Bottom line is, we don't know what they're going to do in terms of her look. So, at this point , it's about debating our own individual preferences as opposed to arguing her hair color based on what we know about the character's actual look in the film.
For me, the hair color thing is not that big a deal , in the sense that it's a deal breaker. Even if I'm very attached to a character.
Amy Adams didn't dye her hair black to play Lois, neither did Erica Durance. Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland didn't dyed there hair to look just like the comic book Peter Parker.
Michael Keaton's hair wasn't the exact same color as the comic book . Daniel Craig's Bond is blonde.
I'm attached to all of those characters , but when it comes to my favorite characters , above everything ,the most important thing for me, is that an actor captures the spirit and the soul of the character, not that they look 100% aesthetically like the comics or previous iterations.
It's a nice cherry on top , and it's great when you can do both and have both, but I want an actor or actress who can act , not someone who looks the part exactly like in the comics for the sake of comics accuracy.
For me, it's about capturing the character, and alot of times, an actor or actress who maybe doesn't look like they stepped right from the page will achieve that better than an actor who looks exactly like their comic book counter part.
In Supergirl's case, we've had 3 blonde Supergirl's over the past 40 odd years on film and tv. Would it really be horrible imo if we had a brunette Supergirl on film?
If Sasha captures the spirit and essence of the that character, then , no , it's not a problem for me. I can believe that she's Supergirl without Blonde hair, if she can make me believe she's Supergirl.
But again, we really don't know what type of look they're going for, and we don't know if this Supergirl is Kara.
