SUPERGIRL Featurette Reveals New Footage of Milly Alcock’s Woman of Tomorrow in Action
The hype around Supergirl continues to grow and following the recent trailer drop, DC Studios has rolled out a behind-the-scenes featurette that gives fans another peek at what’s coming, along with a few new shots of Milly Alcock suited up and soaring as Kara Zor-El.
The featurette mixes familiar trailer moments with new glimpses of Alcock filming across different locations, offering a better sense of the scale and tone director Craig Gillespie is aiming for.
There’s also input from some key players shaping this next chapter of the DCU, including Alcock herself, Jason Momoa, and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn. It all paints a picture of a story that leans into both cosmic spectacle and something more personal for Kara.
This version of Supergirl isn’t just flying around saving the day. The story throws Kara into a brutal situation where she’s forced into an uneasy alliance while facing a dangerous enemy. It’s a journey built on revenge, justice, and identity, pushing her to confront where she came from and figure out who she wants to be.
Alcock has already been getting a lot of attention since her casting was announced, and she recently addressed that experience in an interview with Vanity Fair. Speaking about the reaction, she said:
“It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on,” she replied. “We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”
She also weighed in on the ongoing conversation around superhero films, especially comments from filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott:
“I get it. They’ve been around for [frick]ing ever making phenomenal films,” she said. “Not every film is for everyone. The beauty of art is that you can be selective.”
That grounded perspective seems to line up with what this movie is trying to do. While it still delivers the big, cosmic DC energy fans expect, there’s a clear effort to center Kara as a character dealing with real emotional weight.
The cast backing Alcock is stacked with talent, including Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, and Emily Beecham, with Momoa stepping into the role of Lobo. With Peter Safran and Gunn producing, the film is positioned as a major piece of the evolving DC Universe.
Supergirl is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, and if this latest featurette is any indication, Kara’s solo debut is shaping up to be something pretty cool!
