EXCLUSIVE: The Young and the Restless Daytime Emmy nominee Sasha Calle has scored the feature role of DC Universe’s new Supergirl. The Boston, MA-born Colombian actress is the first Latina Supergirl ever in DC and was chosen from more than 425 actresses who auditioned. She will make her debut in Warner Bros’ The Flash.
The Flash director Andy Muschietti watched all the auditions and I hear, along with DC Films boss Walter Hamada and the producers, was blown away by the actress’ toughness and vulnerability that she brought to the role.
“I saw more than four hundred auditions. The talent pool was truly amazing and it was very hard to make a decision, but we finally found an actress who was destined to play this role,” said Muschietti, who has a keen eye for discovering talent, in particular all the young actors from the first It movie.
-----------------
For obvious reasons this casting was big news to me. I don't watch soap operas so not familiar at all, but very curious. In terms of appearance question is if she will keep dark eyes and hair or be modified either through practical or computer effects to emulate Kara from the comics.
Anyways, this is assuming the Flash movie does indeed happen, which I feel like been pushed several years already so we shall see.
