SUPERGIRL Test Screening Report Reveals How Many Scenes David Corenswet Has As Superman

The latest Supergirl test screening report has revealed the extent of Superman's role in the story, along with new Lobo and Krem of the Yellow Hills details and potential spoilers.

A second Supergirl test screening reportedly took place last week, and more details about the second DC Studios movie have been revealed today. 

The entire plot of Superman leaked online last year, and we can likely expect the same for the Woman of Tomorrow's solo outing. Marvel Studios, meanwhile, will surely look to keep the plots of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday a closely guarded secret after all three of its 2025 offerings were spoiled in advance. 

According to YouTuber AxelTalksFilm, Milly Alcock is "an absolute star" in Supergirl and delivers a "charming" performance as Kara Zor-El. Her dynamic with Eve Ridley's Ruthye is said to be a highlight, as is Jason Momoa's Lobo.

The Main Man reportedly has a "substantial" role in Supergirl and is "crucial to the ending of the story." As for the movie's main villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills, it sounds like he's the biggest misstep.

Described as "underwhelming" despite being "extremely menacing and brutal,"  his role in the story is relatively minor. He's also the leader of the space pirates in Supergirl, suggesting some major liberties have been taken with Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic book.

It's no secret that David Corenswet will reprise his role as Superman in the DCU blockbuster, and this test screening leak claims to reveal the extent of his role in the story. It is just a cameo, but he'll have at least three scenes and is reportedly "very important to Kara's character development...he's not there just to be there." 

Seth Rogen's voice cameo is hailed as "the funniest thing in the entirety of the movie," but are there any negatives? It seems there are several unresolved plot threads by the time the movie ends, but that and Krem are the only major complaints right now.

Supergirl has the potential to be great, though there is some disappointment surrounding the decision to make it look more like James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy than Evely's artwork. We'll see whether there's time to add a splash of colour. 

Supergirl, DC Studios' newest feature film to hit the big screen, arrives in theaters worldwide next summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, and stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Alcock stars alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.

The film is executive produced by Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars P. Winther. Behind the camera, Gillespie is joined by director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, Visual Effects Supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Ramin Djawadi.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.

The villain isn't the focus of this story. He's an added piece, maybe read the graphic novel next time. Superman is the second best movie behind Superman II. Better than 3,4,MoS, and the rest of that.


This movie will be a pleasant surprise. Cue the trolls

@bobevanz - Superman was solid imo

Had its flaws but enough positives aswell imo so would give it like a 3.5 out of 5.

I definitely liked it better then Returns , MOS , 3 & 4 but not as much as the original Donner film (not sure about 2 though).

@bobevanz - how many times have you rewatched Gunn's Superman?
ObserverIO

@bobevanz - These were my thoughts too. I've not seen the movie but I've heard a lot of people say he's the weakest part of the film.

I can only think that maybe they've tried to make him more of the melodramatic villain role, reasoning that unlike a graphic novel a movie needs a villain. In a sizeable role. At which point I can see him being lacklustre.

Maybe they ought to take a look at that. It could be as easy a fix as reducing his role to simply being the quarry like he is in the graphic novel.

Not hyped for this at all. I was, but after seeing the trailer I lost most of my interest in it. Will of course be seeing it opening weekend, but going in with zero expectations. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

@EscapeMySight - Having zero expectations will hopefully increase your odds of being pleasantly surprised.
With me, I find that the more often I have expectations (beyond what the trailers show me), the more often I'm disappointed.
I hope you are pleasantly surprised.

@LSHF - Right you are. Although, its nice having expectations and still being blown away. Infinity War, Endgame, No Way Home - I couldn't have asked for more with those movies. I expected all to be incredible, and they were, but went above and beyond when I hoped for.

Krem being “underwhelming” & such isn’t too major of a deal to me since he isn’t a big part of the original comic story but mainly an excuse for Kara and Ruthye to go on the journeys that they do literally and figuratively…

Anyway, if true then I’m happy to see David’s Superman again so relatively soon after his own film since I like his performance and version of the character!!.

Still go check this in theatres, but I don't think I'll be opening weekender. This sounds like it will just be an average comic movie outing. not great, not bad. I expect this will make around what F4 and Thunderbolts did, given that it's a bit more of a niche character with the general public.

Aaaaand I'm out. I don't care if its just a cameo, I refuse to financially support anything that loser is in. It was very disappointing to hear he was producing the new Muppet show too.

Really was hyped to see a movie version of this comic run. After everything I’ve seen and what official information we have, I’m putting aside the expectation that this will scratch that itch, and trying not to be disappointed that this means I will probably never see a proper adaptation. However, as someone who LOVES a tank girl type movie (I’m a Xenial, what can I say?) I’m still pretty psyched to see this. I’m thinking it won’t be a classic, or a cult classic, but probably a fun time for someone like me.

@LenSpiderman - Is a Xenial a Gen-Xer?
LenSpiderman
LenSpiderman - 2/12/2026, 10:06 AM
@ObserverIO - I hate to admit this because the concept of generations has really taken a wild course the last few decades, but Xenials are what nowadays they call people who were born in the gray area at the end of gen z and the beginning of gen y (which later was retconned as millennials). I grew up under the impression that I was gen x, until the internet and apple products took over the world in the late nineties. At which point we were renamed gen y or the I-generation. Then when millennials started getting blamed for everything they claimed gen y didn’t exist and they were actually the millennials. Then someone decided that people like me should be a whole new thing. Xenials. Sorry. It’s dumb. But in our current parlance, it’s what am.
LenSpiderman
LenSpiderman - 2/12/2026, 10:09 AM
@LenSpiderman - correction: I was autocorrected to “the end of gen z”. It is the end of gen x and the beginning of gen y.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 2/12/2026, 5:05 PM
@LenSpiderman - That does kinda make sense yeah. I always thought that millenials were born around the millenium (so '90's or early '00s) but then someone said that people who were born in the '80s were somehow millenials. At least there's a name for that grey area because if the '90s is your culture well that was very very Gen X.

I don't see any hype for Supergirl. Whose big idea was it to even make this film? It is so sad to see that years after that fraud, James Gunn announced his vision for "Gods and Monsters" DC is once again puttering around after a series of failed projects from Gunn. He has done NOTHING to improve the quality DC films. And DC fans are left again out in the cold with no realization of a competently made and entertaining DC film universe outside of Matt Reeves films and TV show. No one has the stomach for another reboot, nor is anyone interested in continuing with the flailing Gunn-verse. So either way DC fans are screwed.

@Forthas - @Forthas - agreed that stomaching another reboot would be a hard pill to swallow, but speak for yourself with a lot of the other stuff. Superman was not as spectacular as it could have been, I’ll give you that, I’d even go as far as saying MOS was a better film in some aspects. But that the entire DCU has somehow failed when it’s barely just begun is false. I’m still eager to see Lanterns, and I think Clayface could surprise. I’m frustrated that we haven’t gotten more action on the DCU Batman, since imo Pattinsons Batman is lame as hell. Nolan’s take was “grounded” yet had an awesome Batmobile and eventually even Batjet of some sort. Pattinson is driving around in a slightly modified muscle car. He had to be saved by Catwoman while fighting Riddler. There’s ZERO chance he could take on parademons or any meta/super/enhanced villains.

We need a DCU version of Batman who uses suspension of disbelief, who leans into the comics, who is fantastical in his abilities to the point that a mere mortal can hang with the likes of the JL which are comprised of god like beings.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, those are just mine. Gunn hasn’t succeeded yet, but he hasn’t completely failed either.
Forthas
Forthas - 2/11/2026, 3:19 PM
@MuadDib - I mean at what point can we call Gunn a failure then? Lets look at the record...The Suicide Squad bombed (and yes!...Even by the standards that were established by other films during the COVID lockdowns). Peacemaker did not launch to a huge audience and was renewed because there was some indication that it was growing its audience only to find out that in season 2 it lost like a third of them. Creature Commandos was a non-event. I am at least glad you acknowledge that Superman was disappointing so we don't have to relitigate the ridiculous shill arguments again.

I agree with your points about Pattinson and that his take being too grounded. I have never been shy about saying that Bale is my Batman and should still be Batman. He does not have to have super powers to fight super powered beings. For example, Black Widow of Avengers fame was a very capable member of the team yet there was no need to make her stronger or faster than a normal human.

I am also interested in Lanterns, (Clayface not so much), but think about what you just stated, the fact that you are looking forward to the two most "grounded" upcoming DC products is antithetical to what James Gunn's approach has been throughout his entire career. He is not the person you turn to for grounded dramatic content. So in a sense, you should be wanting a change from Gunn as much as I do.

@Forthas - I'm not fond of the movie, but it's pretty ignorant to say that the movie bombed when everyone knew it would bomb at BO for giving it a simultaneous release on HBO Max during COVID when no one wanted to go theaters anyway, especially for a sequel to a critically panned movie from a critically panned Shared Universe.

Stop pretending like there's no consequences for the $#!7 that came before.

Cautiously optimistic, not super hyped. Not feeling the casting for Kara, open to being wrong, but only time will tell. Def interested to see Lobo, although I feel we’re like 5-10 years late w/ Momoa even if he was born to play the role. I too would like to see a more colorful space adventure, as opposed to a dark drab take.

I’ll go watch this in theaters when it premieres because I’m trying to support the DCU and I need it to survive long enough so we can get a DCU Batman in the year 2145, once Reeves is done with his siloed off emo-Bat trilogy.
