Supergirl has officially arrived in UK cinemas – and in true superhero movie fashion, will you need to stay in your seats for a post-credit scene? Hot off the heels of her cameo in 2025’s Superman, Milly Alcock has returned as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl for her own feature film.
The film follow’s Supergirl on one hell of a 23rd birthday around the galaxy, however, she finds herself getting involved with Ruthye Marye Knoll’s (Eve Ridley) quest for revenge against Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts) for killing her family.
Coming in at roughly 108 minutes and cementing itself as the DCU’s shortest-ever films, Supergirl got some pretty positive first reactions as “the best blockbuster of the summer”, with a lot of praise being directed at the House of the Dragon’s star’s performance. While there won’t be any spoilers here, does the film contain a post-credit scenes like so many superhero films before it?

Sadly, there is no mid or post-credit scene, so you can feel free to leave the cinema when the credits roll. Instead, Alcock’s return to the role in the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, is cemented in the film’s final scene when she reunites with cousin Clark Kent (David Corenswet) back on Earth.
And her role in Man of Tomorrow is said to be a very important one, as DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran told The Hollywood Reporter that following Supergirl’s conclusion, Kara’s “wild ways” will be a thing of the past.
“Without giving too much away, this movie ends a particular way, and you see where she’s going to end up. She’s done her wild ways, and now she’s going to try to get back in with her cousin and be more on Earth again. That’s where she is in ‘Man of Tomorrow,’” he said.
“It’s all more Earth-based. So we have ‘Man of Tomorrow,’ and we already know what the next movie’s going to be after that, and she’s a big part of that.”

The reviews for Supergirl have been mixed, with The Guardian giving it 3 stars, writing: “Supergirl isn’t a perfect movie by any means, but there are moments when you’ll believe this franchise can fly.”
Meanwhile, Empire described it as “blandly safe”, and Digital Spy’s three-star review called it “enjoyable enough” as a result of Alcock’s performance which stops it “completely crashing to Earth”.
