Supergirl is out subsequent summer time and we lastly have our first official trailer. It’s nonetheless only a “teaser,” so heaps in regards to the upcoming DC film remains to be unknown, nevertheless it nonetheless units the stage for what to anticipate from the subsequent chapter in James Gunn’s new comic book universe. It additionally features a nice quote that deftly sums up the distinction between Kara and Clark.
“He sees the goodness in everyone, I see the truth,” Supergirl says when requested what distinguishes her from the Man of Steel. It places the right interval on a teaser for what feels, on the floor, like DC’s tackle Guardians of the Galaxy however is definitely taking part in with some very completely different concepts. Out in theaters on June 26, 2026, the film will begin with Supergirl off-planet celebrating her twenty third birthday with Krypto. However she finally takes a break from consuming her trauma away to assist a mysterious girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll on her quest for revenge.
The occasions of the film are based mostly on the restricted collection Supergirl: Lady of Tomorrow from a couple of years again by author Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely. Largely praised on the time, it dives into Supergirl’s previous and particulars an origin story wherein Kara and her household initially survive Krypton’s destruction in Argo Metropolis due to a particular protect, just for remnants of the planetary collapse to finally result in the gradual loss of life of the remaining inhabitants attributable to radiation poisoning.
It contrasts with the backstory of Superman, who misplaced his authentic household however by no means immediately skilled the cataclysmic occasion that took them. It was a single occasion moderately than a gradual loss of life. Regardless of the exact model of occasions for Supergirl within the movie, the trailer is clearly establishing the the reason why Kara’s a nihilistic drunk not like her endlessly hopeful and idealistic cousin.
Sure that’s a split-second take a look at Jason Momoa as Lobo
We don’t get a lot else within the preliminary teaser, although we do catch a glimpse of Krem of the Yellow Hills, the particular person Ruthye Marye Knoll is looking for revenge, and Lobo, although the latter’s face is simply seen for a couple of frames. Jason Momoa definitely seems to be the half however we’ll see if he can play DC’s chaotic alien biker unhealthy boy with the appropriate steadiness of loud machismo and unhinged charisma or if he’ll simply be Aquaman once more.
Visually, the film seems to be sort of bland. Look, the trailer is simply two minutes, however there’s quite a lot of vaguely sci-fi junkyard ruins and grey-brown house rocks right here. The sorts of motifs that helped give Guardians of the Galaxy a way of clear id don’t appear to be right here, at the least not at first look. We’ll see if that id comes by extra in future trailers. Hopefully, the story that director Craig Gillespie and script author Ana Nogueira are telling right here can ship one thing that feels contemporary and compelling both approach.
