THE FLASH: Sasha Calle Cast as Supergirl

THE FLASH director Andy Muschietti has announced that Sasha Calle has been cast as Supergirl.

Check out his video via his Instagram below…

Gotta say that I’m not all that unfamiliar with Ms. Calle’s work as my wife (“Announcer Rachel”) is still a fan of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS soap opera.  She records the episodes and then binge-watches them while running on the treadmill.  I asked her about Ms. Calle and she said that she “loved her” and thought she was “really talented.”  (I cannot confirm or deny that I watched Y&R with my grandmother’s as a kid, while in college, or even today.  I will say that I like Victor Newman a lot.)

While I’m fine with the casting, I do wonder why Supergirl is in this film?  My first thought is that Warner Bros. is eying a Supergirl spinoff movie starring the lovely Ms. Calle.  While I’d bet a million dollars — of Monopoly money, as always — that a Supergirl film is in the pipeline, I hope that’s not the only reason the character is in THE FLASH.  Oh yeah…

That sound noise you hear is fanboys raging that this Supergirl isn’t going to be blonde-haired and blue-eyed. *rolling eyes really hard* – Bill “Jett” Ramey
