I agree with you so I'm not sure what convo you're trying to have here?

I agree with you too thats the whole point of replying to you. Let your guard down my boy

I know this site has a surplus of contrarian fukk nikkas but you made a good point about the optics of Superman being anything other than lily white

 

[Cuban Pete]

Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing it
JJ Abrams is attached somehow too

Is he still writing it or was he just attached when the MBJ rumors where swirling? Coates not Abrams

as of Dec 2022 yeah

Warners has also been developing a Black superman film written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams, and Gunn’s new movie is said to not have an impact on that project, with Coates still working on the script.

James Gunn Writing Superman Movie

The project will focus on the hero in his younger days, and will star an actor other than Henry Cavill.

So I just saw a Gunn interview thats dated from May 2nd 2023 that yea that movie is still on, Coates still writing, Abrams still producing and that its gonna be a one-and-done Elseworlds movie like the Joker was supposed to be until its massive success.

Ta-Nehisi Coates' long-awaited Superman film has gotten an update. In a recent i09 interview, filmmaker James Gunn shared that Coates' film, also produced by J.J. Abrams would be a standalone movie, not impacted by Gunn's Superman: Legacy, which is expected to release on July 11, 2025.

“Those two things are totally unrelated,” Gunn told io9. “That’s an exciting movie. I know that Chantal Nong, who is the executive on that project, is extremely excited about it. So if it comes in and it’s great, which I haven’t read the script, and if the timing is right, that could absolutely happen. That’s totally unrelated. It would be an Elseworlds tale like Joker.”

Elseworlds is a DC imprint that will feature movies outside of the main DCU cannon. News of Coates' project was revealed in 2021, with Creed III actor Michael B. Jordan rumored as the star. While it hasn't been confirmed if the script is complete, the storyline will allegedly be a "period piece," centering a Black Superman and following Kal-El during the 20th century. The film, which was last given an update in December of last year, will be the first DC live-action project to feature the Man of Steel as a different ethinicity.

No director has been attached, but in May 2021, insiders at Warner and DC told the THR that they're dedicated to finding a Black filmmaker "to tackle what will be the first cinematic incarnation of Superman featuring a Black actor.”

As for Superman: Legacy, Gunn hit the Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 red carpet last month and shared that there's "really great choices" up for the role.


Get Coogler and Jonathan Majors

Edit: But hold up... if its a period piece in the 20th century about a Black Superman... its basically gonna be Red Son but instead of Superman landing in the Soviet Union, hes gonna land in Tulsa and grow up during the Civil Rights era

We might actually see the legendary comic moments like when Superman beat up the klan or Superman boxing Ali

Superman is lame..

They need to reboot his whole damn existence .

Have him like a video game character..he only can use his powers for like 10mins at a time or some ish

Or for him to use his full strength full capability powers he has to detach himself from human emotions on some Zaheer ..Avatar:Korra ish.

He can't love if he ever wants to have full powers.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Why is Lois always ugly ?

She's a journalist...

Don't you gotta be an annoying,insufferable, nosy woman who is good at writing essays .

Good looking women want to be on TV..not behind the scenes writing .

Why is Lois always ugly ?

I'm sayin

I still every time I watch Snyder Superman move heaven and earth for Amy Adams

I don't like Superman as a character, but I loved Man of Steel. I wish Henry Cavill got a trilogy and not that Batman vs. Superman/Justice League garbage. That Superman universe would've been nice with Brainiac and a proper Lex Luthor.

The whole thing was supposed to be a character arc for Clark/Superman from Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League 1 & 2, Man of Steel 2
