DC Studios has finally released the first trailer for James Gunn’s new *Supergirl*, and it’s already reshaping the perception of the beloved heroine. Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El, far from perfect and, to put it mildly, very different from her famous cousin — Superman. Her key line in the trailer, “He sees the good in everyone. I see the truth,” immediately sets the tone for the entire film.
Forget the bright, spotless costumes of previous adaptations: the new Kara is cynical, with inner demons and emotional scars that make her a true anti-hero. Director Craig Gillespie emphasizes her internal struggle and “punk” imperfection, making the character extremely alive and contemporary. In the trailer, Milly navigates the chaos of alien worlds, passing through dirty and dangerous colonies, evoking the style of Gunn’s *Guardians of the Galaxy* — fun, brutal, and with a touch of humor.
But Milly isn’t alone on this perilous path. Jason Momoa appears as the anti-hero Lobo — a true charismatic monster capable of challenging even Supergirl. Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem adds tension and unpredictability, promising serious confrontations and epic battles.
James Gunn has actively supported Alcock’s casting from the start, calling her the “punk” version of a superhero. According to him, female leads rarely get the freedom to be imperfect, and here that imperfection is the key to her strength and uniqueness.
Based on Tom King’s graphic novel *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*, the film promises to be more than just another superhero blockbuster; it’s a story of internal struggle, personal demons, and difficult choices. The release is scheduled for June 26, 2026 — and it’s already clear that this film will leave neither DC fans nor anti-hero enthusiasts indifferent.
Milly Alcock’s Supergirl is a new heroine: tougher, more cynical, and authentic, one you’ll definitely want to meet. And while her path is dark, it promises to be thrilling, dangerous, and incredibly spectacular.
