DCEU Supergirl is Heartbroken over Supergirl Recasting

Last year, Sasha Calle made her debut as Supergirl in The Flash. However, a number of issues, such as co-star Ezra Miller's legal issues, the film's poor box office performance, and the fact that the DCEU was nearing the end of its life, marred what should have been a happy start to a major superhero franchise. The hunt for a new actress to play Kara Zor-El in the DCU started when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of the recently established DC Studios. Milly Alcock, who starred in House of the Dragon, eventually took over as our new big-screen Girl of Steel. For the first time, Calle discussed the subject with THR while discussing her upcoming picture, Joe Carnahan's RIP, and disclosed that she did sign a multi-film deal when she first took the job.

"I was so deeply in love with that role. I had a conversation about her future many times. When I signed onto that, it was for a multiple picture deal. That’s a common thing when you sign onto a franchise. So it was very heartbreaking for me, and it was very confusing."

"That was a rough experience," "So I look forward to working with people in this industry who see my value and who are excited to work with me. I have so much to give. I love my job so much, and I’m so excited to start kicking ass again. I love action movies. Whether it’s supernatural or not, I am just so excited to continue doing those things, and I know that I will do those things, with or without that role. I look back at it as something super beautiful. It’s been said that a queer Latina girl like me couldn’t be Supergirl. But I was, and no one can take that away from me. That is the most important thing for me; I did something that mattered. And whether you saw yourself represented in me or not, a lot of people really connected with her and loved her."
