Supergirl has made another last-minute creative change just three months before the movie is supposed to be released.
DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Supergirl arrives in United States theaters this June. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the DCU movie sees Milly Alcock reprise her role as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl after she briefly appeared at the end of 2025’s Superman, which was directed by James Gunn.
What is the creative change to Supergirl?
Originally, Game of Thrones’ Ramin Djawadi was tapped as the composer for Supergirl. Then, last month, it was widely reported that Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL, had replaced Djawadi.
Now, the official Supergirl website states that Claudia Sarne is the composer for the movie. Sarne has previously worked on movies such as 2010’s The Book of Eli, 2013’s Broken City, 2016’s Triple 9, 2018’s Corazón, 2019’s Earthquake Bird, 2024’s Lost in the Jungle, and 2025’s Love+War, while her work in television includes Outcast, The Defiant Ones, Black Mirror, and more.
The reason for the creative shake-up is unclear at this time. Having said that, it likely doesn’t have to be a cause for concern for DC fans. John Murphy was originally announced as the composer for Superman, but it was then revealed in April 2025 — three months before that movie came out — that David Fleming had also contributed to some of the music, as he ultimately shared credit for the score with Murphy.
The synopsis for Supergirl reads, “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”
Co-starring 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 Jason Momoa as Lobo, Supergirl will be released on June 26, 2026.
