Milly Alcock‘s Kara Zor-El is ready to tear through worlds to save her superpup, Krypto. DC Studios has released a new trailer for Supergirl, ahead of the film’s summer release.

“I was just touching base to see when you think you might be coming back. You know, I’m just worried that you’re not gonna find your stride here if you keep going off-world all the time, Kara. I’m worried you’re not gonna find your people,” David Corenswet’s Clark Kent, aka Superman, says to Kara in the trailer. She tells him, “Yeah, well, that’s the thing, Clark. I have no people.” No people but her dog, to whom she says: “Home is wherever you are, buddy.”

However, Krypto is then poisoned by villain Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), and Kara is told her best friend has only three days to live. Kara must hunt down Krem for the antidote, leading her on a space-jetting mission against time.

Also seen in the trailer is another look at Jason Momoa‘s Lobo. He and Kara seem to team up in some action-packed sequences.

“This is really an anti-hero story. She’s got a lot of demons, a lot of baggage coming into this, which is very different from where Superman is in his life,” director Craig Gillespie stated at a previous trailer launch event. DC Studios co-head James Gunn added: “So many times female superheroes are so perfect. She’s not that at all … Like male superheroes have been allowed to be for a while.” The script has been penned by Ana Nogueira.

Supergirl is one of two movies on DC Studios’ release slate this year. There’s also Clayface, a horror-tinged film that arrives on October 23rd. The studio will also unveil Lanternsits HBO Max series, in summer.

Watch the Supergirl trailer below, ahead of its release in cinemas on June 26th.
