Actress Sasha Calle, destined to take flight as Supergirl in DC's highly anticipated "The Flash", has joined forces with the powerhouse agency, CAA. This remarkable news is yet another feather in the cap of the rising Latina star, who is set to redefine the face of Hollywood's superheroes.
Sasha Calle: Soaring to Superhero Stardom
Calle's engagement with the comic universe's maiden voyage begins with "The Flash", marking her impressive debut in feature films. The star-studded cast she'll be sharing the screen with includes Ezra Miller, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, and Kiersey Clemons. This cinematic extravaganza, penned by Christina Hodson of the “Transformers” spinoff “Bumblebee” and “Birds of Prey” fame, is slated for release on November 4, 2022.
The announcement of Calle's casting was an emotional affair, as revealed by director Andy Muschietti in an Instagram video. The tearful revelation showcased Calle learning she had won the coveted role, a moment she described by saying, "Little me would be like, 'No way. I’m probably not going to stop crying all day.'"
Breaking Barriers: First Latina Supergirl
In what can only be described as a triumph over an overwhelming 400 actors, Calle emerged victorious to claim the superhero mantle. With this remarkable casting, she shatters a glass ceiling by becoming the first Latina ever to portray Supergirl.
Before soaring high as the iconic superhero, Calle had a successful stint as Lola Rosales on “The Young and the Restless," which earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2020. A graduate of AMDA's College & Conservatory of The Performing Arts, Calle is also a talented singer/songwriter and released a soulful cover of Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor,” in 2020.
