Supergirl trailer Twitter reactions: Netizens say Milly Alcock’s film giving Guardians of the Galaxy vibe; Jason Momoa impresses too!

DC's Supergirl first trailer has dropped, showing Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El in action for the first time since the announcement. The trailer hints that Supergirl mostly focuses on outer space and other planets, compared to James Gunn's latest Superman, which was wholly Earth-bound. The 2-minute video also carries some key moments from the original 'Woman of Tomorrow' comic. Let's check how netizens reacted to the trailer!

Fans react to Supergirl's first trailer

Before Milly Alcock, Supergirl was played by Helen Slater in 1984, Laura Vandervoort from 2007-2011, Melissa Benoist from 2015-2021 and Sasha Calle in 2023. Hence, it's quite challenging for young Alcock to impress fans!

The majority of the netizens showed interest in watching Supergirl in cinemas after checking out the trailer. However, some pointed out that the video gave a kind of Guardians of the Galaxy vibe, which is quite surprising, as the comic book is nowhere close to that. Some even recalled that David Corenswet's Superman also did not reveal much in the trailer, suggesting fans not to make any judgements before Supergirl's release.

Meanwhile, a huge number of fans were excited to watch Jason Momoa as Lobo, and shared their opinion that DC has to heavily rely on Momoa only for the box office success of Supergirl. Some fans exuded hope that Supergirl would do far better than Superman at the box office.

What to expect from Milly Alcock's Supergirl

DC's latest Supergirl claims to present a darker, grittier and more cynical take on the character compared to its previous appearances, even her cousin Superman. Based on the comic novel, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the movie is a cosmic adventure that's focused on trauma, vengeance and finding her own identity as a superhero.

James Gunn once revealed that Supergirl is going to be extremely messy. She's not going to be the clean-cut all-American hero like her cousin Superman; rather, Kara Zor-El is a hard-drinking and hard-partying 23-year-old young lady. She is unapologetic, and did not want to be a hero in the beginning.

Unlike Superman who came to Earth as a baby, Supergirl grew up on Argo City, a part of Krypton that survived for a limited period, hence she witnessed the destruction, the deaths of her loved ones. This has left her tough, skeptical and haunted by the past.

The movie will explicitly highlight the difference between Cark Kent and Kara Zor-El as the trailer itself mentions, “He sees the good in everyone, and I see the truth”, hinting that she's brutal and grounded.

Milly Alcock's Supergirl is releasing in cinemas next year, on June 26, 2026.
