Summary

  • Supergirl will make her debut in James Gunn’s Superman alongside David Corenswet.
  • The star’s cameo will likely be brief, as Gunn has confirmed the film focuses on Clark, Lois, and Lex.
  • Introducing new characters with cameo roles is common in superhero franchises, building anticipation for their solo movies.

In a forthcoming movie by James Gunn, it is revealed that Superman will be joined by another superhero who has already made an appearance within the DC Universe’s extended cinematic universe (DC ECU), as some fans have speculated based on the trailer.

In the upcoming “Superman” film, David Corenswet steps into the role as the iconic superhero, marking a fresh start for the franchise. Earlier discussions had centered on Henry Cavill reprising his Superman role in another movie. However, these plans were abandoned due to Gunn and Safran having a different vision for the franchise. It’s also anticipated that Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Ben Affleck as Batman will be replaced. While Robert Pattinson’s Batman is not connected to this universe, there are rumors of a new superhero from the former DCEU being introduced in the upcoming “Superman” movie.

When the trailer for “Superman” came out, some viewers thought they spotted “Supergirl”. They claimed to have seen a woman’s reflection in a metallic robot’s head, which was Kelex, the caretaker of the Fortress of Solitude. This has fueled speculation that Milly Alcock’s “Supergirl” would make an appearance in “Superman”. Recent reports now confirm this to be true. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alcock was cast as Supergirl nearly a year ago and will debut in Gunn’s “Superman” movie. It remains uncertain whether the figure on Kelex’s head is actually Supergirl, but it is certain that Superman’s cousin will appear alongside him in the upcoming superhero film.

There was much excitement among fans that Supergirl would be featured in the upcoming Superman film. However, some online viewers were not surprised since it had been announced last year that Alcock had been cast for the role. They hypothesized that her casting was done early so she could film alongside Corenswet. Regardless of whether Alcock will appear in the movie, spectators should not anticipate a significant part as she is likely only making a brief appearance. As Gunn stated during an Instagram Live interview, the main focus of the film revolves around Clark, Lois, and Lex, with the story primarily centered on these three characters.

The first appearance of Supergirl within the Superman series is certainly exciting, though perhaps expected considering recent speculations about the upcoming film. This confirmation has brought a sense of relief as numerous rumors have circulated. Fans are already thrilled at the prospect of watching Alcock embody Supergirl in the Superman universe. However, it’s important to note that Alcock’s screen time is likely limited due to the film not primarily focusing on her character. She will make a brief appearance on screen for just a few minutes, with this approach being common when introducing new characters within established films or franchises through cameo roles.

In a similar fashion, Gal Gadot made her first appearance as Wonder Woman in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). Prior to this, she filmed several scenes portraying Diana Prince. However, it was only during the climactic battle against Doomsday that she unveiled herself as Wonder Woman, leaving a lasting impact on viewers. Despite having limited screen time for just 7 minutes, her performance sparked excitement for her standalone movie Wonder Woman, which was released a year later. Critics praised Gadot’s portrayal of the character, and her debut was undeniably successful. In the same vein, Alcock’s brief appearance as Supergirl could generate similar anticipation, considering her solo movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is scheduled for release next year. Therefore, it’s safe to say that audiences will eagerly await Alcock’s portrayal of Supergirl when they head to the cinemas to watch Superman.

Superman will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
