Not your average girl of steel. 

Kara Zor-El isn't Clark Kent. While Superman was raised on Earth by loving parents, his cousin was stuck on a dying chunk of Krypton, forced to watch everyone she cared about perish. Now, House of the Dragon breakout Milly Alcock steps into the boots of a much more jaded, hardened hero in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, landing at Everyman on 26 June 2026.

Directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya), the second official entry in James Gunn's new DC Universe is a sharp departure from traditional comic book movies. Adapted from Tom King's heavily praised graphic novel, the film strips away the clean-cut superhero tropes for an interstellar revenge thriller. When a young girl named Ruthye (Eve Ridley) begs Kara to help avenge her father's death, the two set off across the galaxy to hunt down Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), a ruthless leader of space pirates.

This isn't just about saving the day; it's a character-driven road trip through the cosmos. Kara’s journey takes her far away from the familiar blue skies of Metropolis, forcing her to confront her own buried trauma in the darkest corners of the universe. The supporting cast is packed with talent, featuring Jason Momoa stepping into the DCU as the chaotic intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo, alongside an appearance from David Corenswet as Superman.

With a tone that leans closer to a gritty western set in deep space, it promises to be one of the most visually distinct blockbusters of the summer. Prepare for an adventure that completely redefines what it means to carry the iconic crest of the House of El.

Producer James Gunn has described this version of Supergirl as a "pixie-ish, but very attitudinal character," stepping away from the traditional boy-scout image of her cousin to make her a deeply flawed, reluctant antihero.Free text
