Supergirl Test Screening Reactions Are Mixed, Reports Say

The first trailer for Supergirl received mixed reactions from fans. Now, reports from a recent test screening suggest the movie may not fully meet everyone’s expectations.

According to movie scooper Daniel Richtman, the test screening happened earlier this week, and he said he has “heard nothing but good things” from several people who saw it. At first glance, this sounds like great news for DC Studios — but there is another side to the story.

Supergirl Test Screening Reactions Are Mixed, Reports Say

Not Everyone Heard Positive Feedback

Another well-known insider, @Cryptic4KQual, shared a different opinion about the same screening. According to them, the movie is not terrible, but it also isn’t amazing.

They reported:

  • The movie is about 2 hours and 5 minutes long

  • Some scenes are strong, while others feel weak

  • Milly Alcock is praised for her performance as Supergirl

  • Lobo has two fight scenes

  • The main villain feels underwhelming

Because of these mixed reactions, fans are unsure what to expect from the final movie.

Test Screenings Can Be Misleading

It’s important to remember that test screening reactions are often unreliable. Different viewers can have very different opinions.

This already happened with Superman, which also had mixed early reactions but later received solid reviews and performed well at the box office. So these early reports do not necessarily decide Supergirl’s fate.

Can Supergirl Be a Big Win for the DCU?

Superman was the first major test for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU plan. While it performed well, it did not fully meet all expectations.

Now, Supergirl faces even more pressure. The character has only had one solo movie before — Supergirl (1984) — which was a box-office failure. That movie earned just $14 million from a $35 million budget.

The new Supergirl movie has a much bigger budget, meaning it will need strong box-office numbers to be considered a success.

A Very Different Movie From Superman

James Gunn is not directing Supergirl, but early comparisons suggest the movie may feel closer to Guardians of the Galaxy in tone. That could be a good thing, as Gunn’s Guardians films turned lesser-known characters into major hits.

Whether this different style helps or hurts Supergirl will become clear when the movie releases next summer.

What’s Next?

More official details about Supergirl are expected in early 2026. Until then, fans should take test screening reactions lightly and wait for trailers, reviews, and audience response.
