Milly Alcock's Supergirl: Can It Out-Earn Aquaman?

Milly Alcock is stepping into the spotlight as Supergirl, with her solo film slated for release on June 26. The movie is generating significant pre-release buzz, leading to speculation about its box office performance, particularly whether it can exceed the $1.15 billion worldwide gross of Jason Momoa's Aquaman. Aquaman, released in 2018, remains the highest-grossing film in the DCEU.

For Supergirl to surpass Aquaman's financial success, it would need to achieve a global haul of $1.2 billion. This ambitious goal is supported by high audience curiosity for the new DC Universe and Alcock's rising popularity. Notably, Jason Momoa will feature in Supergirl, but in the role of Lobo, distinct from his Aquaman character.

Despite positive expectations, Supergirl's projected box office earnings are realistically anticipated to fall between $500 million and $800 million. Aquaman's success was bolstered by its release during a peak era for superhero films, strong international performance, especially in China, and Momoa's star power. Surpassing Aquaman's record is considered a very ambitious target for the upcoming Supergirl film.
