Supergirl hits screens in exactly one month, and to mark the milestone, studio Warner Bros has released a new promo teasing a major Superman moment from the new DCU movie.
In the new 15-second TV spot, which you can watch below, we appear to see the moment when Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) meets her Kryptonian cousin, Kal-El (David Corenswet), for the first time after arriving on Earth. Cradling adorable puppy Krypto in her arms, and wearing a funky spacesuit, Supes pops the top off the Kryptonian capsule that Kara presumably uses to flee their dying home planet.

Pretty neat, huh? But that's not all. A new TBS sneak peek has also revealed another key Superman moment (hopefully they've saved some for the actual movie…). In this one, we see Kal-El hand Kara her familiar red and blue suit. "I know it's pretty colorful," Superman says. "But that's just so everyone knows we're good." A corny line? Sure, but perfectly in keeping with the DCU's take on Superman.
Superman's appearance in Supergirl was confirmed back in December by none other than Supergirl star Alcock, who revealed that her first day on set was opposite David Corenswet, for a scene almost entirely in Kryptonian. Supergirl, of course, is the second movie in James Gunn's DCU, following last summer's Superman, and sees party girl Kara Zor-El on a mission to save a gravely ill Krypto.
Recently, Gunn confirmed what we all suspected: that Supergirl will take place after she retrieves Krypto from Kal-El during the events of Superman, but before Man of Tomorrow. We also learned from DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran that Supergirl will officially return in that Superman sort-of-sequel, alongside Aaron Pierre's Green Lantern John Stewart and Andor's Adria Arjona, who may be playing Maxima.
Supergirl kicks off a big year for DCU: Chapter One, with HBO's Lanterns, and horror feature Clayface to follow in 2026. Next year is the main event, however, with both Man of Tomorrow and Elseworlds title The Batman 2 set to release.
Supergirl releases in theaters on June 26. For more, check our list of all the upcoming DC movies, or check out our guide on how to watch the DC movies in order.
