Sony Pictures unveiled a new poster for its upcoming Supergirl film, directed by Craig Gillespie,and the image immediately ignited online debate. The artwork, created by designer Bilquis Evely, features an alien figure that many fans say looks strikingly similar to a captive creature from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, prompting speculation about a possible cross‑franchise nod.

The poster centers on Melissa Benoist’s Kara Danvers (Supergirl) alongside an otherworldly being that recalls the DC Comics character Lexo Sooger. According to the source, the alien’s design also mirrors the imprisoned creature seen in the climactic battle of The Last Jedi, leading some to wonder whether Sony is borrowing visual cues from the Star Wars saga.

Fans dissect the alien’s design and demand claarification from DC

Social‑media users quickly identified the creature’s resemblance to both Lexo Sooger and the Star Wars entity, launching threads on Twitter and Reddit. One commentator wrote, “Is this a licensed reference to The Last Jedi or a clever Easter egg for comic fans?” The source notes that DC has not issued an official comment, leaving the speculation open‑ended.

Supergirl becomes Sony’s first major DC Universe release

Supergirl marks Sony Pictures’ inaugural foray into the DC Universe, a milestone highlighted in the source’s overview of the film’s production. The movie stars Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, and Chris Wood, with supporting roles for David Mikkelson, David Harbour, and Jessica Henwick. As the film approaches its release date, the poster controversy adds an unexpected layer of buzz to the franchise’s launch.

What the alien could mean for the film’s narrative

Analysts suggest that the alien’s inclusion might signal a broader intergalactic storyline, perhaps tying Supergirl’s Kryptonian origins to other extraterrestrial mythologies.. However, the source cautions that no plot details have been confirmed, and the creature could simply be a visual hook designed to attract a wider audience.

Who is behind the speculation? The unanswered Lexo Sooger link

While fans point to Lexo Sooger as a possible inspiration, the source provides no evidence that the character will appear in the movie. The lingering question remains: is the alien a nod to Lexo Sooger, a Star Wars homage, or an entirely new creation for the film?
