Is the 2026 supergirl movie part of the dcu?

The 2026 Supergirl movie, directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, is officially the second film in the DC Universe (DCU). It follows the story of Kara Zor‑El, who travels across the galaxy to confront an enemy that has harmed her pet dog Krypto. The film is produced by Peter Safran and James Gunn of DC Studios, and it was announced as part of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in August 2018 before being rebranded under the broader DCU umbrella. The project also features a cast that includes Milly Alcock in the title role, along with Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa. Because it is explicitly described as the second film in the DCU, it is considered a continuation of the overarching DC cinematic continuity.
