While promoting his Amazon Prime film Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse in late April, Michael B. Jordan put a Kryptonite pin in any rumors that he might suit up as Warner Bros.’ next Superman. “I’m flattered that people have me in that conversation,” Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s definitely a compliment, but I’m just watching on this one.”
With that, a whole new guessing game has kicked off centered on who will play the Man of Steel. And arguably more pressing: Who will direct? Sources say J.J. Abrams, who is producing the film, is not among the many possibilities being considered. When Warners announced in February that celebrated author Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing the screenplay and Abrams is producing, it did not address the matter of helming. But insiders say Warners and DC are committed to hiring a Black director to tackle what will be the first cinematic incarnation of Superman featuring a Black actor, with one source adding that putting Abrams at the helm would be “tone-deaf.”

Audiences don’t particularly cares about the character’s outside, they care about the character’s inside.
this is about destroying the original.
This “author” is a disaster and just an downright bad writer.
Jar Jar (cut and paste) Abrams destroys yet ANOTHER franchise
Yup there he is.🤔
Agree. I picked up a copy of Cloverfield from the $5 bin. The shaky camera crap made me nauseous in the first 10 minutes. I turned it off and never watched it again.
Make it a Tranny.
That will really help the brand name. /LOL
Hey, it worked for “Hamilton”.
There are hoards of idiots thirsting for a way to show their virtue.
Yes Shaq already did this... Steel. It was based on the four story lines that emerged after the death of Superman.

All superheroes now come from Wakanda.
Right, you are. Those black Little Orphan Annies and Hamiltons were soooo not woke. At least The Wiz starred Jackson who was confused on both gender, race and failed at adulting.
Bigger question: why would Superman, a member of an alien race, look even remotely like an earth human?
The last movie I saw in the theater was ‘Black Mass’ - and only because my wife grew up in Quincy(pronounced Quinzee), MA.
“They are already producing a backstory movie just about Cyborg.”
I don’t think that will happen. Ray Fisher, the guy that played him, seems to be persona non grata with Warner Bros. now. He has done a lot of public bellyaching about how some of the creators treated him. Racism, ya know. WB investigated his complaints and concluded they was no substance to his complaints.
Then they should make a Cyborg movie and cast a white guy in the role. That would be awesome.
Why not just keep him white?
I think this calls for a trilogy: a black Superman, an Asian Black Panther, and the Rock playing Supergirl.
How about a man trapped in the body of a lesbian?
Well, it is obvious:
Serena Williams
Comic Books Always Racist?

And about that ‘printed’; should have been ‘eboniced’.
