As noted by Deadline, Sasha Calle has been cast as Supergirl in the upcoming film The Flash, making her the first Latinx actor to portray the iconic caped character, Supergirl.

The Young and the Restless star beat out competition from 425 other actresses to nab the role in the upcoming The Flash movie within the DC Universe.

Director Andy Muschietti zeroed in on Sasha’s “toughness and vulnerability,” According to Deadline he further added, “The talent pool was truly amazing and it was very hard to make a decision, but we finally found an actress who was destined to play this role.”
