AceShowbiz - Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa joined DC Studios co-head Peter Safran onstage at CinemaCon to promote their upcoming film Supergirl, set for release on June 26. The Warner Bros. presentation showcased an extended scene from the movie directed by Craig Gillespie.

Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman, who was first introduced in last summer’s Superman film, portrayed by David Corenswet. In that brief appearance, Kara was seen retrieving her dog Krypto. The new footage presented at CinemaCon expands on her character’s journey, featuring a high-stakes encounter with tech pirates aiming to hijack their bus, fuel, and engine.

During the sequence, Kara faces a fierce battle with these nefarious characters. After a series of intense fight scenes, she tries to put on a space suit but is pulled out of the vehicle and floats helplessly in space until her powers activate. One character exclaims as she flies toward the sun, emphasizing her growing strength.

Alcock reflected on the experience, saying, "This journey’s been incredibly transformative for me, not only personally but professionally."

Jason Momoa, who plays the anti-hero Lobo in the film, expressed his excitement about the role, calling it a dream come true and referencing his long-time fandom of the comic character. Having previously portrayed Aquaman in the DC universe, Momoa was asked by Safran about a hypothetical confrontation between Lobo and Aquaman.

Momoa humorously responded that the two characters would likely share a few hundred beers and quickly become friends rather than fight. He also joked about wanting director James Gunn to make a movie about the pair, to which Safran quipped the film might hit theaters in 2031.

Director Craig Gillespie, known for Cruella, praised the complexity of the Supergirl character, describing her as "complex, flawed, and complicated." The film’s screenplay was written by Ana Nogueira, with James Gunn and Peter Safran serving as producers. The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, and Emily Beecham.

Gillespie previously shared that the movie tells an anti-hero story, focusing on Kara’s internal struggles and demons, which contrast with Superman’s current life stage. Meanwhile, Safran revealed that the sequel to Superman, titled Man of Tomorrow, will begin filming next week.

CinemaCon, the industry event where this presentation took place, is an annual convention for exhibitors and Hollywood studios. This year’s event ran from April 13 to April 16 and is officially organized by Cinema United.
