'We're figuring it all out': Sasha Calle's uncertain path as Supergirl in DC's next chapter

When news hit that Sasha Calle, the first Latina Supergirl in DC history, was set to don the cape, the excitement was palpable. But, as James Gunn and Peter Safran began to outline DC's 8 to 10-year plan, Calle's future with the franchise became something of a cliffhanger. Let's look back at what unfolded.

Supergirl's New Chapter and Sasha's Uncertainty

"We're figuring it all out," Gunn responded when asked about Calle's future as Supergirl, as reported by Remezcla in January 2023. Despite casting Calle as Supergirl for the upcoming Flash movie, the ambiguity surrounding her involvement in the rebranding of DC left fans and critics alike teetering on the edge of their seats.

"They better bring Sasha Calle back for this it's the least she deserves": The Internet's Plea

The cries from fans were far from subtle. Social media erupted with a fervent hope that Calle would not only continue in her groundbreaking role but that she might also star in a standalone Supergirl movie. "Lo único que pido para el proyecto de 'SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW’ es que se mantenga a Sasha Calle. Se lo merece como nadie 🙏🏻❤️," one user passionately tweeted.

Supergirl: A "much more jaded character"

The announcement of a new Supergirl movie, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," further fueled speculation. Described as a "much more jaded character," raised on a chunk of Krypton, the character's trajectory seemed ripe for Calle's brooding portrayal.

The Flash, Chaos, and Hope

While uncertainty lingered around other stars like Flash's Ezra Miller, the anticipation surrounding Calle's potential role never waned. Her casting as Supergirl had already resonated deeply with the audience, and Gunn's hints at a future collaboration with Flash director Andy Muschietti added another layer of intrigue.

It's clear that Calle's portrayal as Supergirl struck a chord, transcending mere casting and touching something profound in the cultural zeitgeist. Her potential journey from the Flash to a standalone film symbolizes more than just a superhero's flight; it's a testament to the power of representation and the relentless hope of her fans.

What's next for Sasha Calle's Supergirl remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: the fans are watching, waiting, and hoping that their superhero finds her place in the sun.
