Supergirl film draws mixed reviews, box‑office doubts and a Fortnite tie‑in
Epic Games confirmed a Supergirl collaboration for Fortnite, teasing a Krypto side‑kick hunt and promising a Supergirl skin and companion in the Item Shop on June 26, 2026, the same day the DCU film opens in theatres.
Box‑office trackers have cut the film’s opening‑weekend estimate to a possible low of $39 million domestically, down from earlier forecasts above $55 million, as analysts note waning audience enthusiasm and competition from the upcoming Toy Story 5 release.
Early audience reactions describe the movie as a “grim, funny yet surprisingly somber space adventure,” with comparisons to Mad Max and True Grit. Reviewers praised Milly Alcock’s performance as Kara Zor‑El and Jason Momoa’s turn as Lobo, while some criticized the pacing and the villain’s depth.
Separately, the DCU’s forthcoming horror entry Clayface, slated for October 2026, is reported to feature a brief cameo by Aaron Paul, known for Breaking Bad, adding another facet to the studio’s expanding slate.
