One aspect of the newly released Supergirl trailer is dividing DC fans.

DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Supergirl arrives in United States theaters this summer. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the movie will see Milly Alcock reprise her DCU role as Kara Zor-El after she briefly appeared at the end of 2025’s Superman, which was directed by James Gunn. Jason Momoa also stars as Lobo.

What aspect of the Supergirl trailer is dividing fans?

While there seems to be tons of general excitement for Supergirl following the recent trailer release, there is one element that has fans divided: the color grading. Some aren’t a fan of the brown and yellow color palette that’s on display in the trailer, while others don’t mind it and think the visual look of the film has improved since the first footage was released.

View some reactions below:

I’m still not sold on the look of this. Like where’d the color go? Why’s it all brown and sandy? Why does the production design look like GOTG3? ?Idk maybe I’ll change my tune when the movie comes out https://t.co/YfPOzTgtgW— Lucy ?‍ literally Supergirl (@lego_2005) March 31, 2026

This looks fun but man I hope this brown and yellow colour palette doesn’t last most of the movieI’m optimistic that they’re saving some of the other colourful planets for the actual film https://t.co/5nwW0RTioJ— Drew (@GoodNightDrew) March 31, 2026

Looks ok.Don’t quite care for the color grading, but I’m sure it will be better by release. pic.twitter.com/yVmqbu2S9o— Matt Jarbo (@mjarbo) March 31, 2026

NGL, this looks better than the first trailer, I love the visuals, I hope they add more color in the future— Jakes (@Meezy_Boi) March 31, 2026

SUPERGIRL trailer dropped.Superman + Supergirl having that color grading of looking like it’s coming out of a comic book is what makes the entire movie better. You don’t need a movie to look dull and depressing to always share a story of someone’s story that’s depressing— movies (@simplypokers) March 31, 2026

I like the story being presented here, but what is with the color grading. Why is so much of it so…. brown. Unless it’s meant to show Kara’s monotony and denial of the future due to the trauma of actually seeing Krypton’s destruction and losing her family as a teenager https://t.co/HNGrWeMNLk— BlackJack (@BlackJack_casts) March 31, 2026

I’m really not vibing with the art direction on this one… ?Where is the color and fantasy/medieval aesthetic from the comic book??? ? https://t.co/d8dPYdGV9m pic.twitter.com/o36DpXct7j— Oku | Gloxinia (@OnsKun) March 31, 2026

She looks great but for the love of God give her proper lighting I’m begging you. The color correction and overall look of the film is hideous. #Supergirl https://t.co/irUFM6vxHq— Nathanael Reyes (@NatReyes96) March 31, 2026

Imagine if they kept the more blue-ish color grading from the first trailer, the complete contrast in blue and yellow between the two https://t.co/zE6aS5ACsM— Superman (@Fabio_JRogue) March 31, 2026

They fixed the color grade. fairs. https://t.co/9mC1w7ANNQ— Ovie (@ovie_tag) March 31, 2026

In addition to Momoa and Alcock, the cast of Supergirl includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Ferdinand Kingsley as Elias Knoll.

The movie is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic. The solicitation for the first issue reads, “Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but finds her life without meaning or purpose. Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was sent to Earth to protect a baby cousin who ended up not needing her. What was it all for? Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame. Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission. Her world has been destroyed, and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost. Now a Kryptonian, a dog, and an angry, heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core.”

Supergirl will be released on June 26, 2026.
