The next Superman movie will look wildly different from anything that’s come before. We learned in February that Warner Bros. had hired acclaimed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates to write the screenplay for a new Superman movie with J.J. Abrams producing. Rumors also swirled at the time that this planned film would introduce a new Superman – a Black Superman.
That is indeed what Warner Bros. is planning, as a new report over at THR takes a look inside what’s on deck for this DC reboot. The plan is to introduce the world to a Black Superman, and Warner Bros. is also committed to hiring a Black filmmaker to direct the movie – meaning Abrams will only be producing, not directing this venture. It’s still early days on the project as Coates’ screenplay isn’t even due until December, but Warner Bros. is currently eager to get a director attached so shepherd the project in this nascent stage.
THR throws out Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II), J.D. Dillard (Sleight), Regina King (One Night in Miami), and Shaka King (Judas and the Black Messiah) as possibilities while also noting Warner Bros. could shoot for a more established filmmaker like Ryan Coogler or Barry Jenkins. However, Coogler currently has his hands full with Black Panther 2 and won’t be finished with that film until after it releases in Summer 2022, so he may not be the likeliest of possibilities. King could have an edge as his Warner Bros. film Judas and the Black Messiah just scored two Oscar wins and a Best Picture nomination, but again the report stresses that it’s “phenomenally early” so it’s anyone’s guess at this point.

Good...another movie I won’t feel obliged to see, and thus save more money!
What difference does it make.... the comic book superhero stuff is all ridiculous anyway.
...hoping for a black audience...good luck with that.
They should also plan on hiring a black spin doctor to explain why their woke film bombed at the box office because they spent to much time virtue signaling to create a good movie.
Mark my words, as the quality of today’s films descends even further into the toilet, old movies will become more popular than ever.
The best strategy is to not watch movies produced beyond the year 2000.
With very few exceptions, they promote the WOKE agenda.
Imagine how hard it’d be to find an actor to play a black Aquaman — which requires swimming.
Why not Latino, they have a bigger population than Blacks?
Does everything have to be framed as a Black vs White situation?
Are they going to make a sequel to Black Panther?
How about a new guy to play Shaft?
How about a new sequel to Undercover Brother?
Another box office bomb in the making. Will go right to the $5 bin
How abut a remake of “The Mack”?
Original starred Max Julien from 1973 here is the plot:
Goldie returns from five years at the state pen and winds up King of the pimping game. Trouble comes in the form of two corrupt white cops and a crime lord who wants him to return to the small time.
Now this is real good stuff!!!!!!!!
Anything that's come out lately is a remake of something that's been done before (at least once) and it's usually worse than the original.
Cultural appropriation!
My thoughts, too.😂
its been done in the comics already... the characters name was Supreme...ok read but nothing special.
Shaq?
Like the last Superman movie wasn’t bad enough...
Superflyman.
What difference will it make who stars and who directs, as they won’t make back their money.
I know, lets do a play about a black Benjamin Franklin, that’ll work? No? Ok. Or, how about a black Aaron Burr? No? How about a black Fredrick Douglas? Too far fetched, eh?
75% of the movies I watch are pre-1950
Aside from some of the Marvel flicks, most everything else is pre-1980
