As a second instalment of the DC Universe (DCU), ‘Supergirl’ (2026) sets a different tone in James Gunn’s cinematic universe. It follows Supergirl in her quest to save her dog while becoming her best self.
The film was based on the comic ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ (2021–2022), which was in turn based on the 1968 novel ‘True Grit’, and follows the same plot line.
After her whole family was murdered, Ruthee Ruthye Marye Knoll (Matthias Schoenaerts) sets out to seek revenge on a space bandit Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts). She meets Kara Zor-El / Supergirl (Milly Alcock), whose dog, Krypto, has also been poisoned by Krem, who is also the only person with an antidote. Together, they embark on an interplanetary adventure to seek revenge and the cure.
