Is Michael B. Jordan’s talked about Superman movie taking flight at Warner Bros.? On Friday, best-selling author and comic book writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and producer J.J. Abrams of Bad Robot confirmed a Superman reboot that Coates says will “meaningfully [add] to the legacy of America’s most iconic mythic hero.” After Abrams promised a “new, powerful and moving Superman story,” THR’s Borys Kit reported the studio would revisit its plans for the “Black Superman project” that Jordan pitched in 2019. When Oprah Winfrey asked Jordan whether he would be the next Superman in a 2019 interview, the Black Panther star said it was “flattering and humbling” to be rumored for the role before Winfrey asked: “Would you like to be Superman?”
Michael B. Jordan tried to develop a Black Superman project when he first arrived to the studio with his deal in 2019 but that did not go very far at the time, according to sources. It is possible that the studio could return to him to star down the line. https://t.co/0Z38vfs5eH
