It’s almost time for the second DCU movie, as Supergirl lands in theaters on June 26. And now, via Deadline, we’ve learned that tickets are finally on sale for the upcoming Craig Gillespie film, which features House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin. The initial announcement came from DCU co-head James Gunn, which also came with an awesome new trailer. In our opinion, it’s the best Supergirl trailer so far. And yes, it showcases a lot more action than before, and new alien landscapes. Plus a fair dose of Jason Momoa as Lobo, and, of course, Krypto the Superdog. You can watch the new trailer down below:
Supergirl is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s 2021 DC Comics series, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Like that graphic novel, it deals with Kara Zor-El leaving Earth to venture to a world under a red sun, which takes away her powers. Thus, allowing her to get drunk on her 21st birthday. While off-world, she finds herself embroiled in a quest for revenge. A young girl enlists her help when a marauding villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills, murders her father. Unlike the comic book, however, the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo has a role in the adventure.
The new trailer features a cameo from David Corenswet’s Superman, in a flashback to when Kara first landed on Earth (with Krypto) at age 15. We see Superman giving Kara her first superhero costume, letting her know that the bright colors are so everyone knows that they are the good guys. This feels like a very Clark Kent sentiment. But as Kara says in this trailer, she and her cousin are very different kinds of heroes. We’ll find out just how different when Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26. You can buy advance tickets now by heading over to Fandango.
