The upcoming Supergirl film from DC Studios is shaping up to be a lean experience. A new listing from the Irish Film Classification Office has revealed the runtime for the superhero project, which clocks in at 107 minutes and 55 seconds. This puts the film just shy of one hour and 48 minutes, making it one of the shortest entries in the studio’s modern superhero catalog.
Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film draws inspiration from the acclaimed comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The story follows a young alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll who seeks out Supergirl to assist in a mission of revenge after her father is murdered. The film features Milly Alcock in the title role, alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Emily Beechum, and Jason Momoa as Lobo.
While some fans may associate shorter runtimes with a lack of depth, a tighter edit can often lead to a more focused and impactful narrative. Given the creative direction under the new DCU leadership, a concise runtime could suggest a fast-paced, high-stakes adventure that avoids unnecessary bloat. The film is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 26.
Production and Cast Details
The screenplay for the project was written by Ana Nogueira, adapting the work of comic writer Tom King and illustrator Bilquis Evely. In addition to Alcock and Momoa, the cast includes David Krumholtz as Zor-El and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll. The inclusion of Lobo, a character originally absent from the source material’s initial draft, adds an interesting layer to the adaptation that fans are eager to see in action.
