Supergirl is a 2026 superhero film from Warner Bros. and DC Studios, the latest chapter in the rebooted DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the filmmaker behind I, Tonya and Cruella, and written by Ana Nogueira, it adapts Tom King and Bilquis Evely's acclaimed 2021 comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, trading sunny optimism for a harder-edged, interstellar revenge saga.
Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El, a battle-worn Kryptonian who spent far more of her early life on a dying world than her cousin Superman did, leaving her cynical and haunted. When a vengeful young alien named Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) enlists her help to hunt down the killer Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), Kara embarks on a bloody, galaxy-spanning quest that tests what kind of hero she wants to be. Alcock first appeared briefly as the character in a cameo at the close of Gunn's Superman before headlining her own film.
Released theatrically in June 2026, the film underperformed at the box office, grossing roughly $126 million worldwide against high expectations for an early DCU cornerstone. Reviews were mixed, but Alcock's steely, charismatic performance drew consistent praise, and the film found a far larger and more enthusiastic audience once it arrived on streaming. It is now available on HBO Max.
