The IMAX poster shows the back of Supergirl's cape with the "S" emblem, emphasizing the format's large-scale framing. The Dolby Cinema version places her against Krypton's three suns, a visual tied to the planet's lore. The 4DX poster captures a "superhero landing" pose with dynamic impact lines. The ScreenX poster shows Supergirl holding a drink in one hand while bracing an armored vehicle under fire, a more casual stance compared to the other formats.
The ten new scene stills released alongside the posters include Supergirl flying at high speed, Lobo riding a motorcycle, and the space gang Brigands led by Krem. Jason Momoa plays Lobo, described as "the universe's most dangerous bounty hunter." Eve Ridley plays Lucy Mary Noal, an alien girl whose family was taken by Krem. Matthias Schoenaerts plays Krem, the Brigands leader.
The story is set after Superman saved Earth. Kara lives quietly with her dog Krypto, but Krem's attack poisons the dog. With three days to find an antidote, Kara sets out across the universe with Lucy and a character named Rob. James Gunn, who directed "Superman," is attached as a producer. Director Craig Gillespie previously directed "I, Tonya" and "Cruella." The film opens simultaneously in Japan and the United States on June 26.
