The Cool Nickname 'The Flash’ Star Sasha Calle Gave To Her Supergirl Barbie

Cinema Blend

The DC Universe has been keeping audiences on their toes since its inception, thanks to twists both in front of behind the camera. The next upcoming DC movie flying into theaters is Andy Muschietti’s The Flash, which has been a long time coming. The movie will introduce Sasha Calle as Supergirl, with the actress being made into a variety of merchandise as a result of this role. Calle recently told CinemaBlend about a funny nickname to her Supergirl Barbie… which she regularly carries around.  The Flash looks like it can be a star-making moment for Sasha Calle, who has the honor of being the first Latina actress to play Supergirl. Moviegoers are excited to see how her Kryptonian powers will influence the movie’s action, especially since the multiversal story will bring it back to the events of Man of Steel. As you can see in the video above, CinemaBlend’s own Sean O’Connell had the privilege of speaking with Calle ahead of The Flash’s release. During their chat she revealed her close bond to her Supergirl Barbie, as well as its adorable name.
