A new Supergirl trailer is here, and it's a surprisingly emotional look at Kara Zor-El's mission to save her adorable dog Krypto.
In the trailer, which you can watch above, the sweet pup is poisoned, and Kara only has three days to save him. Complicating matters is Eve Ridley's Ruthye, a young girl whose parents were murdered by the poisoner. Check it out above.
The trailer comes after James Gunn unveiled a short teaser featuring the return of Superman, who is calling his cousin asking when she might come back (a moment that opens the full trailer). Kara, however, just turns up the volume on her iPod. This is a fitting crossover, considering Milly Alcock's Kara debuted in last year's Superman in a cameo at the end of the film, crash-landing in the Fortress of Solitude to pick up Krypto.
The new film, which arrives as part of DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, will also explore Kara's origins.
"We do really thoroughly investigate Argo [the city where Supergirl was born] and Krypton," director Craig Gillespie has revealed. "It's so fundamental to who she is as a person and what she goes through in her formative years there. It makes you understand why she is where she is with her personality and the self-destructive nature that she has as we meet her at the beginning of the film."
Supergirl arrives this June 26. In the meantime, get up to speed on everything else the DCU has in store with our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and shows.
