We recxently got confirmation that DC Studios' Supergirl will have a presence at next week's CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, which is scheduled to run from December 4–7.
While it remains to be seen if the first trailer will debut (there's been some chatter on social media, and the movie's Twitter and Instagram accounts are now live), the event will showcase a Supergirl interactive booth, and we now have some details on what fans can expect to see.
The booth will feature an intergalactic bar with a Krypto Challenge, an otherworldly popcorn machine, a Kryptonian speed/strength challenge, and a prize claw machine.
If you've read Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow comic, you'll know that the Girl of Steel and her companion, Ruthye, take a little break from their revenge mission and travel to a space-bar for a drink. Here, Kara is confronted by an alien who blames her for her cousin Superman imprisoning his brothers in the Phantom Zone. As you might expect, the altercation doesn't work out so well for the instigator.
Supergirl wrapped principal photography back in May, but as is generally the case with any major studio comic book movie, reshoots were scheduled shortly after. According to a recent report from Daniel Richtman, cameras are rolling again for what will amount to two weeks of additional photography, and he believes this will mainly be to include scenes with David Corenswet's Superman.
This could explain why the Superman costume that was on display at the Warner Bros. Studio Tours exhibit was removed and replaced with a note reading, "Superman costume currently being used by production." There was speculation that it might have something to do with Man of Tomorrow, but James Gunn's next DCU movie is still only in the very early stages of development.
According to a recent report from THR, "Supergirl had a quiet screening on the Burbank lot with a select group of executives and a few members of James Gunn's trusted DC stable."
The trade didn't reveal any details, but a couple of reliable scoopers have claimed to have heard great things about the movie, and we wouldn't be surprised if some first reactions begin to filter through over the next couple of weeks.
In a recent interview, writer Ana Nogueira spoke about what attracted her to this "rougher and grittier and edgier and funnier" take on the character.
"She watched Krypton completely be destroyed. I was always like, 'I can’t get my head around the version of the character that is so sunny.'"
Milly Alcock will reprise her role as Kara Zor-El after making her DCU debut in the closing moments of Superman.
Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow will also star 3 Body Problem's Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle and Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills. Jason Momoa is also set to debut as Lobo.
The latest casting additions were David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Kara's parents, Zor-El and Alura.
Warner Bros. announced that our new Girl of Steel will take flight on June 26, 2026.
This take on Kara Zor-El a said to be a "less earnest and more edgy version of the iconic superheroine" as Gunn looks to move away from "previous depictions of the Girl of Steel, particularly the long-running CBS/CW series fronted by Melissa Benoist."
According to a brief synopsis, this story will follow Kara as she "travels across the galaxy to celebrate her 21st birthday with Krypto the Superdog. Along the way, she meets a young woman named Ruthye and winds up on a murderous quest for revenge."
Gunn and Peter Safran announced the Supergirl reboot during their studio press day in January of last year, when the "Gods and Monsters" DCU slate was revealed. The project will be at least partially based on King’s acclaimed comic book series of the same name from 2022.
Said Gunn at the time, “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.”
