by

The official trailer for Supergirl is here, offering fans a first look at Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El and director Craig Gillespie’s take on the character within the new DC Universe.

The trailer goes officially live at 11:59am EST. Watch the trailer below.

James Gunn on Supergirl

James Gunn has consistently highlighted that this new Supergirl is a significant departure from previous interpretations. He explained that while Superman had a nurturing upbringing on Earth from birth, Kara spent her early childhood – the first fourteen years of her life – on a crumbling piece of Krypton, witnessing hardship and violence before reaching Earth. This starkly different background fundamentally defines her character. Gunn says she’s much tougher and more intense than the Supergirl most people are familiar with.

Gunn described the Supergirl movie as a fast-paced and energetic film, contrasting it with the more polished Superman stories. He explained that this version of Kara Zor-El is a complex character, still dealing with difficult past experiences that Superman didn’t have to face. The movie fully embraces her struggles while offering a grand, space-based adventure, staying true to the comic book source material. Gunn is confident the film will offer a fresh perspective on the superhero genre and is eager for audiences to see it.

What is Supergirl about?

When a dangerous new enemy attacks those she cares about, Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) teams up with a surprising ally for a massive, galaxy-spanning quest for revenge and to bring justice.

The movie stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Jason Momoa as Lobo.
