Supergirl First Reactions Are Officially In For James Gunn’s Next DC Movie

The Girl of Steel is the next DC Universe hero to get the spotlight.

As Supergirl opens in theaters this month, the first round of reactions for the DC Studios film have finally emerged online.

ScreenRant’s own Ash Crossan shared how “I really dug #Supergirl. Milly is excellent and I too am a hot mess who locks in for work.”

The Mary Sue’s Rachel Leishman commented how the film “is everything I wanted it to be. Girls can be messy and that rules! Kara isn’t her cousin and I really loved how this movie makes that clear. She’s a different kind of hero and perfect in every way.”

Den of Geek’s David Crow stated that the DCU installment is “the superhero movie I’ve missed: a straightforward, poignant story with lots of emotion, especially when we see Kara through little Ruthye’s eyes. Luckily that’s every action scene. Milly Alcock absolutely owns the role and will change our idea of Supergirl forever.”

Multiverse of Color’s Breeze Riley celebrated Milly Alcock’s solo adventure as “a fun and surprisingly emotional journey that will make you fall in love with Milly Alcock’s version of the hero. The film successfully establishes Kara’s identity independent of her cousin while still creating continuity and expanding the DCU.”

ComicBook’s Chris Killian revealed in his thoughts, “If you threw GOTG, True Grit, and Mad Max into a DC blender, you’d get #Supergirl – a grimy, funny, yet surprisingly somber space adventure. Milly shines, especially when we get into Kara’s tragic backstory, but Jason Momoa is having the fraggin’ time of his life as Lobo. I also want to highlight the practical effects. The design, makeup, and puppetry are all Oscar-level good. Krypton looks incredible. And my goodness does this movie solidify what peak casting David Corenswet is as Supes. Every time he’s on screen, you can’t help but smile. “

Junior Felix stated that Kara’s 2026 story absolutely “SOARS! Milly Alcock is the perfect Kara. This film is filled with gorgeous set pieces and dazzling action sequences. Momoa IS LOBO, but I wanted more of him. The scenes with Clark are priceless. Third act is F’N fun. The future is bright with this Supergirl.”
