Supergirl is set to launch a new chapter in the DC universe, shifting its heroine from intergalactic adventures to a more grounded Earth-bound story. The film, starring Milly Alcock, wraps shooting in London and premieres June 26, 2026, paving the way for deeper ties with Superman’s storyline.
Executive producer Lars P. Winther revealed that Supergirl’s ending directly sets up her role in Man of Tomorrow, the next film in the sequence currently filming in Atlanta. "She’s done her wild ways, and now she’s going to try to get back in with her cousin and be more on Earth again," Winther said. "That’s where she is in Man of Tomorrow. It’s all more Earth-based." We’re trying to build our DCU and that Superman family, that’s the main reason we went there. That comic is also based on the Woman of Tomorrow. We love that comic, and we haven’t seen a Supergirl movie in a long time. — Lars P. Winther, Executive Producer
Production momentum continues across continents: Batman 2 began filming in London just over a week ago, while Clayface and the Lanterns TV series are already in motion. Winther confirmed that David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, visited the Trilith Studios set in Atlanta to review the slate — and expressed strong support for the direction. "He’s pretty open to what we’re doing," Winther added. "He’s giving us kind of what we want. So far, everything’s good." With the DCU expanding under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership, Supergirl serves as both a standalone origin and a narrative bridge — one that reconnects Kara Zor-El with her cousin’s world before the next wave of films rolls out in 2027.
