In the last few years, DC has been rebuilding and resetting its roster to take fans on a journey filled with “Gods and Monsters.” With James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm of the studio, one decent project after another is slowly rebuilding fans’ trust and gathering a new audience. With series like Creature Commandos, John Cena’s Peacemaker Season 2, and, of course, the David Corenswet-led Superman on the big screen, fans are eager to see what comes next from the studio.
While Lanterns will take over the small screen, theaters are gearing up for Milly Alcock’s debut as Supergirl later this month. The marketing for the feature has begun showcasing the return of familiar characters like Krypto and even Kal-El (Corenswet) himself, as well as the highly anticipated first look at Jason Momoa’s Lobo. From the trailer, Supergirl feels like a neon-lit space western, which sets the right mood for the film, given that Superman, too, took itself less seriously and played with campy colors and a lighter environment.
With all the right elements in place, Supergirl seems to be ready to thoroughly entertain audiences in theaters. Now, the runtime of the feature has been revealed, and it’s surprisingly shorter than most DC entries. Supergirl is exactly 107 minutes 55 secs long, which means it’s a few seconds short of 1 hour and 48 minutes. In comparison, 2026’s Superman was 2 hours and 9 minutes long, and 2020’s Birds of Prey was considered a short movie at 1 hour and 49 minutes. However, a short runtime only means we’ll follow a crisp narrative with tight structure and pacing; think of successful films like the original Deadpool, which runs 1 hour and 48 minutes, and X-Men, which runs 1 hour and 44 minutes.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
The Matrix
Mad Max
Blade Runner
Dune
Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
What’s ‘Supergirl’ About?
Based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a 2021–2022 comic series by writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely, Supergirl will follow Kara on a quest to help an alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll, avenge her father’s death at the hands of Krem of the Yellow Hills. So, unlike Kal-El, who grew up on Earth, the Kara we meet escaped the destruction of Krypton but spent her formative years surviving tragedy in space. Her journey will focus on grief, resilience, vengeance, and self-discovery as she goes on an adventure with Krypto the Superdog. Also starring are Eve Ridley as Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, and David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Supergirl’s parents, Zor-El and Alura.
Supergirl flies into theaters on June 26, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
