Supergirl flop persists, sequel slated for 2027

Entities: Milly Alcock · Lobo · Craig Gillespie · Jason Momoa · Supergirl (film)

Overview

Warner Bros. and DC Studios released *Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow* on 26 June 2026 as the second film of the new DC Universe. The movie earned about $62.6 million worldwide, well below the $300 million break‑even target, prompting analysts to project $100‑125 million in losses. Critics were divided: Milly Alcock’s portrayal of Kara Zor‑El and the film’s production design drew praise, while the screenplay, editing and tonal shifts were widely criticised. A post‑production re‑cut overseen by co‑CEO James Gunn introduced writer Jeremy Slater and editor Fred Raskin, altering the climactic battle and its score.

DC Studios announced a 224‑page hardcover art book, *From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl*, authored by James Field and slated for 29 September 2026, compiling concept art, design material and interviews tracing Kara’s evolution from page to screen. Warner Bros. plans a digital rental/purchase window followed by an HBO Max debut in August‑September 2026.

In July 2026, James Gunn teased a Green Lantern‑themed prop on Threads, referencing the upcoming *Man of Tomorrow* film scheduled for 9 July 2027, which will feature Nathan Fillion, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, and Alcock reprising Supergirl. Reviews continued to note Alcock’s emotional performance and the inclusion of Krypto, the canine sidekick.

Additional coverage highlighted Jason Momoa’s extensive Lobo makeup, describing the process as physically taxing and noting that many reviewers called the film “disposable.” The consensus remains mixed, with the movie’s box‑office shortfall and polarized critical response persisting as it heads toward its 2027 sequel, which will introduce a new Superman (David Corenswet), Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and Brainiac (Lars Eidinger).
