We haven’t heard much about Warner Bros.’ forthcoming Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock in the title role, since the first teaser dropped back in December. But with its summer release approaching, the studio just released the first official full trailer, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser.
As previously reported, we met Alcock’s Supergirl briefly at the end of Superman, when she showed up to collect her dog Krypto, still a bit hungover from partying on a red-sun planet. She is more jaded than her cousin, having witnessed the destruction of Krypton and the loss of everything and everyone she loved. “He sees the good in everyone, and I see the truth,” she says in the teaser.
Kara, aka Supergirl, is turning 23 and declares it will be the best year yet, which is admittedly “not a very high bar to clear.” While she might not be too keen on the prospect, she’s going to be a superhero nonetheless. Per the logline: “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.”
