It’s almost time. The first trailer for good girl It should be ready this week, and if it’s not ready yet, I can’t wait for it to be published.
Since the DC Universe (DCU) movie was adapted or at least heavily inspired by the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow graphic novel series, those of us who have read the movie know what to expect. good girl. Therefore, this upcoming trailer is unlikely to hold any major surprises for fans of the graphic novel series.
However, there are a few things that the DCU Chapter One movie’s opening trailer should include to further whet our appetites. Here are three things I want to see in this trailer and one thing I don’t want to see.
1. A better idea than Milly Alcock’s portrayal of Kara Zor-El
Ever since Milly Alcock won the race to play Supergirl in the DCU, I’ve been curious to see how she’ll tackle one of DC Comics’ most complicated characters.
We take a look at this iteration of the character in 2025. Superman Cinema. But when Alcock’s surprise appearance begins Superman This was all I needed to have full confidence. good girlThe next time she appeared in a film, it was only a brief glimpse of her.
Given that most viewers have not read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, some have taken issue with her portrayal of a hard-drinking party girl. Some even said it was yet another outdated example of how superhero/female characters have been portrayed in movies over the decades.
But the reality is that this is only one aspect of how Kara is portrayed in Woman of Tomorrow. Without going into the details of this comic, he is a multi-faceted character who is not only as selfless as his Kryptonian cousin, but also more interesting due to his traumatic past and evil personality.
Despite his youth, Alcock has proven that he has the screen presence and acting talent to play fascinating, multi-dimensional characters. The dragon house, mermaidsAND Good These are just three examples that demonstrate this. So while I wait good girlThe first trailer for Woman of Tomorrow is packed with rebellious undertones, exciting action, gripping melodrama and beautiful science fiction visuals. I also hope this gives us a better idea of Alcock’s take on the titular hero.
2. Show us Jason Momoa’s wolf
We know that Jason Momoa, who played Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU), will achieve his longtime goal of playing Lobo in a live-action DC project after being cast as DC’s favorite mercenary. good girl. (You can learn more about this character and any others that will appear in my good girl Actors and Character Guides).
However, it is unclear exactly how he will fit into the story. After all, Lobo was originally supposed to play a small but important role in Woman of Tomorrow, as writer Tom King confirmed during a chat with Woman of Tomorrow in February 2023. series magazine.com. But Lobo was dropped after editors Brittany Holzherr and Jamie Rich King asked to remove him from the script.
Since Lobo will star in one of the most exciting new movies of 2026, how will he be involved? good girlhistory? And how might its inclusion change the graphic novel’s narrative?
DCU co-director James Gunn said in June that Lobo would play a pivotal role, adding: “(Supergirl:) Woman of Tomorrow… is a series of smaller stories and we needed to create a more traditional three-act follow-up story. So Lobo is helping us do that.”
I’d be surprised how Lobo fits into this. good girlis the slightly revised story of this trailer. However, it would be nice to see Momoa in the classic Lobo costume and traditional albino bounty hunter look.
3. Give us an overview of the history…
The current events of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” are not complicated. I won’t describe it here: those of you who want to know more should read the action part of my book. good girl Guide.
While I don’t expect the trailer to delve too deeply into plot details, it would be a good idea to give people an idea of what to expect. Of course, a teaser doesn’t have to reveal anything substantial about a film’s plot. SupermanThe first trailer really wasn’t there when it aired last December.
Another feature film from DC Studios This Based on a specific graphic novel. So unless Gunn and co. I don’t want people to dig into the story and discover major spoilers (more on that later). It would be better to include some plot details in the trailer.
4. …but avoid spoilers
Let me start by saying that the chance of this happening is very slim. good girlThe trailer will contain major story spoilers.
However, there are some incredibly revealing moments early in Woman of Tomorrow. In fact, one of the main talking points of the literary work (don’t worry, I’m not saying it’s here) occurs in chapters 1 and 2 of the eight-part series.
Thanks to the magical process known as editing, this storyline and other major storylines from the superhero movie’s first trailer can easily be avoided. However, it’s in Gunn and company’s best interest to hold off on the comic book franchise’s biggest surprises until the movie hits theaters. There will be plenty of room for discussion. good girlis the official teaser for the coming days and weeks where we see the first images of the film without spoilers about the story. So don’t destroy them prematurely.
