Milly Alcock's 'Supergirl' film receives mixed early reactions

The upcoming DCU movie *Supergirl*, starring Milly Alcock as the titular heroine and featuring Jason Momoa as Lobo and Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem, has begun generating buzz on social media ahead of its worldwide theatrical release. Critics praised Alcock’s performance, with Screen Rant’s Ash Crossan writing, “Milly is excellent,” and Den of Geek’s David Crow describing the film as “a straightforward, poignant story… Milly Alcock absolutely owns the role.” The action, humor, and costume design also drew positive comments.

Other reviewers noted shortcomings, citing an underdeveloped script and a “bland villain.” The film was compared to *Mad Max* for its darker tone, and some observed that it “doesn’t have the resonance of *Superman*.” Early box‑office projections for the U.S. opening ranged from $47 million to $60 million, though pre‑sales indicated a possible decline.
