Each superhero will need to have a supervillain to face off with—these are the foundations!—and it seems like Supergirl, as played by Milly Alcock (Home of the Dragon) within the James Gunn-produced, Craig Gillespie-directed Supergirl movie coming summer season 2026, has discovered her foe. And we all know who’ll be enjoying him: Belgian actor Mattias Schoenaerts, whose many credit embody 2020’s The Old Guard.
This information comes from Deadline; the commerce—pointing to the truth that followers already know Supergirl will draw from the 2022 Tom King-Bilquis Evely comedian collection Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow—provides the doubtless suggestion that Schoenaerts shall be enjoying the identical villain from that comedian: Krem of the Yellow Hills, whose random killing of an alien woman’s father is what attracts Supergirl into his orbit. That, and as the Hollywood Reporter additional references, he shoots arrows at Supergirl and Krypto, injuring “everybody’s favourite superpet.”
As all devoted pet homeowners can perceive, somebody daring to hurt a beloved animal companion robotically triggers what’s generally known as the John Wick reflex, so there’s no higher impetus for bringing Kara Zor-El into the battle. (And as to Krypto’s destiny, with famous canine lover Gunn concerned, it appears totally potential the pooch makes a full restoration—although let’s not neglect not each lovely animal made it out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 unscathed.)
Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow is being scripted by Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries, the upcoming live-action Teen Titans film), with Gillespie (I, Tonya; Cruella) dealing with directing duties. It is going to be the second characteristic within the new Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios period, following Gunn’s Superman, which arrives July 11, 2025. Supergirl, in the meantime, will hit theaters June 26, 2026.
