A New Look at the DCU

DC Studios has released a fresh trailer for the upcoming Supergirl film, providing fans with an expanded look at Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El and Jason Momoa as the intergalactic bounty hunter, Lobo. The footage clarifies the film's stakes and plot, which draws heavy inspiration from Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

1. A Check-in from Superman

The trailer opens with a heartfelt call from Superman, who expresses concern over Kara’s frequent off-world excursions with Krypto. He worries that her detachment from Earth will prevent her from ever truly finding a home.

2. Kara’s Departure from Krypton

Flashbacks reveal the final moments of Argo City. We see David Krumholtz as Zor-El, the Kryptonian scientist and brother to Jor-El, sending a young Kara and Krypto away in a spaceship just before the city's destruction.

3. A Cosmic Soundtrack

The trailer features a haunting, space-themed remix of Jimmy Ruffin’s “What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted.” The lyrics mirror Kara’s internal grief and her struggle to connect with reality.

4. The Alliance with Ruthye

Kara forms an alliance with Ruthye Marye Knoll, who is seeking revenge against the space pirate Krem for the murder of her family. This partnership is central to the film’s narrative.

5. Higher Stakes for Krypto

Unlike the source material, the film raises the stakes by giving Kara only three days to secure an antidote for a poisoned Krypto. This change creates a more immediate, urgent mission for the protagonists.

6. Krem of the Yellow Hills

Matthias Schoenaerts portrays the antagonist, Krem. The trailer showcases a unique, intimidating design for the space pirate, marking a distinct visual departure from the comic book version.

7. Lobo’s Chaotic Introduction

Jason Momoa’s Lobo makes a memorable debut in a cosmic dive bar following a brawl. The trailer establishes a humorous, antagonistic dynamic between him and Supergirl, setting the stage for an uneasy partnership.

8. Themes of Healing

The film emphasizes the emotional journey of its leads. In one scene, Kara warns Ruthye that revenge will not erase her pain, highlighting the movie's focus on grief and recovery.

9. Lobo’s Iconic Spacehog

The trailer provides multiple glimpses of Lobo’s signature spacehog. While it is shown driving on the hull of a spaceship, fans are left wondering if the vehicle will demonstrate its full flight capabilities in the final film.

10. The Signature Hook

The trailer concludes with an action-packed shot of Lobo using his iconic chained gutting hook during a brawl. The sequence captures the character's comic-accurate brutality, reflecting Momoa’s dedication to the role.
