Supergirl Defends The Galaxy In Action-Packed New Trailer; Kara Takes Flight On Chinese Magazine Cover

A 60-second teaser for Craig Gillepie's Supergirl aired on TBS last night, spotlighting some action-packed new footage from the next DCU movie...

Tickets for DC Studios' Supergirl are expected to go on sale later today, so there's a good chance we'll get a final trailer and/or a series of new posters.

In the meantime, TBS aired a new 60-second sneak peek at the next DCU movie last night. The teaser was leaked at the time, but has now been shared online in much better quality.

The promo shows the Woman of Tomorrow joining forces with the Sklarian Raiders to put a stop to Krem of the Yellow Hills and his bandits. We also see more of Lobo in action, and Superman giving his cousin her costume (though this footage did feature in a previously-released TV spot)

We also have a new Chinese TV spot introduced by director Craig Gillespie, along with a new international magazine cover.

During a recent interview with Variety, Alcock revealed that Kara won't wear her suit "as much as people will think. It’s a journey.”

“Through helping save this young girl and deal with her trauma of losing her entire family, there’s a kinship there,” Alcock says. “She realizes that being Supergirl has nothing to do with her and has to do with everybody else around her. She needs to put her own feelings aside to help others, and through that she can save herself. So that’s what the suit is for her.”

"When an unexpected and ruthless enemy threatens, Kara Zor-El is forced, against her will, to team up with an unlikely companion. Together, they embark on an epic cosmic journey where revenge and justice are at stake – and where Kara must confront her origins to find her own path as a hero. Alcock is joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham and Jason Momoa in key roles. Peter Safran and James Gunn are producing the film for DC Studios."

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow will also star Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Kara's parents, Zor-El and Alura, and Matthias Schoenaerts as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Our new Girl of Steel will take flight on June 26, 2026.

Said Gunn when the project was first annonced: “In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore, she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”

China absolutely loved the Aquaman movies for some reason so it's smart putting Momoa front and center. I think this is going to be a sleeper hit. But I don't have am agenda soooo

@bobevanz - China isn't relevant for Hollywood movies anymore. Abd Aquaman 2 didnt make that much money there..

@bobevanz - Sleeper hit or just a freaking SLEEPER! China rejected his Superman so why would they like a lesser kryptonian???😂 OhhJason Mamoa! You don't think china liked Aqua man cuz they just liked the freaking movie? It had little to do with the actor himself smfh🧐🧐

@bobevanz - Aquaman 1 was a good movie. Aquaman 2 was shit so it didn't do well there either.

Definitely taking the wife and kids to this. Met my wife on Halloween 25 years ago this year. She was dressed as Supergirl and I had a lazy Batman shirt on as a “costume”. Forever an anchor.

Now they say if it makes $300 Million thats a WIN!😂🤣 God the coping skills & goal post moving my Gunn Shills is AMAZING! Can't wait till this Slapstick, Goofy, Forced Comedy with weird Sexual innuendos & politics DCU is DONE! it will be forgotten & Gunn shills will disappear like they NEVER was there.😂🤣🤣😂😂😂 Bring back the Epic, Cinematic, Hans Zimmerman Themed Style Movies BACK! The reason The Batman & Penguin are doing great is cuz their pleasing the fans which is over 40 year old men. The moment you try to get 'casual fans'you get movies like The Marvels, Supergirl, She Hulk, Star Wars Acolyte etc...The DC fanbase left with Henry Cavil & Zack Snyder an Chris Nolan.🦾🦾They'll be back when Gunn is gone like his Creature Commandos😂😂

@ClarkJoeKent -

Oopsie. Creature Commandos Season Two has been confirmed.

ClarkJoeKent - 5/26/2026, 9:56 AM
@ElJefe - oopsie it couldn't surpass 500 views on YouTube 🤣🙈😂& it didn't even get any traction on HBO😂🤣 Just because Gunn is stuck on stupid dent mean I am. Peacemaker was CANCELLED Gunns Superman 2025 was YANKED from theaters early for UNDERPERFORMING & LOOSING over $40 Million Dollars before going to streaming & is currently rated 3.7 out of 5 on HBO when MoS is rated 4.3, even Superman 4 is rated higher by viewers on HBO than Gunns debacle. Oh & hes making a part 2 to that slapstick comedy of a hero. 😂🤣😂

ClarkJoeKent - 5/26/2026, 9:59 AM
@ElJefe - an by the way season 2 was confirmed BEFORE season one started airing. So that had NOTHING to do with success or ppl wanting to see that trash. Peacemaker had 2 seasons also.....😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈🙈

Good luck 🫡

@ClarkJoeKent - You didn’t hurt my feelings, but you’re insulting my intellect if that counts.

And you’re not wrong. I love his take so far!!! Apologies that you’re not. Maybe the next go around will be for you - but right now it’s for me.

Lucky me!

It's occurred to me that most of my friends have lost interest in CBMs. Even my best friend since the 8th grade who I bonded with over comics can hardly be bothered. Anyway, there's a chance I'll be seeing this solo, but I will see it, by god!

TheVisionary25 - 5/26/2026, 9:17 AM
@Clintthahamster - I feel the same with my brother and cousin group

Maybe it’s become they have become so regular that the specialness is gone but not sure.

Anyway , might check this out solo too.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 5/26/2026, 10:21 AM
@TheVisionary25 - I think you've hit the nail on the head with the lack of "specialness." That, and changes in post-COVID viewing habits.

Generally, though, I've been reckoning with the fact that the median age of my friend group is approaching 50, and most folks are just not as into "doing things" as they used to be. Meanwhile, I'm doing more outside the house than I ever have, and I've made all kinds of new young friends who haven't figured how uncool I actually am yet . . .
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/26/2026, 10:29 AM
@Clintthahamster - ahhh , that’s understandable then

Tastes & priorities change and life happens.

Honestly for my group , they don’t seem to be particularly interested in going to the theaters much.

I mean we had plans to see Mortal Kombat 2 and The Mandalorian & Grogu but both now they don’t have much in going to see.

@Clintthahamster - It's had its run. They flooded the market after seeing the money that could be made and diluted the product. Thats American capitalism. It cant help itself. The next big thing i believe is gonna be anime with all these young adults starting families that are gonna be going to the movies
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 5/26/2026, 9:54 PM
@krayzeman - You're not wrong. Honestly, I knew from the jump that we only had 10 or 15 years before my cohort aged out of the key demo and the zeitgeist moved on to the next thing. CBMs, Westerns, sword n sandal pics, WWII movies, they all had their time, and they'll come back around the next time the nostalgia cycle resets.

Honestly while the movie visually doesn’t seem as colorful or vibrant as the comic , I think it still looks pretty good on its own though…

Anyway , the action seems well done and Milly looks like she’s killing it as Kara so can’t wait to check the film out next month!!.

I wonder what the repercussions will be if this tanks.

Snyder was given 1.5 chances before WB Jumped in to chop shit up. Will MOT be the DCUs last film or will they stick it out until DCU's Justiceleague.🤔

@SenorTwats - If I were a shareholder first thing I'd question is the choice of IP

Dude has Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Batman and Aquaman at his disposal and decided that Supergirl was the best choice for the 2nd movie of a new DC universe

To me it'd be the same as like doing a Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Kid Flash or Superboy films, they are good supporting characters and should not be headlining their own movies, especially not before the big ones get their due
SenorTwats
SenorTwats - 5/26/2026, 1:10 PM
@Urubrodi - its truly mind boggling, maybe he believed in his own hype so much he thought he could give us a load of smaller characters first.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 5/26/2026, 9:57 AM

This movie won't make much if any money, but that doesn't matter.

If the 2nd Superman movie is a great giant hit, all of Gunn's huge missteps so far will be forgiven. If he ruins it with lots of meaningless crammed in characters and drowns it in juvenile humor, then Gunn will be gone.

I'm pulling for these movies to be epic blockbusters, but I don't really trust Gunn to get it done.

ClarkJoeKent - 5/26/2026, 10:00 AM
@DocSpock - his track records s the proof....If I was betting I wouldn't bet on Gunn.
