Early ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Reactions Say It's…Well, Y'know,
We're less than a full week away from Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Marvel's already gone and let early watchers give their thoughts on the film. That's nothing terribly new, save for these thoughts come ahead of the film's Hollywood premiere on Monday night, when they were originally meant to drop. But it's not without reason, as the impressions are quite glowing, even moreso than last weekend's Superman or Thunderbolts* from a few months ago. Check out the impressions from critics and influencers below. #FantasticFour is a story about family above all else, where each member of the team is equally important. No one is underserved; the movie excels when fleshing out the various bonds between Pedro, Vanessa, Ebon, & Joseph. The retro '60s aesthetic works on all fronts. — Andrew J. Salazar (@AndrewJ626) July 19, 2025Fantastic Four friggin' rocks! More than any Marvel movie before it, F4 feels like Jack Kirby's imagination brought to life on the big screen. Between this and Superman, 2025 might go down as the year movies finally embrace the wonderful weirdness of comic books. (1/3) — Chris Killian (@chriskillian) July 19, 2025Many will say THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is fantastic, and they'll be right for several reasons. The four main cast members are excellent, Michael Giacchino's lively score is instantly memorable, and the '60s retro-futuristic production design & dynamic visual effects are a… — Matt Neglia (@NextBestPicture) July 19, 2025I came in tempered but #FantasticFour is truly a return to form for the MCU, the opening minutes blew my socks off in IMAX. Gardner's & Quinn's work stood out to me the most. Galactus gives this film real stakes and his presence is felt even off screen, incredible miniature work! — Brian (@BrianLongFilms) July 19, 2025#FantasticFour is visually stunning, stylish, self-contained, and easy to jump into. I had such a good time with this one. The retrofuturism is such a snack. My stand out is Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm babe I will die for you, you are perfect. — Ash Crossan (@AshCrossan) July 19, 2025Directed by Matt Shakman, First Steps is the first Fantastic Four movie to come out in almost a full decade. From the initial cast reveal to its more recent promos, Marvel's been hyping up this movie as something different from its usual fare. It's not just a period piece set in an alt-universe 1960s, it's also looking like more of a disaster epic as Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Thing (Ebon Moss-Bassrach) and the Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) work together to save their home from the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) and impending Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Like the New Avengers before them, the Four are already locked in for 2026 and 2027's Avengers duology, and it sounds like they've already got a 2028 window locked down for their sequel. We'll see if Fantastic Four: First Steps lives up to these lofty words when it hits theaters next Friday, July 25. Look for io9's review in the coming days. Want more io9 news?

SUPERMAN Spoiler Review
Major spoilers ahead for Superman. You've been warned. * * Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's the next movie version of Superman ! Sigh .. . it always causes so much fandom turmoil whenever beloved superheroes are brought to the screen. Perhaps even more so for Supes, whose last iteration (via Zack Snyder) caused some of the angriest, most toxic fan reaction after its plug was pulled. So is it even possible for James Gunn's version to get a fair shake? Can his version satisfy the fans? Read on to find out. RELATED: 28 Years Later Spoiler Review Superman begins with text that states that the first metahumans (supers) were discovered 300 years ago. Then, 30 years ago, Baby Supes/Kal-El came to Earth in a spaceship from the destroyed planet, Krypton, and landed in Smallville, Kansas. Jonathan and Martha Kent found the ship and adopted Baby Kal. David Corenswet and Krypto the superdog in Superman Then, three years ago, Kal-El came to Metropolis to live as reporter Clark Kent and superhero Superman. Three weeks ago, Supes intervened in a conflict between the fictional countries of Boravia and Jarhanpur, causing a major political mess. Three hours ago, Supes lost his first fight ever against a new villain known as 'The Hammer of Boravia.' Superman/Clark Kent (David Corenswet) lands in the Arctic, beaten and bloodied. Unable to move, he super-whistles, and in a few seconds, Krypto the superdog (complete with cape) shows up, ready to play. Krypto drags Supes by his cape 'home' to the Fortress of Solitude. RELATED: Bring Her Back Spoiler Review Supes' robots (Alan Tudyk, Grace Chan, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff) take him to a chair and place him under a mechanism that exposes him to a concentrated dose of sunlight to heal him. They also play a message from his parents, Jor-El (Bradley Cooper) and Lara (Angela Sarafyan), to soothe him, although the second half of the message is corrupted. Supes then flies back to Metropolis to keep fighting the Hammer, aka Ultraman. Unknown to everyone is that the Hammer actually belongs to genius villain Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). Lex meets with a secret US government agency called ARGUS (Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans), which includes Rick Flag, Sr. (Frank Grillo), one of the founders of the Suicide Squad. ARGUS is furious at Superman's interference on Jarhanpur's behalf because of the US's stance backing Boravia. David Corenswet in Superman Meanwhile, Clark heads to his job at the Daily Planet, where he works with colleagues Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), Steve Lombard (Beck Bennett) and boss Perry White (Wendell Pierce). They all watch reports on Supes' involvement in the conflict, and the Boravian president, Vasil Ghurkos (Zlatko Buric), blasts Supes in a press conference for interfering with his troops. That night, Lois comes home to find Clark in her apartment cooking breakfast for dinner. She knows he's Supes and they've been dating for a while. Lois rags on him for being the only one who gets the 'interviews' with Superman, saying that eventually somebody's gonna figure it out. RELATED: Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Spoiler Review So, Clark agrees to let Lois interview him as Supes. But when she questions his involvement in political situations without consulting the respective governments, and he counters by saying that he saved innocent lives, a heated argument ensues. Lois breaks off the interview and mutters that she knew 'this would never work.' An upset Clark leaves. Meanwhile, Lex and his crew, perpetual selfie-snapping girlfriend Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio), Ultraman and The Engineer (Maria Gabriela de Faria) land in the Arctic. They find the Fortress of Solitude and break in, destroying the robots and dognapping Krypto. The Engineer has blood infused with nanobots (thanks to Lex), and can transform her limbs into anything. Maria Gabriela de Faria, Sara Sampaio, Nicholas Hoult in Superman So she hacks the computer and finds the message from Jor-El and Lara. She says it'll take a while to translate the entire message, and Lex says he's created a distraction to keep Supes busy in Metropolis. The distraction being a little Stitch-type creature that quickly grows to Godzilla size. Supes does his best to talk it down, but then the 'Justice Gang' shows up – that being Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), a rival group of heroes set up by rich guy Max Lord (Sean Gunn). They all fight the monster, and then Mr. Terrific finally kills it by setting off bombs in its stomach. RELATED: Thunderbolts* Spoiler Review While the folks of Metropolis rejoice at being saved, Lex beams out a broadcast from the Fortress. The message from Jor-El and Lara – the entire message – plays for the whole world. Supes finally hears the part he couldn't hear before. Turns out Jor-El and Lara sent baby Kal, a superior being, to conquer and rule the planet. Everyone – especially Supes – is horrified by this. And public opinion turns on him faster than a speeding bullet. Supes retreats to his own apartment, leaving the arrival of a random intergalactic, eyeball-shaped monster for the Justice Gang to deal with. As they clobber the monster outside, Lois meets Supes with some hot cocoa and tries to comfort him. He finally decides to turn himself in to the government, and hugs Lois, telling her he loves her. Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi in Superman When Supes turns himself over to ARGUS, Rick Flag, in turn, gives Supes to Lex, who takes him to a beachfront camp where his Raptor paramilitary force hangs out. Inside one of the tents is a machine that opens a porthole to a pocket universe that Lex uses as a prison for anybody who gets in his way, including ex-girlfriends. Lex puts Supes in a cube with a metahuman called Joe/Metamorpho, who can create any organic substance. Since Joe's baby son, Joey, is being held prisoner in another cube, Lex forces Joe to create Kryptonite to weaken Supes. RELATED: Sinners Spoiler Review Meanwhile, growing tired of Lex's abusive treatment of her, Miss Teschmacher contacts Jimmy Olsen, with whom she's had a fling before. Jimmy doesn't really want to get back together with her ditzy, clingy self, but realizes that she can help them get info on Lex's plans. They meet up, and Jimmy plays nice to get her to keep sending him info. Lois goes to the Hall of Justice to ask the Justice Gang (a name only Guy Gardner likes) for their help finding Supes. Only Mr. Terrific agrees to help, and he takes Lois in his cool little ship to Lex's camp. Meanwhile, Lex brings a civilian, a nice food vendor guy named Mali (Dinesh Thyagarajan) to Supes, threatening him with Russian Roulette if Supes doesn't agree to his wishes. Lex ends up killing the guy, which devastates Supes. Lex leaves, saying he'll just start bringing people Supes cares about. Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet in Superman Metamorpho, moved by Supes' pain, decides to help, as long as Supes agrees to rescue Baby Joey. He creates the closest thing he can to sunlight, which heals Supes enough that he can bust out of the cube. He rescues Baby Joey and Krypto, who have been stuck in an endless loop of chasing squirrels. Supes and Metamorpho fight Lex's goons but get pulled toward the black hole at the center of the pocket universe. Mr. Terrific and Lois arrive at Lex's camp, and there's a really cool scene of Terrific and his T-spheres (not circles, as Lois calls them) kicking Lex's goons' butts while Lois stays shielded in a force-field dome. Then, they find the entrance to the pocket universe, but Terrific warns that opening the portal as many times as Lex has will have catastrophic consequences. RELATED: Final Destination: Bloodlines Spoiler Review They manage to find Supes, Metamorpho, Baby Joey and Krypto and rescue them before the portal collapses. Metamorpho and Baby Joey disappear into the wilderness. Weakened from fighting, Lois has Terrific take them to Smallville, to the Kents' (Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell) house. The next morning, Supes talks with his dad, troubled over knowing what the right thing is to do. Jonathan says that it's Supes' choices that make him who he is, not the message from Jor-El. Jonathan says he couldn't be prouder of him. Finding out that Supes escaped, Lex goes apesh*t, even throwing things at Miss Teschmacher, calling her an idiot. Fed up, she hides in the server room and calls Jimmy, saying she'll send him everything he needs to take Lex down. Ultraman finds her, though, and drags her out. Jimmy's frustrated when all he gets from her are a bunch of selfies. Edi Gathegi, Rachel Brosnahan in Superman He shows them to Lois, who realizes there's important information in the backgrounds of all her selfies. They take the info to Perry, and the whole gang gets into Mr. Terrific's ship to go chasing after Lex. Meanwhile, Lex opens the pocket universe again to imprison Miss Teschmacher and ends up causing a spatial rift that starts ripping Metropolis in half. While that's happening, the Boravian army prepares to invade Jarhanpur, and the poor people of Jarhanpur stand ready to fight even though they're outgunned. Some of the children raise flags with Superman's emblem on them and call out for his help. RELATED: Drop Spoiler Review Terrific tells Supes to handle what's going on in Metropolis first, as the black hole will destroy the city. While he's trying to save as many people as he can, Ultraman enters the fray and starts wailing on Supes, using fight moves programmed by Lex, who reveals that Ultraman is actually a clone of Supes (which is how they were able to get into the Fortress of Solitude). This seems to give Lex the upper hand on Supes, who then super-whistles for Krypto. The dog arrives, and Supes tells him to 'take the toys.' Krypto proceeds to snatch all of Lex's camera drones, which blinds him. Supes then tosses Ultraman into the path of a bus that's flying toward the black hole, and that takes care of that. He also fights and defeats The Engineer, but she remains alive. Meanwhile, up in Terrific's ship, Jimmy types up Lois' story about Lex, and Perry approves it. Jimmy uploads it and releases it to the public, so the whole world learns of Lex's deal with the Boravian president and his designs on becoming king of Jarhanpur. Skyler Gisondo, Rachel Brosnahan in Superman Speaking of Jarhanpur, the Justice Gang comes to the rescue there. Guy and Metamorpho take care of the troops while Hawkgirl flies to the Boravian castle and grabs the president, who sneers that she won't kill him. She laughs – and drops him, letting him fall to his death. Supes busts into Lex's HQ, and Terrific gets into the computer to seal up the rift. Lex tells Supes he engineered the whole Boravia/Jarhanpur conflict to kill him, and how envious he is. That's what it all boils down to. Jealousy. Supes tells Lex he's just as human and imperfect as anyone else. Then, Krypto runs in and gives Lex a thrashing for good measure before he's arrested. RELATED: The Woman in The Yard Spoiler Review Supes finds Lois after the dust settles, and they go off to do an 'interview.' Perry then asks Jimmy how long they've been a thing, and he's like, a while. Supes and Lois do their adorable kissing in midair thing, and she tells him she loves him, too. Aww. Metamorpho ends up joining the Justice Gang when he tells Guy he likes the name. After all the prisoners are freed from Lex's prison, Miss Teschmacher and Jimmy get together. Also aww. Supes returns to the Fortress, where the robots have managed to put themselves back together. Robot #4 asks to have a real name, so he becomes Gary. Supes' cousin, Kara Zor-El/Supergirl (Milly Alcock), shows up, acting drunk. Gary says she's been partying on worlds with red suns, where she can actually get drunk. She sarcastically thanks Supes for looking after Krypto. While Supes recharges under the sun, Gary puts on video footage of his parents to soothe him – footage of the Kents. Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet in Superman And lastly, two mid-credit scenes – one of Supes and Krypto cuddling on the moon, and the other of Supes talking with Terrific. Supes points out that the buildings in the city are all uneven now. Terrific's like, 'Are you kidding me?' He storms off, and Supes is like, 'Oh, man. I can really be a jerk sometimes.' *** There's no official number of versions of Superman in the comics, but it's well over 100. And that's just the comics. When you add in all the movie and TV versions, it's a dizzying number of interpretations. So, considering this, it's safe to say it's pretty much impossible to create the perfect version of Supes who will satisfy everyone. That said, there are some versions that are more beloved than others. One of the most notable being director Richard Donner's version from 1978, starring the late, great Christopher Reeve. Even though it isn't particularly faithful to the comic source material, the flick blew everyone away with its epic storytelling, huge amounts of fun and a Man of Steel that everyone could believe in. I think that's mostly what James Gunn wants to give us with his new version. RELATED: Movie Review: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina While I enjoy and appreciate Gunn's many, many homages to Donner's Superman (which is my personal favorite), I don't think he needs to lean on it quite so much. The score is mostly a riff on John Williams' famous themes, the titles are done pretty much the same way, the Fortress of Solitude is the same ice/crystal castle, the inclusion of Miss Teschmacher (who's admittedly fun), and on and on. It feels more derivative than homage-y, and it really doesn't need to be like that, as Gunn has enough vision to make it entirely his own. I do give Gunn props, though, for balancing so many characters. Usually, when you have that many, the main character fades into the background. But the Justice Gang supported and participated without hogging the spotlight. Although I will say that Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific was such a scene-stealer that I hope we get to see a lot more of him. And Krypto turned out to be a welcome addition instead of just a goofy distraction. Pruitt Taylor Vince, David Corenswet in Superman What disappoints me most, though, is Lex Luthor, who's undoubtedly one of the greatest villain characters ever created. Nicholas Hoult is a terrific actor, so I was really looking forward to his portrayal. On the upside, his Lex is the genius he's supposed to be. He creates pocket universes and has a literal army of trained monkeys handling his social media. But the downside is that that's really all there is to him. He's got nothing else going on except rage and an all-consuming envy of Superman that doesn't make a lot of sense. That's not at all how he should be. Lex should be smooth, savvy and have a personality that charms as it simultaneously chills. RELATED: Movie Review: The Phoenician Scheme I also had a huge issue with the portrayal of Jonathan and Martha Kent. They come off looking and sounding like the biggest, dumbest hillbilly hicks who ever lived. So much so that if I were from Kansas, I'd be insulted. Thankfully, their scenes are few and short. But what's most important to me is Superman. Honestly, I don't really care about the Justice Gang or even Supergirl and all the other metahumans. What matters is that Supes is done right, and David Corenswet does a fantastic job. His Supes gets a lot more hurt – physically and emotionally – than any other version. And he plays the hell out of showing the turmoil he goes through. Despite the flick's flaws, one thing is clear throughout – that Superman fights to champion goodness in a world that doesn't value it. And that's mainly what James Gunn wanted to stress. I think he also wanted to just make it fun, and there's tons to be had. Sure, Superman isn't perfect. However, there's no version that will ever be. I think Gunn's vision is a welcome addition to a hugely diverse canon. The most important thing? I'm excited to see more.

Original 'Superman' actor says character should be used to 'bring back the American way of life'
One of the stars of the first two "Superman" movies, Jack O'Halloran, told Fox13 Tampa Bay on Tuesday that he believes the legendary superhero should be used to help "bring back the American way of life" as he prepared to watch the newest iteration of the franchise. O'Halloran claimed that, if used correctly, the Man of Steel could help bring back "the all-American way." "Having the statement of the all-American way, bringing back the American way of life and that's what needs to happen," he said. "If they use Superman correctly, they can accomplish that." The former actor and professional boxer played the towering villain "Non," appearing briefly in the first "Superman" movie, and eventually emerging as one of the stars of "Superman II." As noted by Bounding Into Comics, O'Halloran's patriotic vision of Superman's role in America may stand in contrast to recent remarks made by James Gunn, the director of the new "Superman" movie, and his brother, Sean Gunn. Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the 2025 superhero film, defended his brother on Monday after the director took heat for insisting his movie was political and that Superman is an immigrant in an interview with The Times. "Superman is the story of America," James Gunn told the U.K. outlet. "An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost." He added, "Obviously, there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them." While on the red carpet, James Gunn's brother Sean defended the director from "MAGA" people — as Variety described them — being critical of his recent pro-immigrant statements. Neither the interviewer, nor Gunn, made any distinction between legal or illegal immigrants. "My reaction to [the backlash] is that it is exactly what the movie is about," Gunn said. "We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don't like that, you're not American." Sean Gunn added that "people who say no to immigrants are against the American way." In similar fashion, MIT professor Junot Diaz said in a guest essay for The New York Times that Superman's "overwhelming all-American power" was disturbing, explaining the paradoxical identities associated with the iconic character as an immigrant. "In fact, I was something of the neighborhood anti-Superman," Diaz wrote in his essay, reflecting on his childhood. "From Day 1, dude just rubbed me the wrong way. There was the obvious stuff, like how goofy Superman was as a hero, how ridiculously dated his star-spangled patriotism was — Supes loved a country I'd never seen. My landfill America was way more supervillain territory," he said.

Fear of a ‘woke' Superman
Larry Tye is author of 'Superman: The High-Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero.' In the new Superman movie out this weekend, our extraterrestrial hero confronts perhaps the most formidable foe of his lifetime: President Donald Trump. One of the Colossus of Krypton's greatest superpowers has always been the ability to adapt to the enemy du jour, and this film is no exception. In 'Superman,' the Man of Steel flies back to his New Deal progressive roots and strikes out at the commander in chief's mean-spirited policies even as he never mentions the president by name.

'Supergirl' 2026: Everything we know about the DCU's take on the Girl of Steel
Supergirl focuses on the titular superhero's journey as she teams up with a young warrior on a mission for revenge. House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock leads the cast, joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, and Jason Momoa. Supergirl is currently slated to debut in theaters on June 26, This article contains spoilers for (2025) The all-new DC Universe (DCU) is flying high thanks to the wildly entertaining animated series Creature Commandos and, of course, James Gunn's long-awaited take on Superman. Against all odds (and plenty of pressure), the latter has already delivered in a big way, earning solid reviews from many critics and fans. While we at Entertainment Weekly found the script lacking, we nevertheless praised the flick for restoring "light, humor, and romance to the DC universe." Before long, it'll be Supergirl's turn to take flight. Milly Alcock debuted as the Girl of Steel in the new film, swooping in to scoop up her dog, Krypto, and demonstrating a palpable disinterest in her super-powered cousin, Superman (David Corenswet). It was a brief appearance, but enough to send fan hype into orbit. With her solo film on the horizon, here's everything we know about Supergirl, from its release date and cast to plot details and beyond. The upcoming Supergirl film is based on the eight-issue comic book miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, created by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. It follows a lost and wandering Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl) at a crossroads. She feels her life lacks purpose, especially since her baby cousin, Kal-El (Clark Kent/Superman), doesn't need her protection and is thriving on his own. Just as she's ready to give up, a young and noble galactic warrior named Ruthye Marye Knoll seeks her help in tracking down those responsible for killing her father and destroying her home. "She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn't help her, she'll do it herself, whatever the cost," reads the comic's official synopsis. "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." In January 2023, DC Studios co-CEO Gunn shared (via The Hollywood Reporter) that this version of Supergirl is darker and more complex. "We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth," he said, adding, "She is much more hardcore and not the Supergirl we're used to." Supergirl soars into theaters on June 26, 2026, a little less than a year following Superman's theatrical release. House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock will step into the boots of the title character in Supergirl. After her casting was announced, Gunn shared on Threads that Alcock perfectly captured the vision of the character as imagined by King, Evely, and screenwriter Ana Nogueira. In a separate post, Gunn said he recommended her for the role to DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran over a year before her official casting, writing that he believed she could bring the "edge, grace, and authenticity" needed for this version of Supergirl. Alcock has kept details about the film and her role under wraps, joking that she "doesn't want to get sued." But in a May interview with Elle Australia, she admitted feeling "absolute fear" when Gunn told her she'd landed the part. "I was kind of in disbelief. I was initially like, 'What have I done?'" she told the outlet before describing the screen test process, which was new territory for her. "During a screen test, you're in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you're all dressed as the character," she explained. "[The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage. For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it's just fear! That's what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear." The Supergirl cast also features Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) as Ruthye Marye Knoll and Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills. In January 2025, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) and Emily Beecham (Into the Badlands) costar as Supergirl's parents, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, respectively. Jason Momoa is set to make a cameo as Lobo, the alien mercenary and bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia. In a 2023 interview with Fandango, Momoa revealed that Lobo has always been his favorite character, saying he "always wanted to play Lobo because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role.'" He added that if DC ever called him to play Lobo, he would jump at the chance — and now, he finally is. Momoa reiterated his love for the character in a March interview with EW: "I just think I'm the right person to play the role." He continued, "If we're going to typecast me in anything, let's put me in Lobo. Motorcycles, smoking cigars, partying, dreadlocks… loves a fight, funny." And of course, no Supergirl story would be complete without the scene-stealing, super-powered dog Krypto. As of now, there's no official word on whether Corenswet will suit up again as the Man of Steel in Supergirl. We wouldn't be surprised, however, if the actor popped in for a cameo, just like Supergirl did in Superman. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
