"She's only on screen for a few seconds, but Supergirl's appearance in James Gunn's Superman (2025) leaves a lasting impression because she is, or should be, responsible for Krypto the dog, a true scene-stealer in the film based on the DC comic. Kara Zor-El, Supergirl's real name, is the hero's cousin, and her introduction hinted at the direction things were headed: a rebellious and boisterous teenager, a very appealing archetype for the production company's target audience."
"To the tune of Blondie's Call Me, we see Krypto the dog urinate on a newspaper article about Superman and Kara wake up with a hangover before the trailer launches into a barrage of action and special effects. At the helm of this blockbuster is Milly Alcock, the teenage Rhaenyra Targaryen from House of the Dragon. This time, Gunn isn't behind the camera; instead, it's Craig Gillespie, responsible for movies including I, Tonya and Cruella,"
Supergirl appears briefly in James Gunn's Superman (2025) as Kara Zor-El and is linked to Krypto the dog, who steals scenes in the trailer. The trailer pairs Blondie's "Call Me" with comedic beats: Krypto urinates on a Superman article and Kara wakes up with a hangover before large-scale action sequences. Milly Alcock plays Supergirl and Craig Gillespie directs, with the film set for June 26, 2026. The Supergirl cinematic history stretches back 42 years to a 1984 film whose failure curtailed early superheroine projects. Early plans positioned Supergirl as a revitalizing, female-audience-oriented addition to the Superman franchise.
