Did You Know?
Supergirl’s soundtrack rocks the galaxy with punk anthems, jazz lounge vibes, and a controversial Jimmy Eat World cover
James Gunn’s 2026 Supergirl isn’t just a space‑faring revenge saga – it’s a musical rollercoaster that mirrors Kara Zor‑El’s chaotic, party‑ready vibe. From the moment Krypto spins Sleigh Bells’ “This Summer” on a battered record player, the film drops listeners into a curated mix of iconic female songwriters, underrated indie punk, and classic rock, all underscored by Claudia Sarne’s soaring orchestral score.
The soundtrack doubles as a narrative guide: a sultry “Le Temps De L’Amour” drifts through an alien bar as Kara downs flaming shots, Wet Leg’s “Catch These Fists” triggers a mirror‑ball entrance, and Wolf Alice’s “Smile” fuels a frantic brawl with space pirates. Even a jazzy rendition of “Girl From Ipanema” and Ella Fitzgerald’s “Cheek To Cheek” play while Supergirl fights off bar patrons, proving the film’s music swings from lounge cool to full‑throttle combat.
James Gunn and the cast went a step further, assembling an official Spotify playlist that includes extra tracks chosen for each character, complete with video intros from Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley and Jason Momoa. The most talked‑about selection is Kelty Greye’s acoustic cover of Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle,” which erupts during the climactic showdown with the Brigands. Fans argue the gentle folk vibe clashes with the dark, horror‑tinged stakes of the battle, sparking a lively debate about tone and emotional payoff.
Beyond the curated hits, Sarne’s score weaves a lush, heroic thread through the chaos, and the entire soundtrack – both the compiled songs and the original score – is now available on all major streaming platforms, giving listeners a chance to relive Kara’s interstellar odyssey long after the credits roll.
The ‘Krypto’ scene isn’t a glitch at all – the film actually tells you why Supergirl can’t save him on the fly
Supergirl hit theaters in June 2026 as the DCU’s newest entry, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor‑El and directed by Craig Gillespie. Despite a star‑studded cast and a $170‑$186 million budget, the movie stumbled at the box office, pulling in just $126.4 million and earning a middling 53 % on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans who missed it in theaters can now stream the film on HBO Max and decide for themselves whether the flop reputation holds up.
One of the most debated moments involves Kara’s loyal dog, Krypto, who is poisoned by Krem of the Yellow Hills. The film makes it clear through dialogue that Krypto has only three days to live and that whisking him to a yellow‑sun planet would actually kill him faster than waiting for the antidote. Supergirl even suggests the yellow‑sun rescue, only to be told by the local doctor that his injuries are too severe for such a quick fix. This explicit explanation quashes the supposed plot hole.
The movie also tweaks the source material from Tom King’s *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*. In the comics, Kara lies to the young girl Ruthye about her motives, using Krypto’s condition as a cover to stop Ruthye from making a tragic choice. The film streamlines that deception, focusing instead on the race against time to retrieve the cure. These changes highlight how the screenplay balances comic homage with cinematic pacing, even if the box office didn’t reflect the effort.
Supergirl and Lanterns seize HBO Max’s top spots, marking a DC streaming first
Supergirl surged to the No. 1 movie slot on HBO Max worldwide after its September 10 streaming debut, racking up 557 ranking points and eclipsing competitors across North America, Latin America, Europe and Australia. The Milly Alcock‑led film, which earned $126.4 million in theaters, has proved that the character’s appeal endures well beyond the box‑office run.
At the same time, James Gunn’s Lanterns dominates the platform’s television chart, buoyed by a weekly release cadence that keeps fans hooked. The fifth episode, "Lights Out," secured a 9.1 IMDb rating – the highest for any modern DCU episode – and helped the series stay atop the TV rankings.
The twin triumph gives DC Studios an unprecedented hold on both major HBO Max charts, a rare streaming milestone that underscores the studio’s measured strategy of focusing on fewer, high‑impact DC projects. With Lanterns and Supergirl leading the pack, the DCU’s cross‑format momentum appears stronger than ever.
Milly Alcock’s Supergirl soars with a dark, revenge‑driven twist—only to crash at the box office.
After the bright, tongue‑in‑cheek reboot of Superman, Warner Bros. turned its sights to the galaxy‑far‑away cousin of the Man of Steel. Milly Alcock, fresh from House of the Dragon, steps into the cape as Kara Zor‑El in Craig Gillespie’s new take, drawing inspiration from Tom King’s *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* comics. The film launches Kara’s 21st‑birthday odyssey across the stars with her trusty dog Krypto, where a chance encounter with a grieving young woman pulls her into a murderous quest for vengeance, probing the heroine’s darker pre‑Earth origins.
The movie leans into heavy‑handed themes of trauma, healing, and the cost of kindness, all wrapped in a PG‑13 rating that surprised critics with its mature undertones. Alcock’s “rough‑around‑the‑edges” performance earned universal praise, and the supporting roster—Jason Momoa as the mercenary Lobo, Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, and David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Kara’s parents—added star power. Yet the ambitious $170‑186 million production fell short, pulling in just $125.9‑$126.4 million worldwide and leaving Warner Bros. with an estimated $100 million loss.
Critics were lukewarm, giving the film a 56 % Rotten Tomatoes score for uneven pacing and a muddled narrative, but fans rallied behind it, boosting the audience rating to 77 %. The disparity highlights how Supergirl’s gritty storytelling resonated with viewers even as it struggled to find its footing in the broader market.
From box‑office flop to HBO Max’s top‑streamed movie, Supergirl finally finds its fans
Supergirl’s theatrical run was a disappointment, pulling in just $126.4 million against a $170 million production budget and a $120 million marketing spend. Yet a month after its September debut on HBO Max, the space‑faring superhero adventure has surged to the No. 1 spot on the streaming service worldwide, according to FlixPatrol. The turnaround shows the film has finally connected with an audience that eluded it in cinemas.
Critics were harsh, giving the movie a “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes and lambasting its aesthetic and script. Audiences, however, responded more kindly, appreciating the messy but likable origin story of Kara Zor‑El. CBR’s review highlighted the film’s core theme of daring to hope amid loss, praising its emotional honesty despite its flaws.
Directed by Craig Gillespie from a script by Ana Nogueira—adapted from Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow—the film stars Milly Alcock as the titular hero, with Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and a returning David Corenswet as Superman. Notably, James Gunn clashed with Gillespie over the final cut, with Gunn’s version ultimately released in theaters and now streaming.
DC Studios co‑CEO Peter Safran remains upbeat, framing Supergirl’s box‑office miss as just one piece of a broader, long‑term strategy. While the film reportedly lost about $100 million, Safran told the New York Times that the studio’s confidence in its future remains unshaken, hinting that the streaming success could help offset the theatrical shortfall.
Milly Alcock’s Instagram purge ignites fresh Supergirl exit rumors
After Supergirl’s disappointing box‑office run – $126 million worldwide against a $170 million budget – fans have been scouring Milly Alcock’s Instagram for clues. The actress has scrubbed nearly every post related to the film, including the original casting announcement from January 2024, and has remained silent to the flood of questions in the comments.
The sudden clean‑up has sparked speculation that Alcock may have fallen out with DC Studios, especially since co‑CEO Peter Safran’s recent comments framed the film as just one piece of a broader DC strategy. Yet no official source has confirmed any turmoil, and Alcock continues to follow the official accounts for James Gunn and the Supergirl movie, leaving open the possibility that the purge was simply a cosmetic refresh.
Adding another layer to the mystery, Alcock is slated to reprise her role in the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, set for a July 2027 release. If she were truly out of the DCU, her scenes could be excised before the film’s debut, but the studio has yet to comment, keeping the rumor mill turning.
Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, landed a middling 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and now streams on HBO Max. While the film missed expectations, Safran emphasized that it won’t derail DC’s long‑term plans, leaving fans to wonder whether Alcock’s Instagram overhaul is a strategic move or merely a personal aesthetic choice.
Supergirl may have flopped, but it’s a hidden gem worth a second look
Supergirl stumbled at the box office, pulling in just $126 million against a roughly $186 million budget, and its mixed reviews cited rushed storytelling and awkward needle drops. Yet the film offers more than its commercial numbers suggest.
Front‑and‑center is Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor‑El, whose performance carries the movie’s strongest moments. She balances the character’s dark personal struggles with a budding mentorship of Ruthye, delivering a nuanced take that hints at a promising future in the DC universe. Jason Momoa’s Lobo also shines, reveling in the role with a palpable sense of fun.
Visually, the Krypton origin scenes provide an emotionally satisfying backdrop, while the action set pieces deliver the kinetic thrills fans crave. Alcock’s chemistry with David Corenswet’s Superman adds another layer of appeal, making the on‑screen dynamic one of the film’s brighter spots. Though it didn’t meet expectations, Supergirl proves to be a more enjoyable and underrated entry than many give it credit for.
Milly Alcock’s ‘messy’ Supergirl split fans and sparked a DCU identity crisis
James Gunn hand‑picked Milly Alcock after spotting her as young Rhaenyra in *House of the Dragon*, hoping she could bring cynicism and grief to Kara Zor‑El without the usual inspirational gloss. Her first glimpse arrived in a post‑credits scene of the 2025 *Superman* film, where a visibly wrecked Kara awakens, setting a tone that would define Craig Gillespie’s June 2026 solo outing.
The movie leans on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s *Woman of Tomorrow* run, portraying Kara as a trauma‑scarred, revenge‑driven cousin who drinks, swears, and resists the hero template. Early marketing highlighted her trench coat, Blondie‑era soundtrack, and a Kryptonese exchange with a more earnest Clark, while a young companion, Ruthye (Eve Ridley), and veteran stars Matthias Schoenaerts and Jason Momoa expand the story beyond Metropolis.
Critics consistently singled out Alcock as the film’s strongest element, praising her blend of charm and volatility even as overall scores hovered at 52 % for critics and 72 % for audiences. The split became a social media flashpoint: some lauded a “selfish, grieving” Supergirl, while others decried the departure from the hopeful icon they grew up with. The $126 million worldwide take against a $170 million budget intensified the debate, with discussions ranging from superhero fatigue to the extra scrutiny female‑led, anti‑hero projects face.
James Gunn has already dismissed rumors that Alcock’s role would shrink in the 2027 sequel *Man of Tomorrow*, confirming Kara remains central. As the DCU experiments with tonal variety—Superman earnest, Supergirl gritty—the performance has become a litmus test for whether a “messy” female hero can sustain both critical praise and audience appetite in future installments.
James Gunn’s silent snub: Why Supergirl vanished from his farewell
The fallout from the Paramount‑Skydance/Warner Bros. Discovery mega‑merger has already reshaped DC Studios, and James Gunn’s recent exit statement added another twist. While Gunn highlighted hits like Superman, Clayface and the upcoming Man of Tomorrow, his own Supergirl—starring Milly Alcock—was the sole feature he didn’t mention, a conspicuous omission that fans are reading as a subtle jab.
Supergirl’s theatrical run was a disaster: a $170 million production budget (plus roughly $120 million in marketing) earned just under $127 million worldwide, cementing its reputation as one of the biggest comic‑book flops. Critics were split, and the film quickly earned the dubious honor of “biggest bomb” in the genre, even as it later found a more forgiving audience on HBO Max.
The silence may be more than an oversight. Rumors of on‑set friction with director Craig Gillespie have swirled, and Alcock herself scrubbed nearly all Supergirl‑related posts from her socials weeks after the release, fueling speculation of a backstage rift. Whether Gunn’s omission was a deliberate shade or a simple mistake, it underscores how the film’s poor performance may have contributed to the leadership shake‑up that saw both Gunn and Peter Safran exit DC Studios.
Now streaming on HBO Max, Supergirl enjoys a second life, but the missing mention in Gunn’s farewell has left fans wondering if the film will ever be fully reclaimed as a proud part of the DCU canon.
