The Flash Movie Interview: Sasha Calle on Supergirl and Getting to Fight General Zod
183When Andy Muschietti’s long-awaited cap to the DC Extended Universe, The Flash, hits theaters on June 16, fans will finally get to see the franchise’s Supergirl debut, played by newcomer, Sasha Calle, in her first-ever feature role. While promoting the movie’s premiere, Calle spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about donning the Kryptonian’s cape and the opportunity to portray this “iconic and strong and hopeful character.”
In an effort to change his mother’s fate, Barry Allen (played by Ezra Miller) takes matters into his own hands and uses his powers as the Flash to go back in time. As a consequence, the fabric of this DC reality is torn and Barry enters the Multiverse, finding himself in an alternate reality under the attack of General Zod (Michael Shannon). Unfamiliar with this Earth’s superheroes, with the help of Barry Allen – the other one – Barry recruits a retired Batman (Michael Keaton), and teams up with Supergirl to fight Zod’s army. The Flash also stars Ben Affleck, Antje Traue, Kiersey Clemons, Ron Livingston, and Temuera Morrison.
In Collider’s interview, Calle shares with us the excitement of joining the DC Universe, tapping into the “multitude of emotions” in The Flash, and going from watching Man of Steel to fighting opposite Michael Shannon as General Zod in a week’s worth of stuntwork, some of which Calle teases was cut for being “rated R.” We find out what she’s most excited for fans to see, what about big-scale productions surprised her most, and what it felt like to see her face on a Mattel box for the first time. For all of this and more, you can watch the video below or read along with the full transcript.
