Though Superman’s (technically) older cousin Kara Zor-El (Millie Alcock) was kind of a mess when we first met her, she’s trying to pull it together in Supergirl’s new trailer. The last daughter of Krypton needs her wits about her in order to help Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) — an young alien girl who’s looking for justice after her father is murdered by deep space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts).
This first look opens with Supergirl celebrating her 23rd birthday, before getting pulled into some action that looks very Guardians of the Galaxy. She also neatly sets up the difference between her and her cousin. “He sees the good in everyone,” she says of Superman. “And I see the truth.” And yes, the dog makes an appearance.
