DC Studios unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming Supergirl this Super Bowl Sunday, featuring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s Kryptonian cousin. The character appeared briefly in Superman.
In the new trailer, Kara meets her dog Krypto for the first time, as footage of her living on Krypton ahead of its destruction is shown. Per the synopsis, when an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Supergirl reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.
“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. Added DC Studios co-head James Gunn: “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 cast also includes Jason Momoa as the character Lobo, and Matthias Schoenaerts as the antagonist Krem of the Yellow Hills. Ana Nogueira penned the script.
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 Lanterns, its HBO Max series in summer.
Watch the Supergirl trailer below, ahead of its release in cinemas on June 26th.
