THR reports that Supergirl’s rocky release stemmed from creative clashes between director Craig Gillespie and James Gunn, plus post-production tweaks and two competing cuts; Warner Bros. released Gunn’s version after a test that favored it overall, while Gillespie’s longer cut wasn’t re-tested. The result contributed to a disappointing opening, and DC Studios is adjusting its slate with projects like Clayface and Man of Tomorrow, while Gunn’s influence persists through spin-offs such as DC Crime and Mr. Terrific.
DC Studios’ behind‑the‑scenes bakeoff between Craig Gillespie’s cut and the studio version for Supergirl yielded middling test scores and a narrow studio win, but the film opened to about $37.1 million and underperformed, prompting post‑production tweaks and music disputes, while Gunn and Safran’s broader DC strategy faces renewed scrutiny yet remains in place.

Warner Bros. releases it June 26.
