Michael B. Jordan Producing 'Static Shock' Film

[Dr. Narcisse]

I'd trust Coogler to direct it

Only way Static would have swag

Rick Famuyiwa who did The Wood and Dope would have made a great Static Shock as well.

At this point just make sure he's in the Teen Titans movie. I'm OK with them aging up Cyborg and letting Michael B Jordan play him.

Bad choice of character to produce.

Icon & Rocket (w. Jonathan Majors, Meagan Good) >>

Static shock is a generic weak character with stereotypical lightning powers like most black super heroes (a watered down black lightning).

But honestly after Wakanda forever, I don't trust them 2 with any black superheroes. I'll take Jordan Peele over them.

A republican leaning black alien? That's not gonna go over well today unless they cut that off.

It was still a well made film even if it wasn’t what fans wanted

They need to make it like the 90s comic and not the watered down animated series.

Yeah they would be hard to do in a modern day setting without him coming off c00nish.

I don’t know if its an issue with the rights between the Mcduffie estate and Milestone comics or what but a Static Shock movie should have BEEN happened.

Milestone were first beefing with each other, then McDuffie's widow was beefing with Milestone, then it was her vs DC/Milestone since they (Milestone) excluded McDuffie estate from the revival. DC didn't want to really touch that character with all of that, which is why he was buried. There's so much red tape involving the character...

Funny enough Michael B. Jordan. The action sequences in Creed III were very well done. I appreciate that he isn't afraid to use influences from other media like animation.

Also Juel Taylor who did They Cloned Tyrone. The movie was a a great genre film that incorporated comedy well, which is what all these superhero films are right now.

That's a tough one because you right. Hollywood is on some bs when it comes to black stories.

I honestly don't know of anyone outside of Coogler that has worked on black superheroes.

If this was Marvel and we said Blue Marvel, I would mention Kevin Grevioux. Or with Miles Morales, Donald Glover.

For this character, I don't know how much of a fan Antoine Fuqua is but I would give him Milestone projects. He's been 10/10 so far and that new Michael Jackson movie looks based on the trailer.
