The wait is almost over for the eagerly anticipated Superman reboot, and James Gunn has given fans a sneak peek into the film’s production. A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) features an unseen set photo of David Corenswet, who plays Superman, alongside Milly Alcock, who portrays Supergirl.
The Story About Supergirl
As the DCU’s Supergirl, Milly Alcock’s character has a tumultuous background, unlike her cousin Superman’s idyllic upbringing. Gunn described Supergirl as ‘a mess’ and ‘a total mess,’ highlighting the complexities of her character.
This is not the first time Gunn has shared behind-the-scenes content from the Superman set. In March 2025, he posted an image of Milly Alcock holding the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic on X. The post celebrated Supergirl and her various incarnations, with Gunn expressing his excitement for the June 2026 release.
Final Thoughts
The Superman reboot is part of the DCU’s Gods and Monsters chapter, directed by Craig Gillespie. Fans got their first glimpse of Supergirl in the post-credits scene of the Superman movie, where she returns to Earth to reclaim Krypto, her dog. With James Gunn’s latest set photo, the anticipation for Superman’s release is palpable.
