What Supergirl is about

Supergirl is a DC Studios film and a spin-off of 2025's Superman. According to Common Sense Media, Milly Alcock plays Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who reluctantly helps a young alien girl seek revenge against a murderous warlord (Matthias Schoenaerts). It's inspired by the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
