What won't these Hollywood turds destroy? Or rather, what will they destroy next?

Imagine somebody with Superman’s powers raised in Detroit by a single mother who swears constantly.

Robbing gas stations would be a whole lot easier. And imagine all the illegitimate super children that are soon to be fatherless.

Sorry we already had the ideal black Superman movie in Steel starring master thespian Shaquille O'Neal.
I'd only watch this if it's Shaq again and Charles Barkley plays Lex Luthor.

 

[Marfa]

My vote for Black Superman goes to the Lovecraft County guy.

 

[Kaybee]

 

[puppybird]

My pick would be Robert Downey Jr

 

[TTech]

Lois Lane then has to also be black and not halfblack like usually,if they embrace the "message",embrace it fully. Jimmy korean and Lex role to strong woman Caitlyn Jenner or that Ashley fat model. Afterall nowadays gender is "fluid " and but a mind construct right?
Tho i hope nobody gets angry when Henry Cavill plays Martin L. King,he is such a great actor.

dc is not gonna fix its shitty movies by adding a black guy.

 

[tobiaswins]

The Character of Superman is an Alien so this really isn’t a big deal to me, but why does any care what the director looks like? Why is that important?

 

[deucesarewild]

Even though it's a joke, I hope they do this.

Warner Bros. Committed to Hiring a Black Director to Helm SUPERMAN Reboot Centering on a Black Superman

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.”

In a fitting twist, the director search is pitting DC against none other than Marvel. As Warners looks to fill its Superman vacancy, Marvel is on the hunt for a Blade helmer and is combing through the same list. But the question will come down to what kind of filmmaker Bad Robot and Warners want: an up-and-comer who can be backed by Abrams, who knows his way around tentpoles and franchises? Or an established filmmaker like a Barry Jenkins or a Ryan Coogler?

The former list can include Creed II’s Steven Caple Jr., J.D. Dillard, Regina King — who got raves for her drama One Night in Miami — and Shaka King, who is popular at Warners thanks to best picture Oscar nominee Judas and the Black Messiah. Some potential directors have met with both studios for both films, even as one agent said the process was “phenomenally early.” Meanwhile, Coogler may be a nonstarter for either assignment given that he will be occupied with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which releases July 8, 2022.

Coates isn’t expected to deliver his Superman script until mid-December. Likewise, Marvel isn’t rushing with Blade, whose start date was pushed from this September to July 2022, so that the studio can spend time working on the Stacy Osei-Kuffour-penned script.

The Superman film appears to be moving onto its own track and won’t be part of the [DCEU] universe, as of now. Sources tell THR that Coates is crafting a Kal-El in the vein of the original Superman comics and will have the protagonist hail from Krypton and come to Earth. While the story is currently being crafted and many details could change, one option under consideration is for the film to be a 20th century period piece.

Diversity and representation remain key drivers of the DC universe moving forward. Warners is developing a Latino Blue Beetle movie with Angel Manuel Soto attached to direct, and HBO Max is casting for a gay Green Lantern character for an upcoming series. And The CW’s Arrowverse is about to get its second Black female superhero series with Ava DuVernay’s Naomi (Batwoman also features a Black lead, Javicia Leslie) just as Black Lightning is about to wrap its final season.
