Supergirl Movie Artwork Features Star Wars Alien by Mistake

DC Comics has accidentally included a Star Wars character in official artwork for the upcoming Supergirl movie. The $119.95 metal print features Lexo Sooger, an alien from The Last Jedi deleted scenes, alongside Kara Zor-El and other DCU characters.

What's the mistake in the Supergirl artwork?

The Supergirl movie metal print, illustrated by Brazilian comic book artist Bilquis Evely, shows what appears to be official character artwork. However, sharp-eyed fans spotted a hulking, long-necked alien that's unmistakably Lexo Sooger from Star Wars: The Last Jedi's deleted scenes.

The character originally appeared as a bathhouse masseur in the Canto Bight casino sequence that was cut from the final film. Somehow, this distinctly Star Wars alien ended up in official DCU promotional material.

How did a Star Wars character end up in DC artwork?

According to fan analysis, the error likely stems from visual similarity between characters. Supergirl does feature a hulking, long-necked alien character, and both the DC and Star Wars creatures wear flowing robes with large gold necklaces.

This suggests Evely may have used incorrect reference material — either sourced by herself or provided by DC Comics. The physical similarities between the species could easily lead to such a mix-up during the artwork creation process.

With Star Wars and DC properties being widely covered, reference images can sometimes get confused between franchises.

What we know about the Supergirl movie

The 2026 Supergirl film follows last year's Superman in the new DCU timeline. Milly Alcock returns as Kara Zor-El, with Jason Momoa appearing as Lobo and Mattias Schoenaerts as villain Krem of the Yellow Hills.

The plot sees Kara, driven to drink by her homeworld's destruction, fighting to save Krypto the Superdog from poison. The movie arrives in cinemas on 29 June 2026, though UAE release dates haven't been confirmed yet.

DC Comics and artist haven't commented yet

Neither Bilquis Evely nor DC Comics have addressed the artwork error. The metal print remains available on the DC Comics Shop for $119.95, though it's unclear how long this will continue.

The mistake has generated significant buzz across both DC and Star Wars fan communities. Sometimes these promotional errors become collector's items themselves, though that's probably not what DC was aiming for with this particular piece.

Where to get the Supergirl metal print

The Supergirl movie metal print is available now through the DC Comics Shop for $119.95. UAE pricing and local availability haven't been announced yet. Given the attention this error has received, it might be worth checking if the artwork gets corrected or becomes an accidental collector's piece.
