Supergirl

Truth. Justice. Whatever.

RELEASED 24 Jun 20261h 48m★ 6.7 TMDB

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

Why it matters in DC

Kara's interstellar journey puts another Kryptonian perspective at the centre of a DC film. The emphasis on vengeance and justice offers a different question from Clark Kent's search for belonging: how does a hero respond when the conflict becomes personal?
