DC Studios has released a Lobo-centric promo for Supergirl, and it spotlights quite a bit of new footage of Jason Momoa's Main Man in action.

The teaser confirms that Lobo and the Woman of Tomorrow (Milly Alcock) will join forces in the movie (likely to hunt down their common enemies, the Brigands), and we also hear the Last Czarnian's nickname for Kara (he says Ditz... DITZ!).

While speaking to The Playlist, director Craig Gillespie commented on the possibility of returning to helm a sequel.

"Obviously, I’d love to work with Milly again. I loved creating this character with her. We’ll see what happens.” 

Supergirl opening weekend box office estimates have now risen to around $77 million,  but it obviously remains to be seen if the next DCU movie is enough of a success to warrant a follow-up.

Gillespie also praised the freedom DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn gave him when he signed on to direct the project.

"I said, how much do you want this movie to be in your universe? And honestly, surprisingly, he’s like, ‘Not at all. This is [like] approaching each of these movies like their own graphic novel. A graphic novel is so distinctive to that writer, that illustrator. This is your graphic novel.’”

Chwck out the promo below, along with a new IMAX teaser.

"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.”

There aren't enough emojis on the internet to express how awesome a George Miller Lobo movie would be.

@Huttsbane -

Gunn and Safran NEED to lock David Leitch in as a director for ANYTHING in the DCU

I need a full on Lobo film.

The dynamic between Momoa’s Lobo and Milly’s Kara seems fun imo so looking forward to that in the film…

Also is it me or is Jason putting on a voice/affectation for The Main Man?.

Less Lobo, more Ruthye who is starting to feel like an afterthought in this film despite being the other character with an arc in the movie.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/16/2026, 7:49 PM
@NinnesMBC - I agree there…

However Ruthye is just not as flashy of a character as Kara and Lobo who will sell the movie more then a little girl.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 6/16/2026, 7:58 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Then we're in serious trouble if that was how they sorted out their priorities. D: If the miniseries worked perfectly with just Kara and Ruthye on a roadtrip across the galaxy without Lobo and it earned the project accolades, why change things for the adaptation? We better not hear in the reviews stuff like "Ruthey was underutilized and Lobo overstayed his welcome" cause if we do, damn.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/16/2026, 8:02 PM
@NinnesMBC - that’s just how marketing is…

I’m not saying that will be how it is in the movie itself but we’ll see.

I honestly don’t expect Lobo to be in the film much.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 6/16/2026, 8:34 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Bad or average marketing can affect a movie. We know this since 2023 when no one could talk about their upcoming projects due to the writer's strike. Or look no further to what the He-Man film has been going through.

That would be for the best.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/16/2026, 8:35 PM
@NinnesMBC - yep

We’ll see how it goes but I do hope Ruthye is indeed a co-lead as she was in the comic.

RolandD - 6/16/2026, 10:36 PM
@NinnesMBC - I think that her story will be told just fine in the movie but it might not be what puts butts in seats. If her story is told well, then WOM about might keep people coming. I don’t expect this to turn into a blockbuster, but hopefully it does well enough and then any more is gravy.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 6/17/2026, 1:18 AM
@TheVisionary25 - Yeah she has to be. They have to be faithful about that, otherwise it won't be in the same spirit as the source material.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 6/17/2026, 1:26 AM
@RolandD - Her story and growth throughout the film alongside Kara's should be the big sell, just how it was in the comics when no one knew who even this new original character was. Coming off from a winning award miniseries is IMO hype enough before they included Lobo. Yeah chances of it becoming a super box office hit is hard since Toy Story 5 is not pulling it's punches but I doubt it'll get crushed.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/17/2026, 6:00 AM
@NinnesMBC - it coming off an award winning miniseries might be enough hype for comic fans but not general audiences who wouldn’t care about that…

Plus , I’m not sure if character growth helps sell a movie initially but once you see it then yes it can connect.

I love that James Gunn has been true to his word about letting each director do their thing. Swear to god I have seen more of Craig guillespe in the last few days than ever, definitely a step in the right direction

@Gambito - Agreed. DC is in good hands wether people like it or not.

"This is [like] approaching each of these movies like their own graphic novel. A graphic novel is so distinctive to that writer, that illustrator. This is your graphic novel.’”

So why can't Matt Reeves The Batman be his graphic novel in the DCU?
PS118
PS118 - 6/16/2026, 11:53 PM
@ObserverIO -

I really think it’s clear that safran and Gunn would absolutely merge Pattinson and the Batman into the DCU if reeves would let them and wouldn’t write things that contradict the rest of the universe. I think it’s reeves who, like Nolan, doesn’t want to be integrated to a greater universe.

You have to be kidding me...this movie is tracking for a $20 Million Dollar opening weekend...& Gunn is gonna double down on the waste?😂 His future is up in the air at DC & I have time. Everything hes done at DC has failed..before getting triggered & respond look up the numbers. EVERY DC content that hes created or overseen has flopped from Shazam tp Flash , Blue Beetle, Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, Superman & Supergirl is next.😂😂

@ClarkJoeKent - Creature Commandos is highly regarded and it was awesome.
Superman was a solid success, especially post-covid.
After the last trailer, I think Supergirl looks better than Superman.

god you b1tch too much. It's like it's that time of the month for you every day.
You must spend a fortune in maxipads.

ClarkJoeKent - 6/16/2026, 10:07 PM
@lazlodaytona - Creature Commandos had 200 views on YouTube(Google it etc) was regarded as a failure due to low viewship. Gunns Superman 2025 made $612 Million after being YANKED for underperforming in theaters said Ted Saranos UNDER OATH.Loosing $40 Million Dollars reported by Forbes Magazine. Man Of Steel made $685 Million selling TWICE as many tickets adjusting for inflation it makes $890 MILLION today which is a BLOCKBUSTER. The Batman made $780 MILLION "POST COVID" so whats the excuse for Gunns Diaper-Man? Nobody is talking about Supergirl & it'll debut at #3 its Opening weekend😂😂😂 So before responding google what I said then respond. Gunns DC for Dummies was made for you! Bright Colors & simple chatgpt script & all.

@lazlodaytona - He’s 100% nothing but a troll. He brings nothing worthy of discussion and just repeat the same old crap all the time. At least I think so because I’ve taken her not bothering to read his screaming rants lately.

@ClarkJoeKent - getting all of your info from the Internet. Geez, there's no way you could be inaccurate...

@lazlodaytona - thats funny cuz you're literally on the internet getting comic book film info from a similar site😂😂😂😂😂Gunmns DC for Dummies was made for you! Diaper-Man & All!!😂😂😂😂😂

lazlodaytona - 6/17/2026, 7:36 AM
@ClarkJoeKent - oh, and nothing you stated negates the fact that you act like a little b1tch dumped right before the 8th grade formal then spends the night eating chocolate ice cream covered in old candy birthday letters thinking about going back to the dance and pulling a Carrie.
(Get the reasoning? You know, Carrie had her first period... Like you do every day).

lazlodaytona - 6/17/2026, 7:38 AM
@RolandD - oh, I know. It's still fun calling them a little b1tch tho 😄

lazlodaytona - 6/17/2026, 7:42 AM
@ClarkJoeKent - who said I'm getting info from this site?
I just like reading it and reminding the trolls that they're a little b1tch since their uncreative online complaining is just sad and humorous 🤡

None of this Lobo footage has done anything for me...

@BlackStar25 - I know. I like better foreplay too.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/16/2026, 9:44 PM
@BlackStar25 - interesting…

Is it because it’s just Momoa being himself even though that’s just Lobo pretty much?.
BlackStar25
BlackStar25 - 6/16/2026, 11:49 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Not too familiar with Lobo outside of the animated stuff but Momoa's Lobo feels very...tamed. Just not resonating with me. On top of that...so far...his scenes have been "eh?" to me.

hue66 - 6/17/2026, 4:18 AM
@BlackStar25 - He's laughing and giggling a lot which is not the Lobo I've been reading and collecting. Lobo from the comics is written as a serious person but what he says and does is funny. At least in the books I bought.
