Supergirl is back in the headlines with a brand-new trailer and a new French release date. Craig Gillespie’s film, written by Ana Nogueira, will finally swing into theaters on July 1, 2026 instead of the June 24 date previously announced. Led by Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, this fresh DC Studios chapter signals a tougher, space-flaring adventure, centered on a heroine set on an intergalactic odyssey between vengeance and justice.

Theatrical release: July 1, 2026
Action, superhero | Runtime: not disclosed

This new outreach from Warner Bros. and DC Studios doesn’t so much refine the plot as confirm the film’s stance. Kara Zor-El faces an adversary described as as unpredictable as he is dangerous, while reluctantly teaming up with an unlikely partner. The trailer foregrounds this space opera dimension above all, and the portrayal of a Supergirl who’s less slick, more marked by exile and a desire to make amends.
The project sits at the heart of the DC universe relaunch led by Peter Safran and James Gunn. Craig Gillespie, already known for I, Tonya and Cruella, now directs Milly Alcock, breakout star to the public thanks to House of the Dragon. The ensemble also features Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham and Jason Momoa, while the film remains tied to Kryptonian mythology already embodied by Superman.
