Milly Alcock‘s Kara Zor-El is on a mission to save her superpup, Krypto.
On Tuesday, DC Studios released a new trailer for Supergirl, the upcoming film with Alcock in the leading role after making a cameo in last year’s Superman.
“I was just touching base to see when you think you might be coming back. You know, I’m just worried that you’re not gonna find your stride here if you keep going off-world all the time, Kara. I’m worried you’re not gonna find your people,” David Corenswet’s Clark Kent/Superman says to Kara to open the trailer. She responds: “Yeah, well, that’s the thing, Clark. I have no people.”
She adds, talking to her pet dog, Krypto: “Home is wherever you are, buddy.”
However, Kyroto is then poisoned by villain Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), and Kara is told her superdog only has three days to live. “You cannot give up on me,” she says. Kara is now fighting time to save her companion.
Also seen in the trailer is another look at Jason Momoa‘s Lobo, an anti-hero. The two seem to team up for action-packed sequences.
Here’s the official logline: “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”
In December, The Hollywood Reporter attended a preview party for the first Supergirl trailer in New York City, hosted by DCU co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
The director, Craig Gillespie, who was also there, told the crowd, “This is really an anti-hero story. She’s got a lot of demons, a lot of baggage coming into this, which is very different from where Superman is in his life.”
Gunn added, “So many times female superheroes are so perfect. She’s not that at all. Like male superheroes have been allowed to be for a while.”
Supergirl flies in theaters June 26.
