. And she&#8217;s ended up different than her cousin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIn our story, we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents,\u201d Gunn has explained. \u201cKara was on Krypton. 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\u2019s a much harsher and more f*cked up Supergirl than you\u2019ve been used to thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Recently, Gunn has called Supergirl a \u201cspace fantasy\u201d \u2014 and said <u>it will have a different tone than Superman<\/u>. It\u2019s more like Gunn\u2019s own Guardians of the Galaxy, he\u2019s said. For more, check out IGN\u2019s article, <u>Superman Introduces the Girl of Steel: Here&#8217;s Why This Version of Supergirl Is So Different<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But we should also talk about Krumholtz\u2019s comments about the House of El. Perhaps we\u2019ll get further insight into why Superman\u2019s parents did what they did, or maybe even some revelations about the fate of Krypton itself. Will David Corenswet reprise his role as Superman for a cameo in Supergirl? Certainly a battle with Lobo sounds like a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Supergirl isn\u2019t the only DCU movie out next year. Fans also have Clayface to look forward to, as well as HBO Max TV show Lanterns. Then, moving into 2027, we have Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
