Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film sees Kara Zor-El on a vengeance mission, introducing Jason Momoa as Lobo, and features David Corenswet's Superman. A contributing factor to the film's potential underperformance is star Milly Alcock's recent controversial comments. She likened anticipated online backlash to past experiences, criticizing certain audience members and drawing comparisons to Rachel Zegler's prior controversies, which some fear could impact the June 26 release.
