Holy cosmic chaos, you guys, the first official Supergirl trailer just dropped and it’s absolutely packed with action, attitude, and one very grounded Kryptonian. Milly Alcock, fresh off House of the Dragon, takes flight as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, in a movie that’s shaping up to be one of DC Studios’ biggest swings yet.
The new trailer gives us a full first look at Kara in her element, not just flying around in a shiny suit, but confronting her past, her purpose, and yes, a whole galaxy of trouble. If you thought Superman had it rough, wait till you see life through Supergirl’s glasses.
Who Is This Supergirl Anyway?
Okay so quick backstory for anyone not up to speed: Supergirl is Superman’s cousin. But unlike Clark Kent, she didn’t get a sweet small town upbringing. In the trailer she’s rough around the edges, sarcastic, rebellious, and honestly a little tired of everyone’s expectations. She’s a hero with a little too much baggage, and that’s exactly the vibe the movie is leaning into.
The film adapts the acclaimed comic arc Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, where Kara isn’t just punching bad guys all day. She’s on a cosmic quest, dealing with trauma, loss, and what it actually means to be a hero when the chips are down.
Supergirl Trailer Highlights
So what actually happens in the new trailer? Buckle up:
- Krypto the Superdog makes his adorable but chaotic return. Yep, he’s back to his old antics.
- Kara starts off in a pretty relatable place: hungover and chillin’ with Krypto because life is messy. She even makes a toast about being 23, and it lands with surprising emotional depth.
- We get glimpses of intergalactic locations, alien bars, and some serious space action that Channel Guardians of the Galaxy vibes.
- And yes, Jason Momoa shows up as Lobo, rival bounty hunter slash absolute menace.
All of this paints Supergirl as an anti-hero with attitude, emotional scars, and more than enough star power to carry her own franchise. The costume, the swagger, the sheer universe-spanning chaos… it all hints at a movie that’s ready to redefine what a DC hero story can be.
More Than Just Punching Bad Guys
What makes this trailer stand out is how smart it feels. You get nonstop visuals and energy, sure, but you also get character. Kara doesn’t just fly, she feels. You see her grapple with what she’s lost, where she came from, and why she even bothers being a hero in the first place. That’s rare in superhero trailers, and honestly it’s kinda thrilling.
Save The Date
Mark your calendars because Supergirl is flying into theaters on June 26, 2026. That gives DC a big summer spotlight and gives fans plenty of time to speculate, theorize, and rewatch the trailer over and over (guilty).
This trailer isn’t just a tease, it’s a statement. Supergirl isn’t here to play second banana to Superman. She’s here to shake things up, crack jokes, kick butt, and maybe cry into a space whiskey once or twice. Honestly, we’re here for all of it.
