At CCXP in São Paulo, O Globo watched the trailer for the new DC Studio film and spoke with James Gunn, Alcock Alcock and Craig Gillespie.The film, scheduled for release on June 26, 2026, features Kara Zor-el, played by Millie, who will challenge traditional heroes and bring a more realistic and human story.

After the success of 'Superman' which was released in July this year, it's time to make a movie version of the famous superhero's cousin Kara Zor-El.With Millie Alcock (known from the "House of the Dragon" series) as the lead character and directed by Craig Gillespie, "Supergirl" doesn't show a young heroine on Earth, but instead travels through space and fights for justice.During last weekend's CCXP in Sao Paulo, O GLOBO got a first-hand look at the trailer for the movie, which was released this Thursday (11th) and followed the broadcast of a chat between DC Studios CEO James Gunn, the director and the actor.The production is slated to hit theaters on June 26, 2026

In an interview in the space reserved for the pop culture event, the trio answered questions from the media and guests around the world. Although the action is closer, Supergirl is still one of the highlights of the Warner CCXP booth. In addition to the activities aimed at fans and visitors, the space also shows the original costumes of the main women of the film.

The film, originally titled "Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow", is a science fiction novel adapted from the DC comic of the same name, written by Tom King and illustrated by the Brazilian Bilquis Aveli. The story of the film version was written by the American Anna Nogueira.

The CEO of DC Studios along with Peter Safran, James Gunn is also responsible for developing the new world of DC Comics movies.The director, the executive producer of "Superman", Gunn said that he thought it was only DCU before he took the responsibility of the Studio.

- It is a chicken declared at a thing, you have to throw their quality novel is published in the Come Supergirl.IV.Once thought that Millie would be great for the role, despite not knowing her name, as I know you From "House of the Dragon" (laughs).Millie will be a "rock and roll supergirl" - he said.

In the past, the pregnant woman was already the subject of American TV lessons. Melissa Benoist Schinart, the production had six seasons and was broadcast last year, this time Karada described the game and imperfection.Konstassisda describes us as "Chaos".

In the new storyline, Supergirl travels through space as she teams up with young Ruthye Marie Knoll to find the killer of the girl's father, Krem.

- She's a very flawed character for a superhero.She doesn't want to play the hero and is dealing with a lot of personal demons.She's an anti-heroine and she's very reluctantly drawn into the world where she has to be the hero.And we see how she deals with that, how she deals with the situation and how she finds herself in this story—Gillespie, the director of the film.said

Unlike "Superman"

Supergirl made her debut in DC's new cinematic universe, even in her own production.That's because his character made a brief appearance in the final minutes of his uncle's film "Superman," which already gives a brief idea of ​​the "confusion" to come.

During the conversation, he asked about the difference between the two characters.For Millimeter, these two personalities are opposites: while Superman is "strong" towards humans, Superman trusts humans.

- Supergirl's build is completely different compared to Superman's.Kara grew up on a dead planet, everything she knew and loved was dead.That's why he doesn't trust many.Clark is the opposite, because he lives a self-protective life and people expect good things - said the actor.- Kara is not home.

As for the film's proximity, it should be popular with audiences: Krypto and Superdog will return to the big screen.

- Krypto is still a bad dog.The difference is that Kara Kara kind of likes her, but Clark resents her - Gunn laughs.

Like Song, Gillespie also speculates at one point in the conversation that Millie will give Supergirl a new tone.For the director, the actress is a "rebellious soul", the character uses cynicism as a protective armor.

- There is a "punk" feeling about it and Gilly puts it all in - he added.

With a simpler answer than her companions, Milly said that she believes that her version of the main character will speak to a new generation of women who want to identify with the dramas of the main films.In 2026, "Supergirl" should go against the grain of other heroines, who are sometimes represented as more perfect than the male protagonists.

- SuperGirl shows that women can have flaws and they don't have to be perfect to solve internal problems.We are forced to buy into this narrative that we have to be perfect in life ... but Kara is a person whose beauty and uniqueness - he said.
