James Gunn Rejects Reported $200 Million Budget for Supergirl

The DC Studios chief dismissed a Forbes estimate as inaccurate, leaving the film’s production cost undisclosed ahead of its June 2026 debut.

Overview

  • Gunn responded on Threads that the $200 million figure is “not even a little bit true.”
  • The number appeared in a Forbes profile on star Milly Alcock, presented as an offhand detail rather than confirmed studio guidance.
  • DC leadership has challenged disputed budget claims before, including a purported Ohio filing about Superman that Gunn questioned publicly.
  • The studio has not announced an official budget for Supergirl, and current reporting does not establish a verified figure.
  • Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie, stars Milly Alcock, adapts Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Woman of Tomorrow, and is slated for U.S. theaters on June 26, 2026.
