Sasha Calle Reflects on Her Emotional Exit as Supergirl

As a devoted fan who has followed Sasha Calle‘s journey, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of empathy for her. It’s heartbreaking to see such a passionate and talented actress have her dreams abruptly cut short. The rollercoaster ride that is Hollywood can be cruel indeed, and it seems the winds of change at DC Studios have left Calle in their wake.


Recently, Sasha Calle, who initially played Supergirl in ‘The Flash’ movie, expressed her thoughts after learning she was no longer going to be in that role.

Although Milly Alcock was not originally expected to portray Kara Zor-El in multiple films due to a previous multi-film deal, the change of leadership at DC Studios to James Gunn and Peter Safran brought about a shift in casting strategy, with Milly Alcock now slated to take on the role as Supergirl.

In her own words, Calle shared her profound affection for the character and her aspirations for its influence: “I was absolutely smitten by that part,” she admitted. “It was incredibly emotional for me, and I found myself quite bewildered.

Instead of numerous movie roles, she had only one appearance, which made her departure from the series unexpectedly poignant.

During her brief stint at the studio, Calle had to contend with more than just internal reorganizations; she also encountered external pressures. The release of ‘The Flash’ was beset by difficulties such as Ezra Miller’s legal problems and poor box office returns, making her debut all the more complicated.

In the midst of his professional hurdles, Calle discovered comfort in a friendship with Leslie Grace. Interestingly, she too was going through her own setback as Warner Bros. Discovery scrapped the ‘Batgirl’ project.

In this difficult time, Calle took comfort in their connection, likening Grace to a ‘shining beacon of love and affection.’ This relationship served as a ray of hope amidst the storm, underscoring the value of unity during challenging moments.

Moving ahead, Calle maintains a positive outlook on her professional journey and is excited to delve into more dynamic roles, be it in stories with supernatural aspects or not.

She cherishes the opportunity she had to represent a ‘queer Latina girl’ as a superhero, a role she believes had a meaningful impact on many. ‘I did something that mattered,’ she affirmed.

Under the guidance of director Andy Muschietti, ‘The Flash’ delves into Barry Allen’s endeavor to change his past, which unfortunately results in him being stuck in a world where he needs to convince a retired Batman and free a captured Kryptonian to prevent catastrophe.

As a gamer, I found myself immersed in a thrilling journey penned by the skilled storyteller, Christina Hodson, where every second counts. In this tale produced by the dynamic duo, Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, I raced against time to protect my familiar world from impending doom.
