Krypton's famous daughter, Supergirl, is set for a rebirth, and it's all the talk in Metropolis. Rising actress Sasha Calle is donning the red cape as the new Supergirl in The Flash, but will she continue in the role for the newly-announced Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie?

Sasha Calle's Supergirl: Flying to Unknown Heights
James Gunn and Peter Safran, the masterminds behind the DC Universe, are teasing something different for Kara Zor-El. The iconic Supergirl, now in the capable hands of Sasha Calle, is planned to have a future as uncertain and intriguing as a superhero's secret identity.
"We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents... vs. Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton," Gunn and Safran explained.
The DC Universe: A New Frontier with Sasha Calle's Supergirl
Gunn and Safran's vision for the DC Universe includes "locked scripts, wiggle room, and a unified storyline." Their eight-to-ten-year plan isn't a full reboot but rather a reimagining that could bring back elements from previous DC regimes.
The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie, inspired by Tom King’s storyline, is not expected to connect to the Arrowverse series that ended in March 2021, offering a unique take on the classic hero.
With four DC Universe movies, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, currently in post-production, the big question remains: "Will the characters from those movies make appearances in the new DCU? Only Gunn and Safran know."
