The new DC Universe has begun to take shape in cinema, with Superman (2025) marking the start of this new era under the leadership of James Gunn. The film, which featured David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, positioned itself as a box office success, reaching the tenth place among superhero movies in 2025 with a revenue of $618.7 million. This fact has represented an important milestone for DC, as it was the first time in 16 years that the company surpassed Marvel in box office revenue.
Three Days to Save Krypto
Now, the attention turns to Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie, which will premiere in Spanish cinemas on June 26. The film features a first trailer that has already been released and promises more action and drama within this renewed universe. Milly Alcock plays Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Kal-El, and her story delves into a deeply traumatic experience from her childhood when Krypton was destroyed. Unlike Clark Kent, Kara, who was a teenager at the time, chooses to cope with her pain through a life of excess.
A central element of Supergirl is the connection with her dog Krypto, who has been poisoned by gang members. Kara, with only three days to find the cure and save her loyal companion, embarks on an exciting adventure that links her past with the present.The cast also includes prominent names such as Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa, who reprises his role as Lobo, a character that introduces a new dynamic in the DC universe.
As Supergirl prepares for its premiere, it remains to be seen whether its success can match or surpass the impact of Superman, thus making this new phase of DC a sustainable trend in the world of superhero cinema.
