FULL STORY ======================================================================James Gunn has dropped a big hint about Supergirl 's age rating The DC Studios co-CEO indicated that "everyone" will be able to see it Gunn's comment suggests it'll have a similar rating to Superman

James Gunn had dropped the biggest hint yet over Supergirl 's age rating
and, if you were expecting it to a mature movie, you'll be disappointed.

Speaking as part of a roundtable attended by TechRadar to promote Peacemaker season 2 , Gunn heavily implied that the Milly Alcock-starring DC Universe ( DCU ) film won't be as age-restricted as some viewers might have expected. Instead, Gunn indicated that it'll fall within the same bracket as Gunn's Superman movie , which carried a PG-13 rating in the US and a 12A classification in the UK.

As part of a wider answer about how each DCU Chapter One project's age rating is determined, especially in a shared cinematic world where characters from R-rated productions could appear in more family-oriented ones and vice versa, Gunn replied: "I think it's exciting to be able to tell different stories for different groups of people.

"So, you know, Superman was for everyone. Peacemaker is for an adult
audience. Supergirl will be for everyone. We have the Krypto shorts [included on Superman 's forthcoming physical release] that are for children. Then, we have Clayface , which is an R-rated horror film. So, I really like the idea
of telling truly different tales within a singular universe." Have you seen #Superman in theaters yet? pic.twitter.com/p4s60RWBXd August 9, 2025

Supergirl , which was known as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow until Gunn confirmed its shorter title in June , will be the next DCU film that flies into theaters. Supergirl 's official release date was confirmed in June 2024
, and it'll make its global theatrical debut on June 26, 2026.

We haven't had to wait for our first glimpse of Alcock in Gunn and Peter Safran's new-look DC comic-book universe, either. In January, the movie's first image showed Alcock's Kara Zor-El in a place that'll be very familiar
to DC comic fans . Then, after teasing that Superman would include characters Gunn hadn't publicly revealed yet, one of the DCU film's final scenes
included a crowd-pleasing cameo from Alcock's Kryptonian and that 30-second teaser was all I needed to have full confidence in the DCU's Supergirl movie
.

Following Kara's all-too-brief appearance in her cousin's latest big-screen adventure, Supergirl 's first poster revealed a near-full first look at her superhero costume , and put a rebellious spin on Superman 's 'Look up' tagline. If you were expecting her to be a squeaky clean as Clark
Kent/Kal-El, you're sorely mistaken.
