Milly made a cameo as Supergirl in the Superman film near the end.

This film, based on the comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, presents a darker and more intense Supergirl than fans are used to.

According to Variety, in his first presentation of the DC Studios slate with co-chief Peter Safran, Gunn shared that "she is not exactly the Supergirl we're used to seeing."

She is joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, who stars as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills; Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, the girl who recruits Supergirl to bring Krem to justice; and David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's parents.

Fans will also see Jason Momoa as the alien mercenary Lobo and the much-loved Krypto the Superdog.

Why always dark and gritty versions? Can't we have colorful, uplifting superhero movies anymore? Our kids deserve better role models than brooding characters 😔

Jason Momoa as Lobo! That's the real news here 🔥 The man was born to play that role. Hope they give him proper screen time unlike his wasted potential in other DC movies.

Interesting choice to go with a darker tone. I just hope they don't lose the essence of what makes Supergirl special - her compassion and resilience. The Indian audience connects more with emotional depth than just action.

2026 is too far away yaar! By then we'll have 10 more Indian superhero movies releasing. Our own Brahmāstra 2 will probably come first 😂

Respectfully disagree with the criticism - a complex female superhero is exactly what we need! After Wonder Woman, it's time for another strong woman lead. Hope they do justice to the character 🤞
