Overview
- The film, which opens June 26, 2026, stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El and is directed by Craig Gillespie with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.
- Nogueira told reporters she started the DCU Supergirl script from scratch and that nothing from her earlier DCEU draft carried over, though her prior work helped her understand the character.
- The writer said the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow served as the project’s guiding influence but that many comic sequences were cut to fit a feature runtime.
- James Gunn responded to fan questions about Supergirl’s pierced ears by citing in-universe explanations from Superman continuity, including exposure to a red sun and being raised away from Earth.
- The movie introduces Jason Momoa as Lobo and features a supporting cast that includes Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley, and its performance will be watched as an early test of Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU relaunch.
