James Gunn Teases Supergirl Ahead of ‘Superman’ CinemaCon Presentation

James Gunn shares a new behind-the-scenes look at Milly Alcock, who stars as the titular character in the upcoming Supergirl movie. In what is likely no coincidence, Gunn posted the image Monday on social media ahead of the Warner Bros. presentation which takes place Tuesday at CinemaCon.

Expected at WB’s presentation is some sort of promotion for Gunn’s Superman movie and the rest of the DCU. With Gunn teasing Milly Alcock, it could be likely a first look at Milly Alcock in the Supergirl suits drops on Tuesday. We could also learn new details about Lanterns, Peacemaker Season 2, Clayface and more. Speculation offers a new Superman trailer is dropping soon.

David Corenswet also confirmed that a Superman extended preview will be attached to the IMAX screenings of Minecraft this weekend.

The behind-the-scenes image features Milly Alock with the Superman: World of Tomorrow comic from Tom King and Bilquis Evely which serves as inspiration for the film.
