Overview
- Milly Alcock said that her Supergirl cape was remade using material from Christopher Reeve’s original Superman cape and that roughly 16 meters of that fabric were found and used in the back of her cape.
- Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie, opens in theaters and IMAX on June 26, has a roughly 107–108 minute runtime and carries an MPA PG-13 rating.
- The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor‑El with Jason Momoa, Eve Ridley and Matthias Schoenaerts in supporting roles and adapts Tom King’s 2022 Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.
- Industry reporting places production near $175 million, which sets a high break-even threshold that makes opening-weekend and international box-office results especially consequential for Warner Bros.
- Alcock’s public discussion of the cape adds to a rollout that has included heavy marketing and has highlighted the actress’s encounters with toxic fandom, a factor studios are watching as they promote new franchise stars.
