I doubt the movie will see the light of day. Abrams is awful and he already killed Star Trek and Star Wars. Not even black people want to see a black Superman.
They should keep Henry cavil I thought he was a fine Superman even if the movies were pretty crummy.

...our baked-in notions about what those attributes look like would be challenged.

If "MN" is short for Minnesota, this is why most of Minnesota is lost. MNDude, nobody cares except the woke. Stay woke my friend. Lol.

Movies centered around black actors tend to have an ‘in your face’ attitude about belittling whites on screen. Will Smith, in one got great joy out of making a white person hold his food (or you will be wearin’ it) while he chased some one. Cuba Gooding, in one flick, finds out his father is white and he looks like he is going to vomit.
Instant gratification but in the long run, it makes for a cheap movie.

Black Superman is just perfect. Superman is already overpowered, making him the least interesting superhero. He cannot fail. Black protagonists cannot fail. Match made in Heaven. Black Supergendernonbinaryotherkind will be even better.

Why copy white characters?

That’s would be what I would call plagiarism and the worst kind since it would be a character based on a white privileged character.

I’m waiting for black Popeye movie. Instead of spinach, he’s hitting up Popeye’s for fried chicken specials to build muscle mass.

If you want a superhero who is black, create one. Otherwise, leave my superheroes alone!
