Hideo Kojima lauds Supergirl as a coming‑of‑age western

Video‑game visionary Hideo Kojima shared his thoughts on the 2026 film Supergirl, saying it felt less like a conventional superhero blockbuster and more like a western. In an X post he likened the movie to the 1966 classic *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly*, noting that heroes, villains and scoundrels all converge toward a single destination. Kojima described Supergirl as a coming‑of‑age story about Kara Zor‑El grappling with her trauma, contrasting it with the survival‑driven tone of *Mad Max: Fury Road*.

While critics have given the film a mixed reception – a 56 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes – audience scores are higher (77 % on Popcornmeter). Box‑office estimates place its opening weekend between $62 million and $77 million worldwide against a reported $170 million production and marketing budget.
