The DC Universe film 'Supergirl' opened in Japan and the United States on June 26, 2026. It debuted at second place in the Japanese box office for the June 26-28 weekend, according to Kogyo Tsushinsha's rankings. The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl, alongside Eve Ridley and Jason Momoa. Matthias Schoenaerts plays the villain Krem, leader of the space gang Brigands. The story follows Kara as she searches for an antidote after her dog Krypto is poisoned by Krem. Craig Gillespie directed the film, and James Gunn produced it.
Warner Bros. positioned the film as a major summer tentpole by releasing it in multiple premium large-format theaters, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX, 4DX, and MX4D, alongside standard 2D screenings. Four poster visuals tailored to each format were unveiled on June 8, along with ten new scene stills. The posters emphasized format-specific features: the IMAX version highlighted scale with a back view of the 'S' emblem, the Dolby Cinema poster showed Supergirl flying against Krypton's three suns, the 4DX version captured a superhero landing pose, and the ScreenX poster depicted Supergirl nonchalantly holding a drink while supporting an armored vehicle amid explosions.
The film also announced a music collaboration with K-pop group LE SSERAFIM. The group's song 'CELEBRATION' was remixed for the movie and released as 'CELEBRATION (Supergirl Ver.)' on streaming platforms. The track, which is the lead single from LE SSERAFIM's second full album 'PUREFLOW pt.1' released on May 22, also appears in the film itself. Members Kim Chae Won and Huh Yun Jin participated in the song's production. A greeting video from LE SSERAFIM members for Japanese fans was released alongside the announcement.
