Rating: 4.5/5 Kryptonian Legacy

After her breakout role in House of the Dragon, Milly Alcock steps into the cape as Supergirl in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a film that redefines what a Kryptonian can be. Jason Momoa co-stars as Lobo, the foul-mouthed bounty hunter, and the result is one of the most unexpected and delightful superhero films in years.

The film adapts Tom King’s acclaimed comic series. Kara Zor-El (Alcock) is not her cousin Kal-El. She’s seen her planet die, lost everyone she loved, and spent years alone in space before landing on Earth. When a young alien girl hires her to find the mercenary who killed her father, Kara crosses paths with Lobo (Momoa), the last Czarnian, who’s also hunting the same target. They form an uneasy alliance across the galaxy.

Alcock is a revelation. She brings a raw, angry vulnerability to Kara—a hero who doesn’t want to be a hero, who’s tired of loss. Momoa is having the time of his life as Lobo, chewing scenery and delivering profanity-laced one-liners. The visual style is stunning, with cosmic landscapes and a color palette that pops. The relationship between Kara and Lobo—grudging respect wrapped in insults—is the heart of the film.

The Verdict: A stunning, emotional, and surprisingly funny superhero film. Alcock is Supergirl. Momoa is Lobo. Together, they’re magic.

Final Thought: Hope is not a gift. It’s a choice. And Kara chooses.
