Henry Cavill is hanging up his Superman cape after five years as the superhero.

And rumors are already circulating about who will take the role of the DC Comics favorite.

Michael B Jordan's name has been at the top of many lists, according to Deadline, who reported movie studio Warner Bros. 'has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time.'

His most famous role was the heavy in "Black Panther". He was the African-American Torch from the last "Fantastic Four" movie that bombed.

Yeah, because race-swapping superheros has worked out so well.

[Williams]

I’m cool with it, but he does not get to bang Amy Adams. Or maybe he does.

Once you go black there is no.....

[I want the USA back]

Why not hire a Spanish-speaking, trans, black, m*slim, with a peanut allergy and satisfy all the victim groups?

[fortheDeclaration]

And we are suppose to care?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Would making a black Superman movie (invented by two midwestern Jewish white guys) be cultural appropriation?

Would it ever be allowed to have a white guy play ‘The Black Panther’?

[WashingtonFire]

Hey why not ?

On the subject Might I suggest Woody Allen as the new Shaft?

Somebody was currently playing Superman? I’m so out of the loop.

[MyKidsDad73]

Would his name still be Clark Kent or Kunta Kinte Kent?

[LostInBayport]

Prepare for endless eyerolls as the media gleefully announces that Superman is now an African-American.

I’m assuming there was no place called “Africa” on Krypton.

[jarwulf]

Its the newest spin on lazy reboots. Simply race/gender swap established franchises....only in one direction and otherwise do nothing creative and then be hailed for your vision and insulated from criticism.

So when will we see a Hancock remake starring a young white actor?

Of all the stupid politically correct bullsh*t, this is the worst i've seen lately.

No. Just no.

[al_c]

African-Kryptonian?

[chris37]

Oh he gon’ be play Clarkvon Kents?

Okay.

[RandallFlagg]

It worked so well for Ghostbusters.

Oh, wait....

[Cowboy Bob]

Hollywood is out of ideas, so they try to go for the shock value.

[NativeSon]

They won’t make a black Batman
