Sasha Calle made her debut as a new take on Supergirl in The Flash, making the most of her relatively short amount of screen-time to deliver a memorable turn as the Girl of Steel.
Spoilers follow.
Kara is killed by Zod during the final battle, and the Scarlet Speedster realizes that no matter how many times he tries to alter the timeline in the Speed-Force, he won't be able to prevent her death. Supergirl was going to return for the original ending before it was changed, however, to set up a potential sequel.
Another Flash movie seems unlikely after a disappointing opening weekend at the box office, but we know a solo Supergirl movie is in development, so is there any chance Calle could reprise the role for Woman of Tomorrow?
During an interview with USA Today, the actress confirmed that she has met with DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran to discuss her future as the powerful Kryptonian hero. “I hope to continue playing Supergirl,” Calle says. “I love her so deeply and I feel so connected to her.”
Safran and James Gunn would certainly be smart to at least consider Calle for Woman of Tomorrow, but they may decide that the best course of action is to completely sever ties with the current DCEU era and start fresh.
What do you think? Would you like to see Calle remain on as Supergirl in the DCU? Drop us a comment down below.
"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.
