Sasha Calle, who will play Supergirl in the DCEU’s The Flash film, talks about becoming the first Latina actress to play the character.
She talked about her role as Supergirl in the film and how she wants Latina girls to perceive themselves as superheroes.
Calle became emotional while filming because she realised she was the first Latina actor to play the great Kryptonian hero; she told “Representation in the entertainment industry really matters, and I’m super honored, honestly (to be the first Latina Supergirl)
Supergirl, on the other hand, will not star in her own film, but rather in Andy Muschietti’s The Flash.
Calle, who joined The Flash in February 2021, has been one of the show’s major secrets throughout its creation.
The Flash’s Multiverse inclusion, Calle’s Supergirl might not be from the same Earth as the DCEU’s Barry Allen, but only time will tell.
The Flash movie was supposed to come out in November, but Warner Bros. put it out to June 2023.
The fact that Calle is the first Latina to be cast as Supergirl is something that has happened before with other superhero shows.
The first look at Supergirl was unveiled during a teaser for The Flash at last year’s DC FanDome event, giving fans a glimpse of the hero’s new costume.
The film Supergirl was first announced in 2018, with filming beginning in 2019. However, ideas for the film were dropped at some point, and Calle was cast as Supergirl in The Flash.
