Get ready for a thrilling ride with the upcoming Supergirl: A Space Fantasy Adventure! This highly anticipated film, directed by the visionary Craig Gillespie, is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, and it's already creating quite a buzz.
While the trailer has left us with a mysterious glimpse, the team behind Supergirl is full of praise, especially for the talented Milly Alcock, who takes on the dual role of Supergirl and Kara Zor-El. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, who has been at the forefront of this project, emphasizes that "Supergirl is very much [director] Craig Gillespie's vision." And here's where it gets interesting - Gunn confirms that the film is inspired by the Tom King books but doesn't adhere to them "religiously."
"It's a space fantasy with a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe," Gunn explains. "The core elements from King's work are there, but the film takes its own unique path."
And this is the part most people miss: the creative team behind Supergirl, including Gillespie and screenwriter Ana Nogueira, deserve credit for their contributions. Despite comparisons to Guardians, Supergirl stands on its own merits, offering a fresh take on the superhero genre.
The story follows Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, who embarks on an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice after a ruthless enemy strikes close to home. Joining her on this epic adventure is an unlikely companion, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, alongside an impressive cast including Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.
Supergirl is produced by DC Studios heads Peter Safran and James Gunn, based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film's creative team includes director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, and composer Ramin Djawadi, among others.
