Milly Alcock’s Supergirl Nails the Star-Lord Move MCU Fans Still Rave About

With the full Supergirl trailer just hours away, DC slipped out a quick teaser, and fans immediately zeroed in on one very familiar detail. If you ever wore out a Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, you probably spotted it too.

The teaser: Blondie, big feelings, and... those headphones

The clip shows Milly Alcock as Supergirl vibing to Blondie’s 'Call Me' while sporting old-school, over-ear headphones that look a whole lot like the ones Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord made iconic. A fan account even fired off a simple 'IS THAT...?' post on X on December 10, 2025, which kind of says it all.

Is it a deliberate wink from James Gunn’s DC era toward his Marvel past, or just a happy coincidence? Either way, the echo is hard to miss. Beyond the needle drop, the teaser flashes quick hits of Kara taking flight, a tense beat with guns trained on her, and what looks like an alien funeral procession. Moody, pulpy, and a little meaner than your average Kryptonian highlight reel.

So, are Gunn and Pratt teaming up again?

This comes up every few months, and it came up again when Gunn hopped on the PelucheEn ElEstuche YouTube channel and got asked if Pratt might suit up as Batman in the new DC Universe. Gunn did not dance around it.

'As Batman? No.'

'As something else? Yes.'

'Chris Pratt’s one of my best friends.'

Translation: Bats is off the table, but a role somewhere in Gunn’s DC plans is absolutely in play. Pratt, for his part, said back in 2023 that 'If James thought I was right for it, then you know that I would have to consider it.' If you want to toss out candidates, Booster Gold feels like the obvious dart to throw, but that’s just me spitballing.

What Alcock’s Supergirl is actually about

We already got a peek at Milly Alcock’s Kara alongside David Corenswet’s Superman, and she reads very different from her cousin: sharper edges, less sunshine. The 2026 movie pulls from Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', and the setup is pretty straightforward if you’re new to it.

Kara Zor-El has watched the kid she was sent to protect, Kal-El, do just fine without her on Earth, leaving her with a serious case of now what. Before she fully checks out, a young warrior named Ruthye Marye Knoll finds her and asks for help hunting down the people who killed her father and razed her home. It becomes a revenge mission with a harder bite than most Supergirl stories. The comic’s official synopsis lays out that exact crossroads for Kara: out of purpose, roped into a brutal quest, and forced to decide what kind of hero she wants to be when the other option is vengeance at any cost.

The read

If the teaser is any indication, this one’s leaning into a scrappier, space-western vibe, and I’m not mad at that. As for the headphone parallel: if it’s intentional, it’s a cheeky little bridge from Gunn’s Marvel past to his DC present; if not, it’s still a great song choice and a fun Rorschach test for fans.
