Despite being more than six months away from its release, the upcoming DC film “Supergirl” has already begun its test screenings to gauge audience reactions. According to insider Daniel Richtman, who reported the news, the screenings took place recently, and he has received positive feedback from several attendees.
However, not all reviews are entirely glowing. A more nuanced take from a trailer leaker known as @Cryptic4KQual indicates that while “Supergirl,” with a runtime of approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes, is not a bad film, the overall feedback was mixed. The insider noted that while some scenes stood out, there were areas that did not resonate as strongly. Milly Alcock, who plays the lead role, received praise for her performance. Additionally, the film features the character Lobo, who engages in two fight scenes, but the villain was described as underwhelming.
It’s worth noting that previous DC films, including “Superman,” also faced similar mixed reviews during their test screenings, suggesting that initial reactions might change as the final edits are completed. The feedback from these screenings can help filmmakers refine the movie to better cater to audience expectations.
As anticipation builds for “Supergirl,” set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, many fans share an eagerness to see how Alcock’s portrayal will unfold on the big screen, following the favorable reception of her character in “Superman.” With time in their favor, the creative team has the opportunity to enhance the film before its official debut.
