Complete spoilers continue immediately by 2025 Superman movie.
Superman He is doing more than simply making us believe that a man can fly.
With a route of more than $ 200 million at the global box office on the opening weekend, plus the acclaimed critic and commercial he receives, James Gunn’s Superman The film has made us believe in DC comic films again. The first DC Universe (DCU) film discovers how to see DC movies in order while you are here, also gave us a tremendously entertaining, surprising and sincere story full of family names and unknown characters equally.
It is also where I think Superman It is better successful. From Mister Ferrific and The Engineer, the film of chapter one of DCU stands out to numerous little -appreciated DC comics characters that deserve their time to shine in the restarted film franchise of Gunn and Peter Sarfran. However, it is another metahuman, one that will be recognizable for some spectators, but not for others, than Superman It really does well, even though it is only in camera for 30 seconds or so: Supergirl.
She only walks briefly, but the Supergirl of Milly Alcock, the real name Kara Zor-el, is all that she wanted from a live action adaptation of the Superman’s cousin.
I am not launching Meg Donnelly, who was one of the final contenders for the role of Supergirl before losing Alcock in January 2024, saying that. I am sure that Donnelly would have been a great Supergirl, but there is something about the time of Alcock, although energetic on the screen, that captures the rebel and reckless side of Clark Kent/Kal-the relative that we have really seen in the comics.
Take it to the wrong part of the strength of loneliness because it is drunk (yes, it is slightly drunk, but it is not an alcoholic or a girl of fraternity, since some have incorrectly belittled Gunn and Company) and then blaming Supes for moving the door in an apparent redesign of its secret headquarters. Or, how about his lack of concern about how Kal-el or what he has been doing, and just returning to Earth to pick up his disobedient Krypto pet?
Then there is the enjoyment of the one who gets when launched by Krypto, far from how Supes handled similar situations throughout the film. Ah, and let’s not forget that it is humoristicly rude with Clark, he calls him “B *** H” after thanking him sarcastically for his Krypto care, before flying to an unknown whereabouts.
Combine the above with its authentic Supergirl disguise, in addition to the beige coat that uses in ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’, the eight -numbers comics series that its next solo film is strongly inspired, and Alcock Kara could be the most formed version of the characters we have seen so far. In fact, it combines the above with the strong sense of justice and the affectionate nature that it has shown in previous reimaginations of the large and small screen, they make me even safer than those involved in Supergirlist He will take it out of the park.
Of course, it is difficult to read too much on the Alcock cameo and determine if you can wear a tentpole movie.
Supergirl: Tomorrow’swhose title was recently shortened SupergirlistNot only will it be the first independent film of Kriptonian in more than 40 years, but it is also the first film that Alcock is the main star. The pressure is certainly on, then, to ensure that Alcock was the right choice for the paper, and that Gunn and Safran made the right call to prioritize a Supergirl film about a DCU movie by Batman or Wonder Woman Wonder, which are in early development.
DCU has had a good start with SupermanBut you will need other projects such as Supergirlist, Pacifier Season 2, Flashlightsand Clayface To perform good performance. If they do, it will be worth investing in the DCU. Yes, for any reason, Supergirlist struggles, however, we could have a post-Avengers: Final of the game The situation that has seen Marvel fans have a Love One project, but does not like the next.
Despite those two little worries, I’m sure Supergirlist It will be a great success and Alcock’s performance will be a great reason. She has already commanded the screen in season 1 of Dragon HouseWhile his natural and unquestionable talent has been on display in the HBO Max program mentioned and recently Netflix TV Sirens. So, there is no reason why Alcock cannot offer an equally fantastic exhibition in the next film departure from Steel’s girl. In any case, your lonely scene in Superman confirms that he will.
Supergirlist Vuele to cinemas around the world on June 26, 2026. For more information about one of the new most anticipated films next year, read my definitive guide on the next departure from Supergirl’s big screen.
