The new Supergirl trailer swooped online yesterday, and we now have some new promo posters and artwork for the upcoming DC Studios movie.

Despite largely spotlighting the Woman of Tomorrow, we also have clearer shots of Lobo and the movie's main villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills. The former looks like he's stepped straight off the page, but the latter has undergone a drastic redesign. 

Usually, Matthias Schoenaerts looks a lot like Krem, so it will be interesting to eventually hear from Supergirl's creative team on why the decision was made to bring him more in line with one of Guardians of the Galaxy's Ravagers, for example.

Regardless, all signs point to Milly Alcock stealing the show as the movie's title character. Talking to Vanity Fair, the House of the Dragon alum said that, while contending with her expanding role in the DCU, she decided against reaching out to former Supergirl actors, Melissa Benoist and Sasha Calle.

"They’re just people living their lives," she said. "It’s not like we have this blood bond." 

That's a surprisingly blunt answer, but Benoist's time as the Maid of Might ended back in 2021. A chat with Calle, meanwhile, may have been pretty awkward; after all, The Flash star had been lined up to star in a Supergirl movie of her own before DC Studios was formed (pulling the plug on the project).

Benoist, however, had a slightly different take when she was asked about her successor last summer. "Yeah, of course I'll support! Once you've donned the glyph, you're part of a very small club of people that has worn capes. So it always feels special when any iteration of the story and the canon comes to life, so I will be there to support."

Calle has also expressed support for Alcock, stating, "Have so much fun. You look so badass, I love that. Just f***ing kill it." 

Check out this newly released Supergirl promo art in the X posts below. 

Supergirl, DC Studios' newest feature film to hit the big screen, arrives in theaters worldwide next summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, and stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Alcock stars alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.

The film is executive produced by Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars P. Winther. Behind the camera, Gillespie is joined by director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, Visual Effects Supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Ramin Djawadi Junkie XL Claudia Sarne.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.
