MBJ as Stewart is right there for the taking

It should have been Idris.

As long as it’s not clark kent

Why not? They can use the secret identity dynamic as a commentary on code switching.

Clarktavious Kent

I can see them doing that

Not a fan of changing an already existing character ethnicity. Superman can be a mantle like captain American or w/e I’m on the fence about this one

It should have been Idris.

shyt, even better.

Hopefully they choose well.

Really want Stat instead of this.

But please don't do Black Kal-El.

And keep Abrams away.

No wonder MBJ passed on this. He knew to steer clear of the bullshyt this movie will attract

This put Marvel on the Hot Seat. Recast T'Challa! T'Challa is one of Marvel Most Powerful Man in Marvel Universe, and DC doing a Black Superman is giving Black Children who never heard of Val Zod another Strong Black Man Image that they had with T'Challa that they can be proud of

They did just make Captain America Black and gave him his own movie. Let's see who makes it to theaters first.

Any popular Black actor with a shred of common sense would stay away from this. The pressure on this film will be insane. It will have to be great, not simply serviceable or mediocre. If it fails then it will take whoever headlines it down with it.

Hasn't this been DC's problem tho? Until recently, they have been risk averse and content with just doing different iterations of Batman over and over. They need to put their nuts in the table for something.

such a clown studio my god

While I don't care if Superman is black looking at his announcement about Kal-el being black leaves open the possibility that they could still be using the Calvin Ellis character since he is Kal-el in his universe.

Funny you mention that. in the THR article this article sourced, the studio is definitely putting a gay GL in the GL HBO Max show.

Didn't know that

Did they say who? But knowing the trend wouldn't be surprise if they make John Stewart the one

They are using Alan Scott in the GL TV show and going with the version that is gay.
