Supergirl is flying into theaters, and DC fans have plenty of reason to rejoice. The spinoff from 2025’s Superman follows Kara (Milly Alcock), Clark Kent’s cousin from Krypton, as she pub-crawls across the cosmos.
Her plans for devil-may-care merriment are disrupted, however, when she crosses paths with an orphaned girl named Ruthye (Eve Ridley) on a quest for vengeance. Whether Supergirl likes it or not, she can’t help but be the hero — and the role model — Ruthye needs. And along the way, she’ll run into fiends and foes, including the outrageous bounty hunter Lobo (Jason Momoa). But above all, she offers a lesson that seems to fly in the face of her chipper cousin: Don’t be nice. Be kind.
When Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko sat down in virtual interviews with Alcock, Momoa, and Supergirl screenwriter Ana Nogueira, they dug into what exactly that means. What’s so bad about being nice? And what distinguishes being kind and being nice? And where does Lobo fit into this? You better believe Momoa and company had thoughts.
Supergirl opens in theaters on June 26.
