US EditionThe DCU's Supergirl Is 'A Total Mess,' James Gunn Says: 'She's Ended Up Different Than Her Cousin'
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The DC Universe rebooted by James Gunn features a darker, trauma-affected Supergirl, with the film set to follow Superman as the franchise's second major release.
- The DC Universe film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock, is set to release on June 26, 2026.
- James Gunn explained Supergirl has a much harsher and more difficult background than Superman, making her character a total mess.
- Unlike Superman, Supergirl grew up for 14 years on a distant piece of Krypton under harsh conditions, which shaped her trauma and behavior.
- Superman earned $217 million globally and $122 million domestically, the largest U.S. solo Superman launch not adjusted for inflation, setting the stage for Supergirl's debut.
- Supergirl's different tone and complex character suggest a shift in the DC Universe’s portrayal of Kryptonians, promising a layered, human perspective for audiences.
