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.

They might as well add a bankruptcy attorney to their search.
Do you recognize any of those audience members? I see Johnny Carson, James ‘Scotty’ Doohan, Lucille Ball, John Denver with the glasses further on back. Sonny Bono looking back next to Batman.
Because everyone knows that woke films make the most money. The 10% of the population that actually might go to see a second rate preachy film usually are too lazy to leave the comfort of their television set... But when it makes it to HBO it should become an instant classic.
Get the chick from the chick Ghostbusters

Be as good.
Make the next Black Panther white.
That’s wild. I didn’t know it had all those celebrities on there.
Probably will be black and bi sexual or gay given just about every movie and tv series I’ve seen come out of Hollywood, Netflix and Amazon lately.
Jar Jar Abrahms master of the lens flare.
They’re going to update the story line. Krypton will be Fentanyl. The “Fortress of Solitude” will be the “Crib of Crack Crystals”. just saying...love to hear the soundtrack...
Lucille Ball on the back lower right as well as it looks like the character Clark Kent also next to her. There are so many recognizable faces I see in that audience. I was too young to really remember any of these names though. Very cool.
Who’s gonna be the bizarros ?
It’s going to be a problem finding a black actor ‘cause God knows you never see any on TV, movies or ads. It’ll be a daunting task.
Who is the new Shaft? Matt Damon? Tom Cruise?
Comic book movies are now the only “films” that keep Hollywood profitable. They make most of their money in Asia. It will be interesting to see who will finance this movie and how it sells.
Just call it Wokeman. There’s nothing super about this.
This will be a shoe-in for 10 Academy Awards, to include the big 3...Actor, Director and Picture.
No matter how friggin’ lame it ends up being.
