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 , 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 . 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” , 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, as Kara isn’t just dealing with the destruction of Krypton; she’s also pulled into a mission alongside Ruthye Marye Knoll, played .
Ruthye is on a path for revenge after the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, played , murdered her parents. To make matters worse, he also shoots Kara’s loyal companion, Krypto. This turns personal quickly.
The story draws inspiration from *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* and Bilquis Evely, and the film appears to maintain that same emotional backbone. Kara agrees to help Ruthye track down Krem, partly to assist her new friend and partly because she has her own reasons to settle the score.
However, this isn’t just a revenge story. The trailer hints that both Kara and Ruthye will grapple with loss, grief, and what it actually means to move forward. There’s a strong sense that their journey is just as much about healing as it is about throwing punches across the galaxy.
In a quick but fun appearance, Superman, played , adds a bit of connective tissue to the growing DCU. One of the biggest surprises, though, is Jason Momoa showing up as Lobo. While he wasn’t part of the original comic story, he seems poised to be a major wildcard, introducing a chaotic energy that could shake things up significantly.
The tone is an interesting blend, with 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 taking down 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. Fans are eagerly anticipating this one. What did you think of the trailer?
