About this episode

The episode discusses the film Supergirl (2026), its adaptation, performances, and implications for the DC Universe.

Episode 299 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at Supergirl (2026). Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down the second film in DC Studios' new DC Universe, examining Milly Alcock's darker take on Kara Zor-El, the film's adaptation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and how its revenge-driven space adventure differs from the hopeful tone established in Superman. They also discuss the film's long road to the big screen, James Gunn and Peter Safran's creative direction for the new DCU, and behind-the-scenes stories from the production. The conversation covers the performances of Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, Jason Momoa, and David Corenswet, along with the movie's mixed critical reception, disappointing box office performance, and what Supergirl could mean for the future of the franchise. Does this emotionally scarred version of Kara Zor-El offer a compelling new direction for the character, or does the film struggle to balance its cosmic adventure with its darker themes?
