First Look At Milly Alcock’s Bold New Take On Supergirl
So, the first official teaser for Supergirl has finally been released, and it’s already causing waves across the fandom. This quick glimpse was dropped by DC Studios just ahead of the full trailer that’s scheduled to arrive on December 11, and honestly, it feels like the beginning of a whole new chapter for the DC Universe. Milly Alcock, who many people first noticed in House of the Dragon , steps into the role of Kara Zor-El, and the reaction so far shows just how much anticipation has been building around her casting.

The film is directed by Craig Gillespie, with a script written by Ana Nogueira, and it marks the second major feature from the James Gunn and Peter Safran era at DC Studios. Their vision seems to be coming into clearer focus now, especially with Alcock front and center. James Gunn himself has been incredibly vocal about her performance. In a September interview on The Howard Stern Show , he even said Alcock “might be the best bit of casting I’ve ever done,” which is a huge statement considering the breadth of his career. According to him, she’s “absolutely stunning in the movie,” and the teaser really hints at why he’s so enthusiastic.
Supergirl is slated for release on June 26, 2026, and the cast lineup looks strong. Alongside Alcock, the movie features Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Jason Momoa playing Lobo—a role James Gunn has also praised him for embracing so fully.
The story is based on Tom King’s 2022 comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow , beautifully illustrated by Bilquis Evely. Nogueira adapted that storyline for the big screen, and if the film follows the comic’s emotional core, we can expect a journey that’s deeply personal and surprisingly raw. In the original story, Supergirl travels through the galaxy with a young alien girl named Ruthye, who is seeking justice after her father is murdered by Krem. Their pursuit isn’t just a revenge mission—it’s about growth, grief, and the kind of brutal moral decisions that force Kara to confront who she really wants to be.
The teaser offers only a hint of this tone, but those quick shots say a lot. There’s a sense of intensity, of isolation, and of a Supergirl who isn’t defined by Earth’s expectations. It feels like her story is being told with the same seriousness and stylistic flair that James Gunn and Peter Safran promised when they took over DC Studios.
With the full trailer coming soon and the film less than a year and a half away, the excitement is already sky-high. If this teaser is any indication, Supergirl may end up being one of the defining films of this new DC era.
