As the DC Universe continues to grow, James Gunn explains that projects like Supergirl and Lanterns are “part of the overall tapestry, but they’re also their own thing.”<\/p>\n

Article Summary
\nJames Gunn describes Supergirl as a space adventure, comparing its vibe to Guardians of the Galaxy.
\nSupergirl is part of the larger DC Universe but maintains a unique tone and identity within the franchise.
\nCraig Gillespie directs with Milly Alcock as Supergirl, alongside Jason Momoa and Matthias Schoenaerts.
\nSupergirl premieres June 26, 2026, bringing a darker take on Kara Zor-El’s origin and heroism. <\/p>\n

With the second season of\u00a0Peacemaker\u00a0wrapping up this month, we have some idea of what the new era of DC is going to look like. There are a lot of projects in varying levels of development, both in film and on television, and some will be here sooner than we think. One project that people have been anxiously awaiting is Supergirl. Between the 1984 movie and the CW series, Supergirl never really went anywhere. We have a general idea of what this new movie is going to look like based on the source material, but so far, all we’ve seen is the brief tease at the end of\u00a0Superman and a poster.\u00a0James Gunn and other cast and crew members for\u00a0Supergirl have continued to tease the project as 2025 comes to an end.\u00a0Recently, Gunn spoke to\u00a0Rolling Stone,<\/a>\u00a0and when asked how the plot points of\u00a0Peacemaker\u00a0would impact\u00a0Supergirl\u00a0and\u00a0Lanterns specifically, Gunn replied, “Both those things are worked in.\u00a0We knew both of those stories were a part of what we originally put together, so they’re part of the overall tapestry, but they’re also their own thing.”<\/p>\n

“Supergirl, especially, is a space adventure. It’s like Guardians,” Gunn continued, and that’s interesting. You have to wonder how much of that is simply “space adventure” and how much is the tone and overall vibes of Guardians making the jump to the DC universe? We’ll have to see; Gunn isn’t the director of Supergirl, but his influence will be felt in all DC projects going forward.<\/p>\n

\nSupergirl\u00a0Flies Into Theaters Next Year<\/p>\n

Supergirl\u00a0has put together an impressive cast and crew.\u00a0They first brought on writer\u00a0Ana Nogueira,\u00a0who\u00a0was announced in November 2023. After months of speculation and posts starting to rival the best of them, we finally got word that Milly Alcock\u00a0would be playing Supergirl at the end of January 2024. In April 2024, we learned<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0Craig Gillespie would be the director, and some of the supporting cast started filling out, with\u00a0Matthias Schoenaerts joining the cast as Krem of the Yellow Hills. In January 2025, Jason Momoa joined the cast<\/a> as Lobo. David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham\u00a0were cast as Kara’s parents in mid-January 2025.<\/p>\n

Gunn explained at the time of the initial Supergirl announcement<\/a>, “In our series, we see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore; she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”\u00a0Much like\u00a0Superman,\u00a0which transitioned from Superman: Legacy to simply Superman,\u00a0Supergirl: Woman of\u00a0Tomorrow was shortened to just\u00a0Supergirl\u00a0in June 2025.\u00a0Supergirl will be released on\u00a0June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
