The recent trailer of the upcoming The Flash movie has fans buzzing with excitement, but also with confusion. One particular tweet confirmed that Sasha Calle’s character in the movie will not be DCU’s Supergirl. This has left fans wondering what role she will be playing in the movie and what this means for the future of the DC universe.
Sasha Calle as SupergirlJames Gunn’s Version of Supergirl
The confusion surrounding Sasha Calle‘s role in The Flash movie has brought attention to the upcoming movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which is a part of James Gunn’s DCU Chapter 1.
Gunn has described the movie as being a completely new and separate take on the character of Supergirl. In a recent statement, Gunn described Supergirl as follows:
“Within our story, we have Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents and nurtured, whereas Kara was in Krypton, she was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and lived there for the first 14 years of her life among [a] horrible situation where she watched everybody around her die. So she’s a much harsher and more fuc*ed up Supergirl than we’ve been used to this far.”

The harsher and more “fuc*ed up” version of Supergirl described by James Gunn is a departure from the traditional portrayal of the character and has fans excited to see what he has in store for the upcoming movie. But his description of Supergirl in DC does not seem to match with Sasha Calle’s portrayal of supergirl in The Flash.
Sasha Calle’s Role in The Flash movie
Sasha Calle was announced as the newest member of the cast for The Flash movie, which is set to release in 2023. The recent trailer showed a glimpse of her character and has left fans questioning her origin and connection to the DC universe.
According to the tweet, the origin implied in the trailer does not match the premise of the upcoming movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
This has left fans wondering if Sasha Calle’s character will be playing an Elseworlds version of Supergirl, or if she will be playing a completely different character. Since the first day, fans have expressed their desire to see Sasha Calle take on the role of Supergirl and have been very vocal about it. Many fans even replied to James Gunn’s tweet and requested him to “keep Sasha Calle as DC’s Supergirl.”
A user even hinted that she could be the film version of another alternate version of Supergirl.
The differences between the two versions of Supergirl have fans wondering how the character will be portrayed in each movie. Sasha Calle’s character in The Flash movie is implied to be a different version of the character, while James Gunn’s version of Supergirl is a completely separate take on the character.
