For anyone unaware, this is based on Tom King & Biliquis Evely's 2022 Supergirl comic SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW, a singularly brilliant story that boils down to - Kara Zor-El watches her world perish, her family and friends and life die, and she cannot deal with the trauma. This is coupled with the fact that the baby she was sent to look after (Superman) is already grown up, does not need her, and is super famous already... It sends her into a spiral of alcoholism and self abuse...this culminates in an adventure with an alien girl whose world is also destroyed who wants revenge. It's almost entirely a space/alien adventure, and yeah the look of it is right down to the brown trenchcoat and snarky attitude. This looks like it was ripped right from those pages.
TL;DR: Think TRUE GRIT, in space.

FUCK. YES. This just jumped to the literal tippy top of my anticipated 2026 flicks. Leaning hard into the 90's video game camp, bright costumes, garish sets, accurate character looks, and an almost Enter the Dragon vibe for the tournament. This was never going to work as a straightforward movie...but leaning into the camp, absolutely. Also, it's literally a period piece set in 1993. Chefs kiss.
Honestly, if all the fight choreography is good, this has a shot at being SOOOOOO good. That shot of Ryu roll-flipping the guy towards Ken who then kicks him through a wall? That shit would not be out of place in a Wuxia epic.
Also I want this to kick off a new Martial Arts film renaissance...
