This June, sci-fi comic book movie, Supergirl soars into cinemas. The fantasy from director Craig Gillespie, stars Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa, and David Corenswet, and follows the titular hero on an intergalactic adventure.
Describing the new movie, Warner Bros. said: “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”
Following hot on the heels of 2025’s Superman, Supergirl is sure to be a big hit when it hits cinema screens this summer. The teaser trailer has gone down well with comic book fans, as has the inclusion of fan-favourite character, Lobo, and the film is already attracting some buzz.
But when Supergirl does land on the big screen will it be a movie for everyone? Put simply: Is Supergirl suitable for a family?
Let’s take a look at the rating…
—
Supergirl UK rating
In the UK, Supergirl has been certified ‘12A’ by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The film has received this rating for “moderate violence, threat (and) language.”
In terms of the violence, the BBFC notes: “Fantastical fight sequences feature punches, kicks, head slams and characters being dragged along the ground at high speed. People also stab and slash others with bladed weapons, though minimal injury detail is seen.”
In the UK, if a movie is given a ‘12A’ certificate it means the film is deemed most suitable for audiences aged 12 or over. However, children below the age of 12 can watch a ‘12A’ in a UK cinema, as long as they are accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
Based on the rating, the BBFC believe Supergirl is most suited for audiences aged 12 and over, but the organisation does recognise that some children below this age will be OK with the content of the movie. Parental discretion is advised.
So, if you are a parent and you have children below the age of 12, you can watch Supergirl as a family at a UK cinema. You may just want to check up on some of the content before attending your screening.
And if you’re unsure what ‘12A’ movies are like, it might help you to know that many comic book movies are rated ‘12A’, including the recent Superman movie. If all the members of your family are fine with the content of that movie, they should be OK with Supergirl.

Supergirl US rating
In the US, Supergirl has been rated ‘PG-13’ by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPA). The film has received this rating for sequences of strong violence, action, language, and smoking.
In the US, if a movie is rated ‘PG-13’ it means some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Parents are urged to be cautious.
However, the rating is for guidance only. Any one of any age can watch a ‘PG-13’ at a US cinema.
As such, if you are a parent and you want to take your children to watch Supergirl, you can. Just take into account the advice from the MPA and act accordingly.
Back in 2025, Superman was rated ‘PG-13’, so if you want to check what sort of tone and content Supergirl may have, watching Superman could help. It’s also worth noting that most Marvel movies of recent years, such as The Avengers films or the Spider-Man movies are rated ‘PG-13’, so if your children are fine with those movies then they should be OK with Supergirl.
