James Gunn's recent comments about Supergirl could mean bad news for Krypto fans. Following the release of Superman, the next theatrically released DCU movie will be Supergirl, which arrives in June 2026.

Lobo, who doesn't appear in the "Woman of Tomorrow" comic, possesses superstrength and rapid healing abilities in the same vein as Wolverine and roams the galaxy as a ruthless bounty hunter with deadly marksmanship. David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham are also on board as Kara's parents, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed in January.

Supergirl, which is helmed by Craig Gillespie and stars House of the Dragon ‘s Milly Alcock reps her first produced screenplay based on Tom King’s graphic novel, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The pic comes out on June 26, 2026.

The upcoming 'Supergirl' starring Milly Alcock could take place during the same time as James Gunn's 'Superman' after considering the ending of the latter.

Hot off the heels of the blockbuster success of Superman, DC Studios is ready to introduce us to another child of Krypton already. After tiny teases throughout its production, we have our first proper look at Milly Alcock’s Supergirl.

Alcock shared the meme just moments after DC boss James Gunn posted the first Supergirl poster. The new look shows the hero standing in front of a Superman mural, which she has vandalized, whilst she drinks an unknown beverage from a paper cup. Both the meme and the poster sure do fit with Supergirl’s wild reputation as introduced in Superman.

Released yesterday (July 16) by DC Studios co-chief James Gunn, it shows the eponymous hero sipping on a Slurpie as she poses next to the immediately recognizable 'S' symbol that adorns her and fellow Kryptonian Superman 's outfits.
