Storyline & Plot
The film follows Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, who survived Krypton’s destruction on a fragment of the planet known as Argo City.
Unlike Superman, Kara grew up surrounded by tragedy and loss, making her more hardened and emotionally complex.
On her 21st birthday, Kara sets out on a journey across the galaxy with her loyal dog Krypto. She meets Ruthye, a young alien seeking revenge for her father’s death. Together, they face cosmic dangers, moral dilemmas, and the ruthless killer Krem of the Yellow Hills.
The film explores grief, justice, and hope, showing a darker, more mature Supergirl than ever before.
Production & Development
Filming began in early 2025 at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the UK.
James Gunn praised the script, calling it “bold and emotional.”
The movie will feature stunning cosmic visuals, alien worlds, and a powerful mix of action and emotion.
Tone & Style
This version of Supergirl is grittier, darker, and more grounded.
It focuses on Kara’s resilience and strength after witnessing loss on a galactic scale.
Expect epic visuals, emotional storytelling, and space adventure unlike any previous DC movie.
Why It Stands Out
- A fresh origin story focused on Kara’s trauma and courage
- Expands DC’s cosmic universe beyond Earth
- Ties directly into James Gunn’s new DCU continuity
