Supergirl trailer launch live: all of the build-up, news, and rumors before the DCU movie’s teaser is released

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves or, if you want to get a head start on things I’ll discuss later on, check out my dedicated Supergirl guide for more on its cast, story, and potential DCU impact.

For starters, it’s drawn heavily from ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow‘. That’s the comic book series from Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Matheus Lopes that fans and critics alike have raved about since the first of its eight issues was released in June 2021.

I won’t start getting into the finer details of the graphic novel’s plot here because, well, spoilers. However, DC Studios has revealed the movie’s story synopsis. So, if you want a very brief overview of its narrative, here you go: “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”

The latter video, which you can watch above, contains bite-sized clips of the likely extended footage we’ll see in the forthcoming trailer. It certainly gives off an air that it’ll have more attitude than this year’s Superman film but, until the teaser is with us, there’s no telling how much of its story it’ll, well, tease.

Still, I’ve drawn up a wish list of three things I want Supergirl‘s first trailer to contain – and one I don’t. So, check that out if you’re curious to see what my predictions are for it.

So, how are we feeling today? I’m very excited – and, truth be told, I have been since DC Studios released the first albeit brief teaser for Supergirl on Monday and confirmed its first official trailer would drop sometime this week.

We didn’t have to wait long to learn what day it would drop, either. Yesterday (December 10), DC announced Supergirl‘s first trailer would take flight today – i.e. Thursday, December 11. It’ll premiere at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT / 9:30pm IST, too.

For those of you based in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand, you’ll have to get up early tomorrow if you want to watch it soon as it lands. Indeed, the aforementioned 9am PT launch means it’ll arrive at 1am SGT / 4am AEDT / 6am in these nations.
