During this day it was confirmed that Warner Bros. is developing a project of superman reboot at the cinema. Rumors already suggest that it will be a film that for the first time will have a black protragonist.

The first sign of that route was delivered by the revelation that the film’s writer will be the writer. Ta-Nehisi Coates, a respected author and journalist who in various media, such as Time magazine, addressed the problem of white supremacists and the challenges for African Americans.

Hence, his passage through the comics led him to be involved with two black heroes: Black Panther, in the stage that began in 2016, and Sam Wilson, who took the shield during his time in command of the regular series of the Captain America.

Although media like Deadline did not play with an exit from Henry Cavill, in other portals they reinforced that the new film will really focus on a black Superman.

That was postulated by The Hollywood Reporter, who assured that “according to sources, the project is being configured as a story of a black Superman, something that Michael B. Jordan tried to do with the study in 2019.”

Along these lines, reporter Boris Kit explained that the idea of ​​the black Superman in a movie is something that the studio “has been trying to find for months, if not a year or two.”

Michael B. Jordan tried to develop a project of a black Superman when he first came to the studio with his contract in 2019, but that did not go very far at the time according to sources. It is possible that the studio will return to him to star later, “he added.

In September 2018, during the dispute between Henry Cavill and the stadium, it was revealed that Warner Bros. had already considered Michael B. Jordan for the role of Man of Steel.

The idea of ​​a black Superman is no stranger to the comics. During the time of writer Grant Morrison, in the reboot of “The New 52” at the beginning of the last decade, it was shown that the Superman of a parallel land is African American.

In Action Comics # 9, published in 2012, was submitted to Calvin ellis, whose Kryptonian name is Kalel, who is not a journalist, since his day-to-day role is to be the President of the United States. Hence his appearance is based on Barack Obama.

At the same time, Morrison had established the idea by presenting a black Superman during the final battle of the Final Crisis event, where he and other men of steel from the Multiverse come to save existence.

For now, details of the history of the new film are officially unknown and it is only clear that it will be produced by JJ Abrams, who has a millionaire deal with the WarnerMedia conglomerate.
