‘Supergirl’ review: Rough around the edges, but this space adventure is a blast

Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in "Supergirl" movie (2026).

It’s been just under a year since James Gunn’s “Superman” reboot launched the DCU, and now we’re getting another major addition to the franchise, this time centred on the iconic heroine Supergirl. Starring “House of the Dragon” breakout Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the film is heavily based on the critically acclaimed 2021 eight-issue comic miniseries "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow." Moving away from the traditional Earth-bound superhero formula, the movie launches the character into a rugged, cosmic road trip across the stars.
