DC Studios rebooted its cinematic universe with last year's well-received Superman, which followed a string of underperforming movies based on the comic company's collection of heroes and villains. Supergirl, out this week and starring House of Dragon actress Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa and British teenager Eve Ridley, is the second big release set in the rejigged universe. Peter Safran, who runs DC Studios alongside director James Gunn, told BBC Newsbeat the new direction was an attempt to "get back on track".
