In a big casting process, DC found an actress for Supergirl in the cinema universe. Over 425 actresses are said to have auditioned at digital meetings via Zoom before a decision was made.
Sasha Calle becomes a supergirl
This ended up falling on Sasha Calle. In the USA, the actress is known for the daily soap “The Young And The Restless”, where she has played a cook and business owner since 2018. This also earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2020.
For Calle, the part as Supergirl is the first ever film role. Another premiere: The American with Colombian ancestry will also be the first DC Supergirl version with Latin American roots.
Here is a picture of the actress from her Instagram page:
The casting was directed by DC film boss Walter Hamada and director Andy Muschietti (“ES”), as he will direct the character’s first appearance. Calle will make her debut in the upcoming “The Flash” movie alongside Ezra Miller (as the title character) and Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton (as two different versions of Batman).
Muschietti then also stated in a statement that in Calle they had found an actress who was simply destined for this role. The filmmaker posted a video on Instagram how he surprised the actress with the news that she had the role and had a little fun with her. Calle reacts confused at first before they overwhelm her emotions:
Big plans for Supergirl
Warner hopes the actress will now have a great career as a supergirl. As a comparison, “Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot is already mentioned, who despite a small role in the “Fast & Furious” franchise was still relatively unknown when she first brought Zack Snyder on board for “Batman V Superman”. With “Wonder Woman 1984” her second solo film has just finally been released in Germany.
