In a shocking turn of events, DC Studios is reportedly pitting director Craig Gillespie's cut against their own for the upcoming Supergirl movie, just months before its release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, creative differences have been causing turmoil behind the scenes, with Milly Alcock's solo superhero debut caught in a heated dispute over its direction. The ongoing disagreement has led to test screenings of two different versions – one from Gillespie and another from DC Studios – with the latter receiving aid from Mortal Kombat 2 and Moon Knight writer Jeremy Slater. The exact differences between the cuts are unclear, but sources suggest that Gillespie's version is about 11 minutes longer and focuses more on Matthias Schoenaerts' antagonist, Krem. Fans have been critical of Supergirl since its premiere, with some taking aim at its music choices, particularly the use of a cover of Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle." Despite its lackluster reception so far, Warner Bros. and DC Studios are reportedly preparing for potential losses of over $100 million from the film's theater run. IGN gave Supergirl a mediocre 6/10 review, stating that while it borrows from successful films, Alcock's take on Kara Zor-El gets lost in its spare parts and borrowed storylines. Michael Cripe, a freelance writer for IGN, is covering the development of Supergirl.
