‘The Flash’ Director Reveals First Look At Supergirl’s Costume
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s our first look at Supergirl’s costume inThe Flash. Latina actressSasha Calleis set to make her debut as the DC Extended Universe’s Girl of Steel in theEzra Miller-led solo film, but we won’t see her in the full get-up just yet. For now, it’s just a look at part of the Supergirl costume, courtesy ofThe FlashdirectorAndy Muschietti.
Supergirl Costume First Look
Andy Muschietti, who directs Ezra Miller’s solo superhero outing with the upcomingThe Flash, hasdebutedthe first look at the Supergirl costume that will be worn by Sasha Calle, theYoung and the Restlessstar who landed the coveted part of the Girl of Steel.
It’s a pretty basic costume that appears to be of a similar make and texture to the Superman suit worn by Henry Cavill, though decidedly brighter than his suit’s famously muted colors. There’s also some detailing on the chest that makes the pattern look a little more feminine. The red on top also suggests that the suit may have a high neckline that will presumably connect with a cape, similar to the one worn by theNew 52 versionof the character. Whether Muschietti will go with the classic skirt or the questionable leotard cut is the next question.
Lining Up for a Crisis
Callewas announcedto be joining the film as Supergirl earlier this year, following the news that Ray Fisher’s Cyborg wasgetting cut out of the film. It’s just one ofmany updatesthatThe Flashhas gone through since it began its development many, many years ago, though Muschietti has finally gotten the ball rolling on DC’s long-embattled project. In addition to this new image of the Supergirl costume, Muschietti recently shared a look at the updatedFlash suitas well asMichael Keaton’snew Batman suit.
The film will purportedly draw influence from theFlashpointcomic run, which saw the Flash end up in an alternate timeline. In the movie, Barry will travel back in time to stop the murder of his mother. But the act of time traveling “inadvertently creates another universe protected by Keaton’s Batman, now 30 years older.”
Ezra Milleris reprising hisJustice Leaguerole, whileKiersey Clemonsmakes her proper debut as love interest Iris West. Clemons originally played the role inJustice League, but her debut ended up getting cut — a scene that was reinstated inZack Snyder’s Justice League. Muschietti helms a script fromChristina Hodson, who also wrote the DC flickBirds of Prey.The Flasharrives in theaters onNovember 4, 2022.
