SUPERGIRL Trailer Drops With Heart, Humor, and One Seriously Awesome DC Adventure
A new trailer for Supergirl has landed, and it gives us a much better sense of the emotional core and cosmic chaos that DC Studios is bringing to the big screen this summer.
This isn’t just another superhero story packed with action, it’s shaping up to be something a little more personal, a little more reflective, but don’t worry, it’s still packed with some badass moments.
Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film sees Milly Alcock stepping fully into the spotlight as Kara Zor-El after teasing fans with her appearance at the end of Superman (2025), directed by James Gunn. This time, it’s her story, and it looks like it’s going to be a wild adventure.
The trailer leans heavily on the 1967 track “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted” by Jimmy Ruffin, and it hits perfectly for this trailer. The lyrics echo through Kara’s journey:
“What becomes of the brokenhearted who had love that’s now departed? I know I’ve got to find some kind of peace of mind. Help me.”
That emotional thread ties directly into the story. Kara isn’t just dealing with the destruction of Krypton, she’s also pulled into a mission alongside Ruthye Marye Knoll, played by Eve Ridley.
Ruthye is on a path for revenge after the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, murdered her parents. And just to make things worse, he also shoots Kara’s loyal companion, Krypto. This gets personal fast.
The story draws inspiration from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, and it looks like the film is keeping that same emotional backbone. Kara agrees to help Ruthye track down Krem, partly to help her new friend, and partly because she’s got her own reasons to settle the score.
But this isn’t just a revenge story. The trailer hints that both Kara and Ruthye are going to wrestle with loss, grief, and what it actually means to move forward. There’s a strong sense that this journey is just as much about healing as it is about throwing punches across the galaxy.
There’s a quick but fun appearance from Superman, played by David Corenswet, which adds a bit of connective tissue to the growing DCU.
But one of the biggest surprises here is Jason Momoa showing up as Lobo. He wasn’t part of the original comic story, but based on this trailer, he’s looks like a major wildcard in the mix, bringing a chaotic energy that could shake things up in a big way.
The tone is an interesting blend. You’ve got this soulful, almost haunting music layered over moments of humor, massive action beats, and character-driven scenes. It shouldn’t work as well as it does, but it all clicks.
At its core, Supergirl looks like a story about finding connection after loss. Friendship, found family, and maybe smashing a few bad guys along the way all seem to be part of the healing process.
And honestly, it looks like a blast!
The film also stars David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham, and it’s set to hit theaters and IMAX on June 26. We’re all in for this one. What did you think of the trailer?
