DC Studios (via ComicBook.com) has released the first full clip from Supergirl, and it spotlights Kara Zor-El's (Milly Alcock) first meeting with Superman (David Corenswet).

The sneak peek begins with Kal-El greeting his younger cousin just after she arrives on Earth in her escape pod with Krypto. Supes can't understand a word Kara says since he hasn't learned Kryptonian, and Krypto nips at his finger when he goes to help her out of the ship.

As the heroes approach the Fortress of Solitude, Kara wonders aloud why Clark is "in his underwear," and the clip ends with Superman telling the future Girl of Steel that her powers should kick in "right about... now."

Tickets for Supergirl went on sale this week, and the next DCU movie looks set to take in a respectable $55 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. This would be quite a bit lower than Superman's $125 million ($220 million worldwide) debut, but that's to be expected.

Early screenings for the movie actually took place last night, but critics are still embargoed from sharing their reactions on social media for another couple of weeks.

Check out the clip in the player below, and let us know what you think.

"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.”

One thing Gunn got perfectly with Superman is the way he's written as a character; this right here is Superman.

@TheJok3r - I prefer Henry Cavill as Superman but David C does a good job in the role. I’m not a fan of Gunn’s Superman but this clip was decent.

@UceOmega - My biggest issue with Cavil is that he had 0 personality; he was just kind of there in the background. It always felt like he was trying to play a Superman who was inspired by Batman, rather than the actual Superman we know and love.

@UceOmega - Cavill had the right but but no personality

@HashTagSwagg - other than just being a hater, what’s so “worse”? I see one inconsistency but overall a fun clip. Of course fun is subjective, but what’s so worse?

@epc1122 - The dude spent his whole life on earth, his powers are meant to have developed over time but of course, no paitence with these film makers so they gotta rush it so now he somehow knows exactly when how powers are going to kick it.
Why the f**k would his pants be weird to her? she isn't from earth, Kripton shouldn't have the fashion sense as us. All for a dumb throwaway joke.
They already ready know each other ahead of time so they've just blown past showing us Clark's realization that he isn't alone and Kara's realization that she compltetly missed out on raising Clark. They rushing everything without taking the time to make us actually give a shit.

@HashTagSwagg - You'd think Superman probably knows how long it takes himself to absorb sunlight and get his powers back.

It literally happened on-screen once already.

I'm sorry....I'm just going to say it...That Kara space suit looks stupid.

@BlackStar25 - yeah , it’s not great

I guess they were going for an homage to the 70’s Reeve Krypton but just seems cheap.

@TheVisionary25 - Honestly...regular Krypton Garb would have been solid

@BlackStar25 - I guess so…

It does feel very old school and vintage.

Pre-sales not doing aswell as they hoped...

Release the Domestic man clips!!!


Jokes aside, this is a good clip. David is a natural and yes he's a better actor than Henry.

We need to get this guy away from Gunns direction 😭😭.

Also I do like the snyder influence when the powers kick in and you hear the trains and sirens all at once similar to when Zod and Faora lost their helmets.

And thank God theres no fisheye clown foot lense!

Nice clip , good interaction between Kara & Clark…

Man , Corenswet is just so charming as Superman!!.

Good clip. I do wish to see a more seasoned Superman though. I have to keep remembering that this Superman is pretty young into his career. Brain still programed to look for Superman from Superman: The Animated Series

I dig this clip a lot. A lot of it is due to Corenswet. He’s such a damn good Superman

Pretty cool. I like how Kara and Clark meet and how her powers kick in after a minute. Just like in the original action comics when Supergirl arrives on earth. Her powers emerge at the very start of meeting Superman.

Great clip. My wife asked me about this last night. She was like, 'I thought Superman was the LAST of his kind' so I'm glad to see this movie is gonna clear this up for non-fans.
