Rumors had been building over the last week about a possible Supergirl HBO Max series. This would involve the DCEU movie version of Supergirl played by Sasha Calle rather than the CW TV version played by Melissa Benoist and would carry on from the character’s first appearance in The Flash movie coming November 2022. Are the Sasha Calle Supergirl series rumors true? Or will there be a Supergirl movie instead?
Is there a Supergirl HBO Max series release date?
Sasha Calle’s Supergirl will not be getting an HBO Max TV series. Instead, she will be getting a movie. The rumors about Warner Bros. developing an HBO Max series were from a slightly sketchy source but were widely reported, but now journalist and podcaster Andy Behbakht has taken to Twitter to confirm that there is “no such project in the works.” Which makes a lot of sense.

The previous Supergirl series starring Melissa Benoist is coming to a close soon and was canceled due to falling ratings, so it seems unlikely Warner Bros would immediately jump into another series. Besides, a Supergirl movie has been in development for a while and was confirmed earlier this year, and fans are actually concerned it could be an HBO Max-only release rather than a theatrical one. The only thing truly certain right now is that Sasha Calle’s Supergirl will debut in The Flash movie in November 2022, and fans even know what her costume looks like thanks to a series of leaks.
What is the Supergirl movie release date?
The Supergirl DCEU movie will likely appear around 2023-2024, depending on how far it is in production right now. It certainly won’t happen before Sasha Calle’s debut in The Flash movie in November 2022, and it depends on whether Warner Bros is waiting for the reaction to the character before officially greenlighting a movie. On the other hand, with the DC Fandome event happening on October 16 a Supergirl movie may be announced then, along with its release date.
