    I see this as them calling Cavill's bluff. "If you won't come back, we'll just replace Superman with Supergirl". Thus still leaving the door open for him to come back. This could be an Earth 11 situation where she's from an Earth with reverse genders if we're talking about the multiverse. If this is Flashpoint, it could a situation where Kara came to Earth instead of Kal. Though how him going back and saving his mother would cause events to happen differently on another planet is anyone's guess. There's a number of potential explanations here.

The only part that annoys me about Kara getting a movie is they apparently want to use Brainiac as the villain and that pisses me off because I’ve been waiting years to see Kal and Brainiac go at it. Rather Kara gets it than him being wasted on a crap JL movie though I guess.
    Good God no. Nooooooooooooo

    Making her Latina is a brave and good move leading to inclusion and diversity. Those who deride any inclusion and diversity as "woke" as if that's a bad thing won't like it but, speaking as a kid who grew up on the comics of the 1960s when everybody was white, it's about friggin' time.
    I’d rather they use actual diverse characters and not race swap White characters that will always be White. Blue Beetle, Jessica Cruz...etc are Latino characters who could use the exposure but instead we get Latina Supergirl. With that being said, she does for Kara, personality wise. Wonder how she looks as a blonde

    To be honest I was kind of expecting she'd serve the role of Flashpoint Superman where she's a Kryptonian the government has under lock and key that Barry and co. need to free, but with the Multiverse they can go in any direction there.

    My thought upon reading the title - Sure, a latina actress can work.
    My thought upon reading "Young and the Restless" - Oh hell no!

    Admittedly I've watched a few soap operas when there was nothing else on, and it turned me against the "acting" of anyone on one...

    There are so many awesome non white characters to pull from its embarrassing to just switch someone up, just because your checking off boxes.

    I want to fly off the pages exactly the way they are, and Jessica Cruz, Jaime Reyes, vixen, black lightning, steel, Val zod and a ton more say hi, they would like some time to shine also, I knkw I would like to see them get it

    Assuming they dye her hair blonde for the role I'm all for it. I don't care about race but Supergirl has to be a blonde just like Storm has to have silver/white hair, IMO.

    Yeah, I hope she dyes her hair too.

    As excited for the role as she seems, I feel like she'd be up for it. Especially if Melissa could dye her hair for as many seasons as she has.

    Okay, so reading through the thread...you know she won't dye her hair or wear a wig right? Like, I get we all want the characters to look like the page, but that is just so unlikely to happen...

    The irony is, she'd be perfect for America Chavez. Who actually is latina and is the Marvel version of Supergirl. And is also a multiverse refugee.

    Is it so wrong to expect or hope she will, though? Although I know the precedence isn't that great.

    Indeed, here is hoping.

    But other than the hair thing she does seem to have the young cute vibe needed to pull off Kara. Also, it's nice she's excited about the role. Many actors don't care about playing a superhero they treat these iconic characters as just another gig something that has always bugged me.

    I've checked, and to my knowledge, she's been casted as Supergirl...but not specifically Kara.

    But, again, that's just from what I've read so far.

    In any case, I'm super for this!!
