Former “The Young and the Restless” star Sasha Calle was elated when she learned she earned the title role in DC’s Supergirl movie as it’s not only an awesome character but a breakout opportunity for her.
But now it looks like her dream will be put on hold as various outlets reported that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav wants Superman to be the focal point of the DC movie universe, and Supergirl was said to be a replacement for Superman.
Sasha Calle’s Supergirl Movie Likely Cancellation Good News for Superman’s Supergirl Movie Likely Cancellation Good News for Superman
The Supergirl heavy scenes in The Flash were reported to be reshoots of Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel where Henry Cavill starred as Superman, as Michael Shannon took over as Zod in those scenes.
Other rumors suggest that Zod killed a baby Kal-El on Krypton, and that’s why Calle’s Supergirl is similar to Cavell’s.
It’s important to note this film is supposed to be in an alternate universe from the Man of Steel movie in order to reboot the franchise.
I official reason is David Zaslav’s vision for the DC film universe is based on theatrical releases and the best possible product out there. Because of that, it isn’t felt that the low-budget and low-quality projects like Batgirl, Wonder Twins, and the CW DC shows are the right fit.

Refocusing
There have also been reports that it comes down to Warner Bros. Discovery cutting costs everywhere as multiple shows are said to be in danger besides their DC universe.
All of this came out following the announced cancelation of the Batgirl movie as well, which coincidentally led to fan favorite Michael Keaton’s return as Batman being put into question as he’s been replaced by Ben Affleck in the role for Aquaman 2.
Jason Mamoa confirmed the recasting.
Henry Cavill returning?
It’s been reported that Henry Cavill is welcome to return to the role of Superman if he wants to, and the main question will be about money and how much Zaslav and Warner Bros Discovery want to pay him.
We could be seeing a new power structure soon emerge from the talks and subsequent decisions as it’s been reported Dwayne Johnson wants to take over the DC films universe.
Rumors are out there he wants a Black Adam vs. Superman type of movie, and it’s definitely possible.
Johnson and his production team produce Black Adam and his ex-wife and business partner manage Cavill so it’s something to keep our eyes open for as the possibilities seem to be taking on more of a realistic feel.
The DC universe has been in flux for years as they’ve frustrated fans with how they could get so much wrong while Marvel gets so much right, and this could be the turning point.
Do you think DC will be successful this time, or will we be waiting for the next attempt? Let us know in the comments below.
