Sasha Calle Opens Up About Her Heartfelt Departure from the Role of Supergirl

Sasha Calle, who debuted as Supergirl in The Flash, recently shared her emotions about being replaced in the role. Despite signing a multi-film deal, the change in leadership at DC Studios led to a new casting direction, with Milly Alcock taking over as Kara Zor-El.

Calle expressed her deep love for the character, saying, “I was so deeply in love with that role,” and described her exit as both heartbreaking and confusing. What started as a promise of multiple films turned into just one appearance, making her departure particularly painful.

Calle’s brief time as Supergirl was marked by both studio changes and outside pressures. The Flash struggled with Ezra Miller’s legal troubles and disappointing box office results, making her debut even more challenging.

During this tough time, Calle found support in her friendship with Leslie Grace, who faced her own setback when Warner Bros. Discovery canceled the Batgirl project. Calle described Grace as a “divine light of love and warmth,” highlighting how their bond provided comfort amid the chaos.

Looking ahead, Calle is optimistic about her career and excited to take on more action roles, whether they include supernatural themes or not.

She values her chance to portray a “queer Latina girl” as a superhero, believing it made a meaningful impact. Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash follows Barry Allen as he tries to change his past, ending up in a reality where he must enlist a retired Batman and rescue a Kryptonian to prevent disaster.

The film, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, showcases Barry’s race against time. Have something to add? Let us know in the comments below!
