James Gunn continues to build hype around Superman Legacy with a huge announcement for an iconic character. A news widely approved by Internet users.
Expected for July 9, 2025 in French theaters, Superman Legacy continues to make announcements around its casting. And for the moment, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy seems to be performing flawlessly in view of the feedback. In recent weeks, James Gunn has confirmed Skyler Gisondo in the shoes of Jimmy Olsen or Nicolas Hoult in the essential role of Lex Luthor. But unfortunately, Sasha Calle (The Flash) was not selected to take over the Supergirl costume. Good or bad news ?
Here is the actress who will play Supergirl in Superman Legacy
Opinions are rather unanimous in saying that The Flash is a (very) bad DC/superhero film, but on the other hand, Sasha Calle’s performance as Supergirl convinced. The actress was very invested in this role and had expressed her desire to continue to play this character in Superman Legacy. “I hope to continue playing Supergirl. I love her so deeply and feel so connected to her.”. Great motivation, especially after being dubbed by Henry Cavill himself before the release of The Flash.
But the opinion of the actor from The Witcher will do nothing, Sasha Calle will not be in the cast of Superman Legacy. Instead, James Gunn chose to trust another still very young actress: Milly Alcock. Very young, yes, but she has already exploded thanks to her participation in House of the Dragon, the spin-off of Game of Thrones, in which she plays Rhaenyra Targaryen. Initially, Emilia Jones (Locke and Key) and Meg Donnelly (American Housewife) were also in the running, but it was the very talented Milly Alcock who won Gunn’s favor. A wise decision according to Internet users, many of whom are happy with it. ” I adore “; “It’s going to be crazy”; “The cast is so good, I can’t wait to see what James Gunn does” can we read on X.
