Warner Bros. has released two new, exclusive clips from Supergirl, two promotional videos that show the first meeting between Supergirl and Superman and the opening of a major bar brawl.
The new DCU is stepping into its second year in 2026, with Supergirl (with its enormous budget) shaping up as Warner Bros.’s biggest cinematic event of the year. Big centerpiece, because the horror film Clayface is likely to target a niche audience in the fall, and the police drama Lanterns will keep HBO’s slate busy in August. It falls to the Kryptonian native to carry DC’s big-screen shine.
Only a few weeks before the big leap into theaters, the production dropped two exclusive clips to keep fans on edge. The first segment takes us back to the heroine’s roots with her arrival on Earth, while the second shifts into a The Fly-inspired mode crossed with the brilliant Over the Top (yes, we love that Stallone moment), for a grand moment of poetry (not really) where Clark’s cousin proves she isn’t here to pull punches.
Supergirl Breaks the Ice
The first clip comes as a flashback, introducing Kara Zor-El’s first steps on our world. Stranded aboard her escape capsule with the indispensable—yet incredibly nagging—critter Krypto, the young exile is immediately greeted by her cousin Kal-El, portrayed by David Corenswet.
The only hitch in this cosmic family reunion: the language barrier is total, as Kara doesn’t speak a word of English while Superman knows not a word of Kryptonian. The sequence yields a light, comic beat when Kara, utterly disoriented by her journey, squints at her cousin’s outfit and concludes that he’s strolling around in his underwear.
The second excerpt jumps forward to a much more contemporary tempo. There we find a battle-hardened Supergirl traveling alongside the young Ruthye Mary Knoll, portrayed by Eve Ridley. True to her volcanic temperament, the heroine decides to settle a barroom dispute in the most pulp fashion possible: a good old-fashioned arm-wrestling match.
Of course, the joke goes off the rails when a massive extraterrestrial creature steps in to grab the spotlight and challenge the Kryptonian. Not his day: Kara snaps the alien’s arm with a sickening crack. The tavern erupts as the crowd closes in, but the fifty local aliens have no chance against Kara Zor-El’s fury.
Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl will star Milly Alcock in the lead role. The actress will be joined by David Corenswet, Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, not to mention Jason Momoa, who will bring the bounty hunter Lobo to life. The date is officially set for release in theaters on July 1, 2026.
