Complete spoilers immediately followed for the years 2025 Superman movie.
Superman More than just make us believe that a man can fly.
With a transport of $ 200 million + at the world box office on the opening weekend, as well as the critical and commercial praise it received, James Gunn Superman The film made us believe again in DC comic films. The first DC Universe film (DCU) – Discover how to watch DC films in order while you are here – also gave us an extremely entertaining, breathtaking and sincere story filled with familiar names and unknown characters.
This is also where I think Superman succeeds best. From Mr. Terrific and the engineer, the film of the Chapter One DCU highlights many characters from underestimated DC comics who deserve their time to shine in the restored cinematographic franchise of Gunn and Peter Sarfran. However, it is another metahuman – the one that will be recognizable for certain viewers, but no others – than Superman Really good, even if it is only in front of the camera for about 30 seconds: Supergirl.
It only briefly makes the cameos, but the Supergirl of Milly Alcock – the real name Kara Zor -El – is all I wanted to adapt to the cousin of Superman.
I do not throw a shadow on Meg Dongelly, who was one of the last contenders for the role of Supergirl before losing against Alcock in January 2024, saying this either. I am sure that Donelly would have been a great supergirl, but there is just something about Alcock’s time, but lively on the screen which captures the rebellious and reckless side of the parent of Clark Kent / Kal-El that we really saw in the comics.
Take her crashing through the bad part of the fortress of loneliness because she is drunk (yes, she is slightly intoxicated, but she is not an alcoholic or frat girl, because some have incorrectly disparaged Gunn and company), then blame the quips for having moved the door in an apparent overhaul of her secret headquarters. Or, what would you say about his lack of concern for the way Kal-El is or what he did, and only returning to earth to recover his disobedient pet Krypto?
Then, there is the pleasure it derives from its launch by Krypto – a great cry of the way Supes managed similar situations throughout the film. Oh, and let’s not forget that she is humorous with Clark – she calls her “B *** H” after thanking her sarcastic for baby -sitting Krypto – before she flies to an unknown place.
Combine the above with her authentic supergirl costume, as well as the beige color coat she wears in `Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow ‘- The series of comic strips with eight numbers that is inspired by her next solo film, and Kara d’Alcock could be the most entirely formed version of the character we have still seen. Indeed, associate with the above with the strong sense of justice and the attentive nature that it posted in reinimations previous with large and small screen, makes me even more confident than those involved in Supergirl will get him out of the park.
Of course, it is difficult to read too much in the cameo of Alcock and to determine if it can wear a tent film.
Supergirl: woman of tomorrowwhose title has recently been shortened to simply SupergirlWill not only be the first autonomous film of Kryptonian in more than 40 years, but it is also the first film Alcock is the main star of. The pressure is certainly on to ensure that Alcock was the right choice for the role, and that Gunn and Safran appealed to prioritize a supergirl film on a solo Batman or Wonder Woman Dcu film, which are both at the start of development.
The DCU is well started by SupermanBut he will need other projects like Supergirl,, Peacemaker Season 2, LanternsAnd Clay To perform well. If they do, the DCU is worth investing. If, for any reason, Supergirl struggles, however, we could have a post-Avengers: end of game The situation that saw Marvel fans has a love project but who don’t like the next one.
Notwithstanding these two slight concerns, I am confident Supergirl will be a great success and the performance of Alcock will be a great reason why. She has already ordered the screen of season 1 of Dragon HouseWhile its natural and indisputable talent was in its own right in the HBO Max program aforementioned and recently Netflix TV Original Sirens. So there is no reason why Alcock cannot deliver an equally fantastic display in the next cinematographic outing of Girl of Steel. If anything, his lonely scene Superman confirms that she will do it.
Supergirl Flocked in theaters around the world on June 26, 2026. To find out more about one of the new most anticipated films of next year, read my ultimate guide on the next outing on the big screen of Supergirl.
