As a fan who has been following Sasha Calle’s journey since her remarkable portrayal of Supergirl in The Flash, I can confidently say that she embodies the spirit of the iconic character with an authenticity that resonates deeply. Her life experience, from breaking barriers as the first Latina to play Supergirl, to her emotional connection with the character, has only added to her compelling performance.
Prior to DCU making their official decision, Sasha Calle was considered one of the top contenders for the part of Supergirl. However, it was Milly Alcock who ultimately landed the role. Previously having played the character herself, Calle offered some words of guidance for Alcock as they prepare for the filming of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
As a gaming enthusiast, I was thrilled to learn that the screen test for “Supergirl” happened in Atlanta last January 2024. The talented actress from “The House of the Dragon,” Meg Donnelly, along with another star from “The Winchesters,” made it to the final shortlist. On the 29th of January 2024, it was officially announced that Olivia Alcock had landed the role. Interestingly, Isabelle Fuhrman, who played Supergirl in the 2023 movie “The Flash,” was previously linked with the series. Before the production of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” kicked off, Fuhrman gave Alcock some friendly advice to help her prepare for the role.
IndieWire chatted with actress Zoë Kravitz at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) while premiering her latest movie “On Swift Horses,” alongside Jacob Elordi, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Diego Calva, and Will Pouter. When asked about Stella Meghie’s casting as Supergirl in the upcoming series, Kravitz replied enthusiastically: “Enjoy yourself! You look so fierce, I adore it. Just go for it and have a blast!” The interview sparked various responses, with many praising Kravitz due to her compelling portrayal of Supergirl in ‘The Flash.’ Many also felt that she should’ve been given the role, as James Gunn could have cast her for it.
Back in 2023, during a heartfelt chat with People, I shared my journey of stepping into the iconic boots of Supergirl – a role previously graced by Melissa Benoist, Laura Vandervoort, and Molly Quinn, to name a few. As the first Latina to don this cape, it was an indescribable experience that left me feeling like I was floating above reality.
Despite having a small role as Supergirl in only one film, Calle’s performance was well-received by viewers due to her powerful on-screen presence and unique portrayal of the character. She played a captive Supergirl, offering a fresh perspective that showcased more emotional complexity than typical depictions of Kara Zor-El. Fans were hopeful she would reprise the role in ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’, but unfortunately, this didn’t happen. However, Calle has shown her support for Alcock as the new Supergirl, and even Helen Slater, who starred in the 1984 Supergirl movie, has expressed approval of Alcock’s casting. This may explain why some fans are disappointed that Calle wasn’t offered the role again.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will hit theaters on June 26, 2026.
