Abrams last good movie to me was Star Trek the first one, that's it
Superman Reboot movie produced by JJ Abrams in the works with Coates writing
- Thread starter dakidbanks
- Start date
Abrams' Bad Robot Productions has produced like the last 4 Mission Impossible movies and they were all good movies.
Like I said before as long as he's not directing then I have no issues with his involvement.
I assume this will be a one off/ different universe like Joker?
What is the point of reference for a black superman? is this just a race change or bringing an actual comic story of a black superman to film?

Not really. Cavill was practically unknown by Americans when he was cast. Star power isn't as necessary now as it used be, especially when it comes to popular superhero IPs. If anything superhero films have taken D-C-B-list celebs and make them into global stars.

Yeah, did Cavill work as Superman or did it get mixed reviews, make Dr. Strange level box office? And now apparently he is being replaced. Hopefully, they don't make the same mistake twice.

So, there's a chance that they could make some bank and make White nerds furious at the same time?

If Superman is black, then they should ditch MBJ and go for someone like Abubakar Salim(Assassin's Creed Origins, Raised by Wolves):
With some gym work dude would be perfect.
Dude was great in 'Raised By Wolves' but personally I think there's a lot to be said for MBJ as Clark/Superman.
Sidenote: Never thought of it before, but the parallels between code switching and changing back and forward between Clark and Kal take on a different meaning with a Black lead.

Hit and miss? You need to point me to the hits then because I found all of Coates' comics to be trash. The most interesting stuff he did was the intergalactic Wakanda storyline and even that fell off a cliff sooner than later.
I have no idea what to expect from a combination of his writing with the blandness of everything JJ Abrams touches (regardless of what some people may believe, if something that has his name attached to it was good it happened entirely by accident).
Coates been writing the OG Captain America comic lately so this announcement doesn't automatically mean Black Superman
This ain't it, but it's rumors so 
Give Cavill the fukkin cape back and get MoS2 poppin.
They askin for
if they go through with this.
A GOOD Static Shock script is way more valuable. Can eventually have Stat team up with Shazam and shyt. These dudes are imbeciles at times.

Coates is going to write Black Superman? 
I liked the beginning of Space Black Panther but agree it went off the rails after a while.
And I liked Black Panther & The Crew which is likely because it was only 6 issues before it got canceled.
It seems like Coates doesn't know when to say goodbye to a book so things start off well but then get progressively worse.
I honestly think the whole black Superman thing is a combo of the earlier stories about Michael B. Jordan wanting to do it coupled with Coates being hired to write the new movie script being a case of 1+1 =
Conservative nerds must be having a field day right now, all they do is bytch about woke culture when it has to do with anything that ain't white
