Melissa Benoist opens up about upcoming ‘Superman’ movies

American actress Melissa Benoist, known for starring as Supergirl on The CW, addresses the new Superman and Supergirl movies in James Gunn’s DC Universe.

As the DCEU and Arrowverse franchises have now wrapped up, DC Studios is buckling up to bring live-action and animation to the big and small screens.

Gunn’s Superman movie for the DCU is releasing in less than a month, and it is expected to expand the franchise.

Moreover, Kara Zor-El will be returning to the cinema in the upcoming Supergirl film in 2026.

David Corenswet and Milly Alcock are confirmed to be the DCU’s Superman and Supergirl. A former Girl of Steel is also joining in on the excitement for the Kryptonian cousins' cinematic future.

Talking in an interview with WatchMojo, Melissa, who is known for playing Supergirl for more than half a decade in the Arrowverse, opened up about her views on the new Superman movie and whether it has been on her radar.

“Yeah, of course I'll support! Once you've donned the glyph,” Melissa said, “you're part of a very small club of people that has worn capes. So it always feels special when any iteration of the story and the canon comes to life, so I will be there to support. Is Milly Alcock supposed to be in this James Gunn [movie]? I don't know... I'm more excited for her telling of Supergirl, but I'm biased!” she laughed in conclusion.

James Gunn’s new Superman movie is set to be released on July 8.
