Supergirl officially premiered in Brooklyn at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music,) bringing together cast, filmmakers, executives, media, and fans for a first look at the newest DC Studios film.

Overall, the evening blended red carpet arrivals, screening reactions, and an immersive after-party experience. To begin with, Milly Alcock led the carpet as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. She was joined by Eve Ridley, David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and filmmaker Debra Granik. In addition, additional cast and creatives arrived throughout the evening. Meanwhile, fans lined the carpet and reacted to each arrival.

On the carpet, we spoke with members of the cast and creative team. First, Lars Winther, EVP of Global Publicity, described the film as a more “rock and roll” take on Supergirl. He also joked that this version of the hero does not have her “shit together.” Next, screenwriter Ana Nogueira shared that she frequently returned to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow during writing. She also said Milly Alcock was the perfect fit from the start. Finally, Eve Ridley explained that her character’s journey is driven by love for her family. As a result, that emotional core anchors the story.

Following the carpet, guests attended the screening of Supergirl. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film adapts the DC comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. In turn, the story follows Kara Zor-El and Ruthye Marye Knoll. Together, they travel on an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Importantly, both characters drive separate but connected arcs. Ultimately, the film balances large-scale action with grief, identity, and resilience.

Throughout the screening, audience reactions remained strong. For example, action sequences triggered visible excitement. At the same time, quieter moments also landed with impact. In particular, Jason Momoa’s appearance as Lobo generated one of the loudest reactions of the night. Additionally, Eve Ridley’s Ruthye resonated strongly throughout the film. Likewise, Krypto, Kara’s dog, emerged as a standout presence. Moreover, music played a key role in shaping the experience. Notably, Blondie’s “Call Me” appeared during a standout sequence. In addition, Debbie Harry’s presence at the premiere amplified the moment.

At its core, the film explores loss, family, and identity. Initially, Kara’s journey begins in grief. Then, she moves through trauma and struggle. However, the narrative gradually shifts toward resilience and self-discovery. Ultimately, hope remains central throughout.

After the screening, guests traveled to Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse. From there, the night transitioned into an immersive after-party experience. Upon arrival, a DJ performed from a central platform. Immediately, energy filled the transformed space.

In addition, brand activations were placed throughout the warehouse. A Supergirl-branded Waymo offered a photo moment. Nearby, a hat-making station provided custom pieces. Meanwhile, Ulta Beauty delivered glam touch-ups. Throughout the space, cosplayers interacted with guests and posed for photos.

At the same time, food and beverage stations were spread across the venue. KFC, Pinkberry, and Cold Stone Creamery each served themed items. In addition, guests enjoyed extra bites and specialty drinks throughout the night.

Further inside, a hidden speakeasy added another layer to the experience. There, live performers recreated moments inspired by the film. In contrast, another room recreated Supergirl’s lived-in spacecraft. As a result, guests stepped into a detailed cinematic environment. Ultimately, it became one of the most talked-about installations.

Overall, the premiere delivered a strong launch for Supergirl. The event combined star power, storytelling, and immersive design. In conclusion, it offered an early look at the scale and tone of the film ahead of its June 26 release.
