DC Studios has unveiled the first teaser for its highly anticipated Supergirl movie, offering fans an early look at Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El aka Superman’s cousin and one of DC Comics’ most enduring heroes.
The footage, released ahead of the full trailer, sets the stage for a bold new chapter in the DC Universe’s cinematic reboot.
Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) and scripted by Ana Nogueira, Supergirl adapts the acclaimed comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.
Here, we’ve got everything you need to know about the upcoming feature, which is sure to break the box office.
Who plays Supergirl in 2025?
Australian actor Milly Alcock is stepping into the coveted cape, making her first starring role in the DC Universe following her cameo as Supergirl in Superman earlier this year.
Unlike past portrayals that leaned toward traditional heroism, this Supergirl promises a tonal shift: part interstellar quest, part character study. The trailer juxtaposes high-octane action sequences and cosmic visuals with intimations of Kara’s inner turmoil after surviving Krypton’s destruction — highlighting how her worldview diverges from her more idealistic cousin, Superman.
“I thought, ‘What have I done?’,” the House of the Dragon star told Forbes of winning the part. “I really struggled to believe I could do it. I even called the director (James Gunn) saying, ‘I don’t know how to be that person. I’m just me.’”
Ultimately, Milly accepted the news, telling Elle Australia that she “invited all my friends over to the house, and we drank champagne” to celebrate the achievement. Telling the publication of her audition process, Milly said, “For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl [in the screen test]. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it’s just fear! That’s what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear.”
Is there a trailer?
Yes. The teaser trailer showcases Milly in full Supergirl regalia alongside a range of co-stars, including Jason Momoa as the galactic bounty hunter Lobo, Matthias Schoenaerts as antagonist Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as young alien Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham in parental roles, and even Superdog Krypto adding levity and heart to the adventure.
