First Look: Milly Alcock’s Supergirl Takes Center Stage in New DCU Movie Poster

by

Within a week following the premiere of “Superman”, James Gunn has unveiled the initial official snapshot from the forthcoming DCU film, titled “Supergirl”. Milly Alcock’s spirited superhero had a brief appearance on screen in Gunn’s reboot of Man of Steel, but fans can expect a lot more of this dynamic Kryptonian. Alcock is slated to lead her own movie, scheduled for release next summer, based on the critically acclaimed comic book story, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” by Tom King.

In approximately eleven months, discussions about the “Supergirl” movie have been ongoing between Gunn and the executive team at DC Studios. It appears that production on the film has concluded, and the latest adaptation of “Superman,” featuring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, and Rachel Brosnahan, is currently playing in cinemas. With this release out of the way, there’s now room for the DC Universe to focus its promotional efforts on Craig Gillespie’s upcoming “Supergirl” movie.

In response to the release of Superman, James Gunn shared on social media the initial official photo featuring Milly Alcock in her role for the upcoming Supergirl film.

Gunn posted the poster across multiple social media platforms. The image features Alcock’s “Woman of Tomorrow,” enjoying a cool beverage in her complete supersuit. Nearby, the famous slogan from Superman, “Look up,” has been altered to read, “Look out.

It appears that DC Studios and Warner Bros. are using the phrase “‘Keep a watch!’” as their slogan for the upcoming film, which is inspired by the popular catchphrase from James Gunn’s first DC Universe blockbuster.

On June 26, 2026, the movie titled “Supergirl” directed by Craig Gillespie (known for “I, Tonya”) will soar into cinemas. The upcoming film features Milly Alcock from “House of the Dragon” as the main character Supergirl, along with Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, and Jason Momoa portraying Lobo. This movie will narrate the tale of Lara Zor-El, a woman scarred by trauma, who embarks on a self-destructive quest for self-discovery across the universe, only to find herself entangled in a puzzling mission for retribution.

What To Expect From Supergirl’s Marketing Campaign

It might catch some people off guard that the marketing campaign for Supergirl has already begun, more than 11 months prior to its release, but in truth, it’s a strategic move to kick-start the promotion for the anticipated summer blockbuster of 2026.

At this moment, James Gunn’s version of Superman and the DCU are experiencing a surge of positive energy. The Superman film has been met with widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, and it’s raking in profits at the box office (over $232 million worldwide), leaving fans eager for the franchise’s upcoming projects.

How about this instead: Why don’t we spark some anticipation among the audience by mentioning that another DC Universe film is on its way, and hint at an exciting potential title such as “Supergirl”?

Given that Milly Alcock’s portrayal of the Woman of Steel has already graced the big screen, it makes the upcoming appearance in Superman all the more significant. Critics and viewers alike have praised her performance as one of the standout moments in the film, with many expressing their newfound affection for Alcock’s interpretation of this famous comic book heroine.

Kick-starting discussions about the upcoming Supergirl movie, this poster serves as an initiation point. A teaser trailer might drop by the year’s end, followed eventually by a full-length trailer in early 2026, ensuring that the audience remains engaged and excited about the impending DCU addition – the Supergirl movie.
