DC Studios "Don't Know" Whether THE FLASH's Sasha Calle Will Star In SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW

DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have admitted that they're currently unsure whether The Flash star Sasha Calle will play the title hero in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Check it out...

The DCU slate is undeniably exciting, though with at least two members of The Suicide Squad cast sticking around - Viola Davis and Sean Gunn - there is some confusion surrounding the inner workings of this new shared universe. 

It's a reboot, but not a full reboot, and while most characters are being recast, others are sticking around. Maybe. We're hoping The Flash offers at least a little clarity and, talking of that movie, it's there that we'll meet Sasha Calle's Supergirl for the first time. 

Warner Bros.' original plan was to replace Henry Cavill's Superman with this Girl of Steel after the Scarlet Speedster tampers with reality, though DC Studios is embarking on its own path for the DCU. That includes a Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie based on writer Tom King's comic book of the same name, but will Calle be given the chance to play the hero there? 

"We're figuring it all out. We don;t know yet," Gunn and Safran said of the actress staying on as Supergirl beyond The Flash movie. "We're pretty far away from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow."

The DC Studios bosses were similarly vague when asked about Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot's respective fates. While they could continue to play Aquaman and Wonder Woman, that only promises to further muddy the waters when it comes to whether the DCU is something new, a continuation of the DCEU with only the actors from the past they want, or something else entirely.

Calle only getting the chance to play Supergirl once would be a shame, but DC Studios may want to head down a classic route with the character for their movie (The Flash's take is heavily inspired by the Injustice comic books). It's also possible they'll want to cast a bigger name as the hero, though Calle may blow up after her DCEU debut this summer. 

Once again, it seems we'll have to wait and see until more about the new DCU is revealed. 

The Flash is set to be released in theaters on June 16.

@McMurdo -


You do know that know that now that Gunn is mapping out the universe a director or writer can't come in and be like: supergirl is gonna be wearing nothing but a bathing suit. She needs to express her body positivity! I'm the creative here! Freedom!!!!!



Nope. Gunn is gonna be the architect 💁

@AmazingFILMporg - Elseworlds babe. Authorship is already on the menu. Plus it sounds like Swamp Thing is gonna set the tone for what can be in the DCU.

@bobevanz - Yup, that's how WB still does things...smh. I wonder what her contract looks like too. Not a bad choice at all, but I feel like if you're gonna cast Kara and make here white/comic accurate (whatever the fanboys call it) then give her the blond hair. I like Grant, but this thing where all blonde comic characters are given the brunette treatment due to metrics and other surely more ridiculous reasons I kinda find comical at this point, no pun intended.

In other words, NO

They are not going to shit on those movies until well after release and money has been made.

I'm hoping her supergirl is good regardless.

@UnderBelly - yeah, it's almost like they don't wanna ruin these characters' future appearances. Same with Aquaman, Flash and Wonder Woman.

@regularmovieguy - While i don't disagree on her attractiveness, she seems to be already getting too high profile to me and starting to do a Doja Cat

@regularmovieguy - So what you're saying is Sasha Calle also has what it take to play Powergirl.

@UnderBelly - Well shit, thanks for making me even more attracted to her.

@FilmGuy7878 - To be fair that's prob one of the worse shots from that night. There a few other's i couldn't find where she actually looks kinda sexy...real talk

@UnderBelly - Well, you've sent me on a quest to find those photos. I wish myself luck.
FilmGuy7878
FilmGuy7878 - 2/2/2023, 11:06 AM
@UnderBelly - Okay hear me out, if she doesn't end up staying as Supergirl, Marvel NEEDS to cast her as either Jean Grey (if they are going with a Ultimate X-Men inspired take) or Dazzler. Both would require her to dye her hair but she could rock a short red or blonde look, for Dazzler, she can for sure sing (listen to her song, X-Factor, it's soooooo goooood) so yeah, Marvel get her on board.

@comicfan100 - You know, that's actually pretty genius if that's the way they want to go with it. That way, we can get Sasha's version as Power Girl while also satisfying the audience that wants a more 'traditional' red-white-and-blonde depiction in Woman of Tomorrow.

I think its gonna be Her and Andy Muschietti returning to direct, if The Flash is as good as it claims to be. Gotta reward the not [frick]ed up elements.

I've been a DC comics fan for 35 years out of 38 years, have literally thousands of DC comics, dozens of statues, and countless action figures and toys from over the decades but this is too much for me. The people making the decisions at WBD are immoral and the creative choices they've made are odd and uninteresting. If we had gotten a full-reboot I'd have been disappointed but understanding and still onboard. Instead we're getting Ezra Miller continuing as The Flash and James Gunn's favorites in every project. As a fan, a father and a man, I can't support this company anymore.

I'll re-post this comment a few times because I think it's important fans speak their voice and (attempt to) be heard, but I don't have the energy for all of WBD and DC's negativity anymore.

@duncboy - I think you need to invest less time, energy and money in corporate products. You'll get burned less by corporate greed.

@duncboy - Define immoral?

In regards to Ezra Miller, The Flash was already filmed prior to him going absolutely psychotic. There is a 0% chance he is returning after this. They are just leaving it up in the air for now to not create any more publicity. This is an easy read through.

Also on your points for James Gunn's favorites, you have zero evidence here outside of casting his wife in Peacemaker, who did a great job.

I do not see the point of negativity here as Gunn and team are pushing forward a fresh restart that looks to be more comic inspired and true to the beloved animated series.
