Milly Alcock returns as Kara Zor-El in the new "Supergirl" film, opening in theaters on Friday, June 26. Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, the movie is described as a departure from gritty realism, embracing a more brightly-lit humor.
The film follows Alcock's Supergirl as she celebrates her 23rd birthday and becomes embroiled in a revenge quest after meeting Ruthye Marye Knoll, portrayed by Eve Ridley. The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa.
While "Supergirl" is currently exclusively available in theaters, it is expected to arrive on streaming platforms later this year. As a Warner Bros. production, the film will eventually stream on HBO Max, the company's owned streaming service. It is not expected to be available on Netflix.
Fans can anticipate the movie's digital release for purchase or rent potentially around August 2026, following a pattern similar to other Warner Bros. theatrical releases. A streaming debut on HBO Max is tentatively projected for September 2026, though the exact timeline for Warner Bros. home releases has varied previously.
For those eager to see "Supergirl" immediately, catching it in theaters remains the primary option. HBO Max offers subscriptions starting at $10.99 per month with ads, while an ad-free plan costs $18.49 per month. Annual plans are currently available with a discount of up to 40%, bringing the cost down to approximately $78.99 per year. Discounted bundles that include HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu are also available, priced at $19.99 per month with ads and $32.99 per month without ads.
