Sasha Calle’s Supergirl is making headlines once again as new merchandise for The Flash has surfaced online. The packaging for a Supergirl-inspired Barbie doll shows Calle suited up and ready for action ahead of her DC Universe debut in The Flash.
Played by Sasha Calle, Supergirl’s The Flash role has been a closely guarded secret, but now fans are getting new glimpse at the rising actress in full costume thanks to merchandise packaging. The packaging in question comes from Mattel, which has partnered with Warner Bros. to create a line of dolls and toys inspired by the upcoming DC Universe movie.
Sasha Calle was announced as the newest addition to the DC Universe in February 2021 and her casting was met with enthusiasm from fans. The actress, best known for her work on the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, is set to play Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman and a fellow Kryptonian.
Featuring Ezra Miller in his long-awaited return as Barry Allen, The Flash is the first cinematic solo outing for the DC Comics hero of the same name. The movie marks Miller’’’s fifth turn as The Flash, following the actor’s appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League and the Peacemaker series on HBO Max.
The Flash’s DC Universe future
Warner Bros. Discovery already has a script for a potential sequel to The Flash, written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the man behind the two Aquaman movies starring Jason Momoa. However, James Gunn and Peter Safran did not discuss the Flash sequel during their DC Universe presentation.
Directed by Andy Muschietti from a script written by Birds of Prey scribe Christina Hodson, The Flash is inspired by the Flashpoint comic book storyline, which followed Barry Allen as he navigated an altered DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kuber, Flashpoint radically altered the status of the DC Comics universe and led to the launch of the New 52 titles.
In addition to Ezra Miller, The Flash also features Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two separate versions of Batman, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora-Ul and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Rudy Mancuso and Luke Brandon Field are also on board in undisclosed roles.
