SUPERGIRL Star Melissa Benoist Welcomes Sasha Calle To The DC Universe; THE FLASH Movie Star Responds

Melissa Benoist plays the Girl of Steel on The CW's Supergirl, and she's now welcomed Sasha Calle (who will play the hero in The Flash movie) to the DC Universe. Check out Calle's response...

On Friday, we learned that Sasha Calle will take on the role of Supergirl in The Flash movie which will take the Scarlet Speedster into the DC Multiverse. This promises to put the actress on the map in a major way, and chances are we'll see Calle continue to play the Girl of Steel for years to come.

The CW's Supergirl series is nearing its end, and Melissa Benoist is seemingly going to move on from the role. While there's a chance she'll make some guest appearances, it feels a lot like Warner Bros. is focusing on Tyler Hoechlin's Man of Steel in Superman & Lois on television, with Calle serving as the big screen Supergirl in her own franchise after this initial introduction.

Now, Benoist has responded to the news, saying in an Instagram story: "This is [100 emoji]. YES girl you CAN fly! Welcome to the DC Universe [Sasha Calle]. Cannot wait to see you as [Supergirl]. The world needs as many Supergirls as it can get."

Calle later responded to that message saying, "Melissa! This means so much. My little brother and I have watched every episode. This was such a sweet moment for us. Thank you."

This is a super cool moment, and one which serves as an awesome passing of the torch. While it would be a shame for Benoist not to continue playing Kara Danvers in some form, it feels like the character is in good hands with Calle, especially as she was chosen from over 400 different actresses. 

We'll hopefully have more to share with you about Calle's role in The Flash soon!

They have opened the DC universe for Melissa to appear in the films. Don't forget Ezra Miller appeared in the Crisis crossover episodes and they have said this could might to Grant Gustin appearing in the films as part of the multiverse.

So does that mean Superman is being recasted as Latino?

@mastakilla39 - she does look like she could be Henry's cousin, some similar features are there.
Also cousins can easily stem from different races.
I'm the whitest shade of white while my cousins are black. Stuff like that isn't rare

@Blergh - exactly. Not that weird both characters, supposedly from the same family, share some similar traits

@Krav - Affleck made it clear that Flashpoint is his goodbye to the DCEU.

@Battabing - not trying to be THAT guy but he did say it before too and he came back , even went to do pickups for ZSJL , altho i think he had a 4 movies contract so he had to come back for flash to avoid legal stuff , but hey you never know .. hope we see him again

Now im just worried the rumors of replacing Batfleck and Cavill with Supergirl and Batgirl are real, bc thats just stupid enough to sound like a thing WB would do. I guess time will tell on that front but im excited to even get a Supergirl for now

@Ha1frican - I can see Supergirl replace Superman, but just like @Krav I think we'll see Keaton replace Affleck first. My hope is then that we're getting a type of Batman Beyond movie that introduces Batgirl instead

@bkmeijer - I dont thin we actually see Keaton in the suit aside form Flash. I think he does end up with him as old man Wayne Batman Beyond mentor to Batgirl if he does come into main continuity
