Discuss news on the upcoming Supergirl project.
Sasha Calle or new actress?
I'm torn. On the one hand I really want blonde haired, blue eyed Supergirl. On the other I haven't seen Sasha Calle's version and it may be great. Also, it'd really suck for her if she did a great job - only to be told 'Great, thanks, bye'. She was obviously delighted at getting the part. As I see it, it's hers at the moment. Let her run with it. I wish her every success. If it doesn't work then give us blonde Kara.Sasha Calle or new actress?
I personally hope they give Calle a shot at this.
I cannot express how hyped I am that not only are they doing this story on the big screen, but that King himself is writing (or co-writing). Please get someone good to direct. This is the best comics story Kara has ever had, imo, and they've got this one chance to do it right.
DittoI prefer to have a younger Supergirl on the big screen. Sasha Calle is 27 and is more like Melissa Benoist age when she started the series. I want to see a proper teenage Supergirl. We only had that once in the Helen Slater version and she was 20 at the time but playing a teenager. I don't mind if the actress is 20 as long as she looks young like Slater did, but prefer not to have one who is in her late 20s. I don't think we need another adult Supergirl after a whole series about that.
This particular story doesn’t really work with a 14-15 year old Kara, imo. She essentially takes a kid around that age under her wing. This Kara’s been around for a bit. I’d say 19 or 20-ish would work.
That’s a completely different story. No thanks. The story is narrated by the younger character as an adult, and is essentially told from her POV. It’s True Grit, but with Kara in the Rooster Cogburn role, essentially.Could they modify the story where she takes a toddler under her wing? Or maybe she's the one taken under someone's wing?
To be honest, if they are starting out with a younger Superman who is mid-20s, having a SuperGIRL who is around the same age in the same universe probably doesn't work. The whole point is that she's younger than Superman.
I don't know how that would square with adapting this comic though. Seems like a tricky deal.

She's chronologically older but not physically older, due to the extended stasis on her delayed journey to Earth. I want them to keep that. I don't want her looking around the same age as Superman.Isnt she older than Superman? She was 9-12 when Superman was sent to Earth but she was lost in space essentially and didnt age properly.
I dont think she needs to be 30 to his 25 but casting someone 20-24 to his 25-29 shouldnt hurt.
