New Supergirl Sasha Calle Teases Cir-El's Debut in The Flash Movie?

Sasha Calle, who will take on the mantle of Supergirl in the upcoming DC Extended Universe film,The Flashis gearing up for shoots and teased her new look, befitting a version of the eponymous superheroine from the comics. Calle recently shared a tweet where she can be seen in short hair, which fans believe to be her new loom forThe Flash, which has began production with star Ezra Miller. The short black hair has led fans to speculate that Sasha will play the Cir-El iteration of the character.

The details aboutThe Flashfilm have yet to reveal which version of Supergirl willSasha Calleplay. And given her look, which pretty much resembles Cir-El from the comics and is widely different from the original long blond hair look donned by original Supergirl, Kara Zor-El, Sasha does fit well with Cir-El.

Cir-El was introduced in the 2003 DC comics issue,Superman: The 10¢ Adventure #1, where Cir-El appears as Superman and Lois’s daughter from the future and aids in fighting Radion and Bizzaro and even leads an entourage including Superboy and Batman family to rescue both Superman and Batman when they are captured by Lex Luthor. It’s later revealed that Cir-El is actually a girl named Mia, whose blood is genetically altered by Kryptonian DNA, and that she was created by Brainiac to defeat Superman. However, she regains control over herself and chooses to remove herself from existence to thwart Brainiac’s plan of devastating Earth. However, the DC multiverse did allow her character to return once again in another time-traveling adventure.

While Sasha’s hairdo does give a call back to Cir-El, we can’t really say what’s Andy Muschietti is planning to do with the character in his movie. It will all depend on what part of the DC multiverseThe Flashwill touch. The story, which, according to Andy Muschietti, will rewriteDC Extended Universein many ways, will be a different treat to watch after the wayZack Snyder’s Justice Leagueestablished Barry Allen’s time-traveling abilities and his backstory; however, currentlyThe Flashstands canon with Joss Whedon’sJustice League (2017)as per Warner Bros. ongoing take on DCEU.

Notably, the film will bring backMichael Keaton’s version of Batmanfrom Tim Burton’sBatman (1989)alongside Ben Affleck’s iteration of Batman from DCEU films, continuing his story arc first established inBatman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Sasha Calle will be the first actress to playSupergirlin a feature film, while Melissa Benoist portrayed Kara Zor-El iteration of the character inArrowversetelevision productions at The CW, withSupergirlserving the character’s origin story.

Andy Muschietti’sThe Flashwill star Ezra Miller reprising his role from previous DCEU films along with Kiersey Clemons reprising her role as Iris West fromZack Snyder’s Justice League.
