Early word from a recent Supergirl test screening suggests the film failed to generate strong enthusiasm, though reactions stopped short of calling it a complete miss. <\/p>\n

According to information shared by Cryptic HD QUALITY on X, the screening produced mixed feedback, with noticeable highs and lows throughout the film.<\/p>\n

Mixed Reactions From Test Audiences<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film reportedly runs around two hours and five minutes, and reactions described it as uneven. <\/p>\n

Some scenes were said to shine far more than others, resulting in a viewing experience that didn\u2019t fully come together. <\/p>\n

While the overall response wasn\u2019t a total disaster, it also wasn\u2019t strong enough to spark excitement, which is rarely a good sign this late in the process.<\/p>\n

\"Supergirl<\/p>\n

Milly Alcock Praised<\/strong><\/p>\n

One consistent positive from the screening was Milly Alcock\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n

Viewers reportedly praised her work as Kara Zor-El, with her acting standing out even when individual scenes or story elements didn\u2019t land. <\/p>\n

That lines up with earlier comments from DC Studios leadership, who have repeatedly highlighted Alcock as a major strength of the film.<\/p>\n

Lobo\u2019s Role <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Momoa\u2019s Lobo is confirmed to appear in two fight sequences, but is not the main villain. <\/p>\n

Despite his presence, the primary antagonist was reportedly underwhelming, a criticism that came up repeatedly in feedback. <\/p>\n

Villain problems<\/p>\n

The lack of a strong villain appears to be one of the film\u2019s biggest weaknesses, limiting the impact of the story\u2019s central conflict.<\/p>\n

Matthias Schoenaerts plays the villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills, whose look in the Supergirl trailer was drastically changed from the comics.<\/p>\n

Concerns Ahead of Release<\/strong><\/p>\n

Test screenings are often used to fine-tune pacing and structure, but muted reactions at this stage raise concerns, especially given DC Studios\u2019 recent struggles. <\/p>\n

With Supergirl already facing online backlash, the studio may be under pressure to address story and tonal issues before release.<\/p>\n

James Gunn\u2019s Superman already landed flat with audiences, making Supergirl\u2019s mixed test screening reactions harder to ignore, especially with Gunn\u2019s future at the DCU in question.<\/p>\n

Supergirl is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 26, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, Supergirl had a test screening. Roughly 2 hours 5 mins. From what I heard, Feedback was not that great but it wasn’t a bad film. Some scenes shined alot more than others. Milly is praised for her acting in the role. Lobo has 2 fights. The villain is underwhelming. https:\/\/t.co\/nBon84s350<\/a><\/p>\n
