James Gunn’s Superman might have ushered in a new era of earnest superhero storytelling, but it also paved the way for what could be the most chaotic origin story of them all. Now that the Last Son of Krypton has landed in the new DC Universe in 2025, his hotheaded cousin Kara isn’t far behind.
Supergirl will be the second big-screen installment of the DCU’s new era, and one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. It’s been decades since Kara Zor-El has gotten a true spotlight in a solo film, and her 1984 debut wasn’t exactly well-received. Though her small-screen series, now over a decade old, from CBS and the CW, starring Melissa Benoist, was better received.
