Overview
- The film, which opened in German cinemas on June 25, 2026, has earned broadly positive reviews that single out Milly Alcock’s layered performance as its emotional center.
- Supergirl reframes Kara Zor‑El as a damaged, morally ambiguous anti‑heroine who teams with a vengeful girl named Ruthye to track the villain Krem and save her dog Krypto.
- Reviewers highlight the movie’s mature themes of trauma, grief and mental health and its space‑western, road‑movie tone rather than conventional blockbuster spectacle.
- Reporters note strong supporting turns and production choices, including Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, a brief but memorable Jason Momoa cameo as Lobo, and extensive use of real sets and animatronics for a tactile look.
- Coverage records pre‑release misogynistic backlash on social platforms over a female lead, and places the film within DC Studios’ post‑2025 reboot strategy, where its reception could shape the studio’s push for grittier, woman‑led entries and raise Alcock’s profile.
