Supergirl Stills See Milly Alcock Suit Up As The DCU's Woman Of Tomorrow

A new look at June's Supergirl movie has been released, and the spotlight is placed squarely on Milly Alcock's Woman of Tomorrow as she suits up ready to take the fight to Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Supergirl swoops into theaters next month, and excitement is definitely on the rise for the next chapter in DC Studios' "Superman Saga."

While we're expecting one final trailer for the movie to arrive somewhere around the time tickets go on sale, a couple of new stills have just been revealed in Entertainment Weekly and USA Today's respective summer previews.

The first shot shows Milly Alcock suited up as the DCU's Maid of Might. The second takes place on a space bus, which is reportedly part of an action scene with Kara Zor-El regaining her powers after being exposed to a yellow sun (remember, she travels to planets with a red sun to get drunk).

"She’s like an unapologetic mess," the House of the Dragon alum previously said of how Supergirl differs from Superman. "She doesn’t want to be a hero, and I really admire that about her. I think Clark puts on a mask in his everyday life, and Kara won’t submit to that. I find that really admirable."

James Gunn, meanwhile, has said Supergirl's story is "bittersweet." He added, "I think that’s one of the things that attracted me to the graphic novel. It’s a Supergirl who is so different from Superman and who is haunted. The luxury that Superman has is he was raised by really wonderful parents who loved him from the time he was an infant, so his background is so different."

"To be able to see somebody else who is good-hearted, as Kara is, but her background is extremely different from his—to see the contrast between those two is one of the things that interested me in making this movie," the DC Studios co-CEO added.

While Supergirl has made some big changes to the comic book it's based on, there's no reason to believe this won't be a fun, memorable adventure for the character. It also promises to better explore Krypton's destruction and should lead into next summer's Man of Tomorrow.

As for the costume, the basic design is very much in line with what Superman wore in his movie. That makes sense, of course, but it might be good for a future story to embrace some of Kara's more unique suits from the comics just to keep things fresh.

Check out this new look at Supergirl in the X posts below. We've also included the latest banner for the movie.

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 Junkie XL Claudia Sarne.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.

If her suit didnt have those weird patches / lines it would actually be perfect. It fits her so well and the gold on belt and the boots look good.

@OneMoreTime - factual, yet I'm sure that will prove to probably be an understatement.

i want this to be good. i want it to make money. i want Milly to get alot of praise for her role... i just don't see all that happening. its too muted, too edgy and too much like GoTG Vol2. will gladly eat crow if im wrong.

The characterization of Supergirl has changed to various degrees in the comics & other mediums given the story the creatives wanted to tell such as the CW version being very similar to Clark/Superman…

I know everyone has their preferences but I think having a Kara in the DCU that’s akin to the Woman of Tomorrow iteration in which they really focus on her trauma & attitude as a way to not only make her feel like her own character but contrast with Superman aswell sounds good to me so can’t wait to see her in action , especially given that Milly seems so good in the role.

Anyway i like the pictures , the colors really pop in them imo…

The movie seems good so looking forward to checking it out!!.

Will Poulter stars as Supergirl. Yeah, this will do really well. I'll wait for it to come out on VHS.
