And just like that, Gen Z is adding Blondie to their playlists.
DC Studios and Warner Bros. have released the first teaser trailer for Supergirl (2026), the upcoming film starring Milly Alcock as Supergirl/Kara Zor-El and directed by Craig Gillespie, based on the 2021-22 DC Comics limited series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow that was written by Tom King with art by Bilquis Evely.
In the film, Kara Zor-El, better known as Supergirl, celebrates her 23rd birthday by travelling across the galaxy with her dog Krypto. Along the way, she meets the young Ruthye Marye Knoll and encounters a tragedy that leads her on a "murderous quest for revenge".
The two-minute trailer opens with Krypto knocking over a half-empty bottle of liquor, which turns on a record player that starts playing the 1980 song "Call Me" by Blondie. Krypto comes across a copy of the Daily Planet, which has the main headline "Superman Saves Town from Nuclear Reactor Explosion" with another smaller headline below that reads "Supergirl Rescues Cats." Krypto then proceeds to urinate on the newspaper's picture of David Corenswet's Superman from Superman (2025). Kara, apparently waking up from a hangover, remarks, "You managed to get most of it on the paper this time. Good job, buddy."
As "Call Me" kicks in harder, a sort of space bus lands at a bus stop where Kara, wearing a long coat and dark sunglasses, is waiting. "Hi...Kara Zor-El," she says in a voiceover. "Year-wide is clear, and 23 will be the best year yet." As she celebrates her 23rd birthday drinking and dancing in a bar on an alien planet, presumably under a red sun, we learn she's talking to Krypto. She adds, "Let's be honest, babe. It's not a very high bar to clear."
Next, we see a large energy dome come down over a section of a city, which could be the Kryptonian city of Kandor, teasing the upcoming appearance of Brainiac in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. We're introduced to Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who tells Kara, "I didn't know any of you were still alive. What was it like to lose everything in a day?"
Kara replies, "Krypton didn't die in a day. The gods are not that kind."
Later, as Kara and Ruthye find themselves surrounded by dozens of mercenaries aiming their laser-sighted weapons at them, who presumably belong to the film's villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills. Kara remarks, "Okay, this does not look like this is gonna end well...for you guys."
After a few glimpses of action, Ruthye asks Supergirl, "Do others on your planet have powers like you?"
"Uh...no, it's a pretty small group of two," replies Supergirl.
We see Kara using her heat vision to protect Ruthye, followed by Kara petting an injured Krypto with concern. A brief glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo is shown, just starting to step into view.
In the teaser trailer's final scene, Ruthye then asks Kara about Superman and as we see Supergirl taking on Krem's mercenaries, she replies, "He sees the good in everyone...and I see the truth."
