While most of the world waits for Marvel to drop Avengers: Doomsday in December, my most anticipated superhero film of 2026, Supergirl<\/a>, debuts in theaters on June 26! Supergirl, based on one of my favorite comic book stories of the past decade, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, stars Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, Jason Momoa, and Matthias Schoenaerts in a super-powered story about displacement, revenge, and redemption. Recently, DC Studios held a test screening of the upcoming film from director Craig Gillespie, with reactions revealing details about Momoa\u2019s Lobo, Kara Zor-El\u2019s interplanetary adventure, and how the movie compares to James Gunn\u2019s Superman (you can also catch the new Krypto-heavy Puppy Bowl trailer above).<\/p>\n

How does Supergirl compare to Superman?<\/p>\n

According to @AxelTalksFilm<\/a>, the cinematography is \u201can upgrade compared to Superman\u2019s,\u201d and there\u2019s an action-packed hallway scene that\u2019s said to stand tall alongside those seen in Daredevil and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.<\/p>\n

Like the film\u2019s source material, the story has a darker tone than last year\u2019s Superman, focusing on human trafficking in a world overcome by violence. Still, audience members said that Supergirl presents a \u201cperfect balance\u201d or \u201chumor, darkness, and lightness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Krem of the Yellow Hills a fun villain?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, crowds appear divided about the film\u2019s villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills. Some emerged from the movie saying Krem is \u201cextremely menacing and a tremendous villain,\u201d while others said he\u2019s \u201clame\u201d and \u201cunderwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much of Momoa\u2019s Lobo do we get?<\/p>\n

As for Jason Momoa\u2019s Lobo<\/a>, fans can expect his part in the film to be \u201csubstantial\u201d and \u201ccrucial to the ending.\u201d Fun Fact: Lobo does not appear in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Tom King cut Lobo from the final draft, but Gunn and company picked him up off the cutting room floor and added him back to the story.<\/p>\n

Regarding Supergirl versus Superman, an insider attending the screening said, \u201cIt\u2019s basically bits of Superman 2025, [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3], Logan, Man of Steel and The Last of Us mashed into one film without the R-rated elements. Whoever\u2019s seen it would probably understand my film choices. Krypto is Rocket, Kara is Joel\/Logan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krypto heads to Puppy Bowl XXII<\/p>\n

In addition to details about Supergirl from the recent screening, Krypto fans should know that Superman\u2019s super-pup is a part of today\u2019s Super Bowl pre-game Puppy Bowl XXII<\/a> festivities! While some think Krypto could have an advantage over other pups, let\u2019s not forget that this is the real world, and that Krypto helps raise awareness for doggie adoption! He\u2019s a good boy.<\/p>\n
