Yesterday, reports did the rounds that former Superman actor Henry Cavill had seen The Flash, and spoken to Supergirl actress Sasha Calle about taking on the role of the Girl of Steel.

Now, Calle has shared some details of their conversation, revealing that Cavill gave her his full support.

Though Calle is obviously playing a different character, she is, for all intents and purposes, taking over from Superman for this movie, and the actress wanted to ensure that she had the Man of Steel's blessing.

"Yes, I met him," she tells EW. "I met him actually after the movie was done, months later. I gave him a big hug. You know, it's Henry Cavill, man! Our Man of Steel. He is kind and very proper, and it was a great experience."

"I asked him, 'Did I make you proud, cuz? Does Superman approve?'" she continues. "And he was like, 'Absolutely. You did a phenomenal job.' I think, to me, that meant the world, because it's Henry Cavill, Man of Steel."

Cavill returned as Superman for Black Adam's mid-credits scene, before officially announcing that he would be reprising the role going forward. Unfortunately, everything changed when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as DC Studios heads, and a new actor will be cast as the Man of Tomorrow in Superman: Legacy.

As for Calle, we still don't know if she'll remain on as Kara Zor-El in the DCU, but, by all accounts, she is a major highlight of The Flash, so Gunn and Safran might be wise to at least consider it.

p>"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to help. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian…albeit not the one he’s looking for.

Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"

The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.

@TheVandalore - Sadly we live in a world that's far from perfect, but what we have is good enough for me to settle for, at least for now.

@Fares - oh, this is cakes and candy compared to what I grew up with. Still not perfect, but I'm beyond happy to live in a time that gives me this level of content.

The Rock and his power grab attempt really set Cavill up. Sad to see how he became a pawn.

“Did I make you proud?”

Who cares?

I like her costume design but I hope they retire the actual fabric of the suit for Gunn's Superman. Never liked all those little scales. Hope we go simpler with that one.

I appreciated the modesty of the returns suit, not too much going on which feels very Superman.

@Repian - I definitely wouldn't mind the original S logo being showcased for a younger Supes.

@GhostDog - Dear Lord no ! Routh suit was such a disappointment in SR . Loved his Kingdom Come suit in the CW universe.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 5/31/2023, 10:34 AM
@emeraldtaurus - I only wish the emblem was larger with the Returns suit which the Kingdom Come suit had. Essentially, the Kingdom Come suit is the ultimate version of this suit. I just like the fabric of it, which the CW suit has.

@GhostDog - the routh suit started the over designed elements. His suit had tiny S Sheila's all over it. Even the belt and soles of his boots.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 5/31/2023, 11:08 AM
@TheVandalore - That never bothered me due to how small those tiny shields were but I don't even like that as a concept, so I agree there.

I loved the s on the belt though. I'm a fan of the S on the cape too but since we did not get that here, the belt was a welcome new addition.

@TheVandalore - Link broken. Can you re-send??

@GhostDog -

To me, THIS cape is iconic. Instantly recognizable across the globe.

GhostDog - 5/31/2023, 11:25 AM
@TheVandalore - Love this cape man. Seeing that S as the cape flows always sends chills.

@GhostDog - I wish they would put the yellow "S" on the cape! They always leave it plain!

It came a point where they can say "Batman is in this movie", and I wouldnt believe it, they had lie so much about this movie, I doubt everything, this in particular...why would Cavill "love" a movie where his cameo got cut, and his Superman is killed as a baby? and after how poorly his "return" in Black Adam was handled?

Nothing against Sasha, but at this point, I just dont trust a single word they say regarding this movie.

Maybe he's as tired of the franchise as some of us and this is a definite out for him?
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 5/31/2023, 10:38 AM
@Reeds2Much - That...actually would make sense.

They are so desperate to win back Cavill fans because of their ridiculous reasoning for sacking him. Gunn and his bad decisions has been a nightmare for WB. He needs to be dropped!

...maybe he is a grown up, and has come to terms with his departure and found the movie great and wishes everyone the best.

@JonC - Nah, that's too reasonable.
