“They did Sasha Calle dirty”: James Gunn’s DCU Abandons First POC Kryptonian Star for Three White Actresses Including House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock

Following Warner Bros.’ merging with Discovery, the company faced major reconstruction that led to the replacement of the former DC head with the current CEO James Gunn. This particular shift in power gave birth to a completely revamped DC Universe, that not only bid goodbye to Henry Cavill’s Superman but also appears to have abandoned Sasha Calle’s Supergirl. 

Although the 2023 DC movie The Flash introduced Colombian-descent Sasha Calle in the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, it seems she might have been in a “one-movie” situation. According to recent reports from Deadline, three actresses will be screen testing for James Gunn’s DCU, and Calle is nowhere on the list.

A lot of things have been changing with the new, rebooted DCU on the horizon. Beginning with a shift in power to casting out actors, the revamped DCU is waiting to almost start from scratch. With James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over the reins, it seems fans didn’t just bid adieu to Henry Cavill’s Superman, but also to Sasha Calle‘s Supergirl. 

Although the young Colombian-descent actress, Sasha Calle, was introduced in the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl in the 2023 movie The Flash, she unfortunately appears to have been in a “one-movie” situation. The alleged reports initially came from Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman, who noted that Calle’s Kara Zor-El has been recast.
