James Gunn Debuts First Supergirl Teaser as Select Press Preview Footage Ahead of Trailer This Week

The campaign mirrors last year’s Superman rollout with a tease‑first strategy that sets up a darker, space‑driven introduction to Kara Zor‑El.

Overview

  • James Gunn shared a brief official clip showing Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor‑El and said a teaser trailer will arrive this week.
  • Multiple outlets report the full trailer is expected online Thursday, December 11, though DC has not formally confirmed the exact timing.
  • DC hosted a selective launch event in New York where invited press saw the first footage and heard remarks from Gunn and director Craig Gillespie.
  • The film is positioned as a grittier, space‑oriented adaptation of Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, signaling a different tone from Gunn’s Superman.
  • Milly Alcock leads a cast that includes Jason Momoa as Lobo, with Craig Gillespie directing from Ana Nogueira’s script, and a theatrical release set for June 26, 2026.
