Supergirl Teaser Trailer Gets Release Date
DC Studios and Warner Bros. have locked the drop date for the first Supergirl teaser, priming Craig Gillespie’s Milly Alcock-led DCU adventure for liftoff. Alcock’s Kara Zor-El, who briefly appeared in James Gunn’s Superman, soars into her own film in U.S. theaters next summer.
Mark your calendar for a trailer about a trailer. DC Studios and Warner Bros. are finally putting a date on the first look at their Supergirl movie. Yes, this is where we are now.
When to watch the first teaser
Per World of Reel, the first Supergirl teaser lands on Thursday, December 11, 2025. The exact drop time is still a mystery. James Gunn already started the drumbeat this week by posting a ten-second tease on social media that basically said, yep, the teaser is coming. This date was first reported by Brandon Schreur at SuperHeroHype.
The movie itself
Supergirl is part of the DCU and is directed by Craig Gillespie. Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl — the same character who briefly pops up in Gunn's Superman. The film is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and opens in U.S. theaters on June 26, 2026.
What story are they telling?
The movie pulls from Woman of Tomorrow, where Kara is drifting, more than a little fed up with being seen as Superman’s cousin instead of her own person. That changes when a young alien girl whose world has been wiped out begs for help hunting down the people responsible. It is a revenge quest with real bite: if Kara walks away, the kid plans to do it alone, consequences be damned. The journey sends a Kryptonian, a loyal dog, and a furious, heartbroken child across space, and it does not leave any of them the same.
