While no director or star has yet been announced there are several candidates. Coates, who expanded the world of Wakanda for Marvel, will write the script. After his name was linked with the role, Michael B. Jordan said in late April: 'I'm flattered that people have me in that conversation'.
Just because his father wasn't around? well!
Why? Why? Why? Where is this heading towards?
they can just picked black guy that would have been fine but calling superman will be black its surely not right never heared of white superman
Ok ...
Next in line Black FDR. 👍👍👍
Ya... Like Marvel has made Falcon n Winter Soldier as BLM
Just because Superman is the most popular? What about a black Ant Man, Quicksilver, Cyclops, etc?
I knew you racists will never make an Asian superman
Who cares. We only care if the movie is good.
Can we get a white lead for black panther?
The box office taking will tell, people speak more and more with their money than wasting time talking publicly and arguing with the woke lefties.
What rubblish who thought if that idea
He's from uptown Crip-town
yawn...
Cool. I look forward to the 'White Panther' movie right after that, too.
Black is your mind
I don’t want a female james bond & I don’t want a black superman. I don’t agree with changing the character’s personal details. Just like how I don’t want a white dude playing the Black Panther. It just doesn’t seem authentic.
Great! I can hardly wait to miss it!
Will the next black panther be white?
Ridiculous
Yawn...
I'm a black man and I don't care to see a black superman. It's like seeing a Chinese as James Bond. The dominant society could keep their superheroes, give us another Black Panther or something else.. I'm not too fussed over their man.
of course he is, makes total sense currently.
That’s racist!!!
VeryBAD , Very Bad, .. and then, next coming need to be a White and Blond BlackPanther ... that will not Like to the BLACK PEOPLE ....
In few year from now im pretty sure is going to be a mexican who will be superman
Bollocks superman is white,barrack Obama is black you can’t have a white actor playing Obama
First Thor became a female now this nonsense. Why not just create new superheroes
Clowns. 🤡🤡🤡 I'm black and I'm not down with this
Surprise, surprise 🙄
Hope it will be Box Office disaster.
It's fiction ffs black or white. it's not like its Anne Boleyn.. On the other hand would black folk like a white panther.. Some roles suit different race's It would be pretty boring one without the other don't you think.
When is a Black Dude gonna play a Mexican?
Superperson.
Go woke go broke.
Really their looking for a black director instead of a good director? I can understand why their using a black Superman because flash broke the timeline but should’ve been green lantern 🤷♀️
As superman is a fictional character I dont see why he can't be black. If you are portraying a real person then they need to be the colour they actually were or are. Can you imagine the uproar if we made Martin Luther king Chinese or white. Or Henry the 8th white or Indian.
I would prefer brown Superman with thick Indian accent.
Steal your rims faster than a speeding bullet 😂😂
Why not start something new 🤔🤔
Let’s have all superheroes be black then. Why not creating new ones instead? Nonsense really.
White actors always play the lead roles of pharaoh Kings - what's the big issue with this fictional character
Not watching!
Steel?
😳😳😳😳🤢🤢🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆🤣🤣 también falta Spiderman Negro Acuaman Negro y un Agente 007 también negro powerrr Blackkkkk!
I don’t see the problem. All children need heroes to look up and we need to stop seeing people’s colour, his acting is what should count.
Jesus guys, why all the negativity. This is not Clark Kent. Its an alternative universe Superman which is in the original comic books. Will be cool.
Makes no sense
Black people get white hand-me-downs. White people get original characters and stories.
It seems like the only change the black community receives is entertainment and this will not provide stability for impoverished black young men. We must stop asking our children to live in poverty and be inspired by imaginary characters.
This’ll do great at the Chinese box office... Great business decision.
And where we are going to have a white black Panther
Not everything needs to be diversified. Somethings are simply meant to be as they are. People need to calm their shit down every now and then.
gregghoulden They really missed a trick. A Straight White Clark Kent transitioning to a Gay Black Superman should have been a no-brainer.
I hope he's gender fluid too. I'm confident that's what the comic authors would have wanted.
Well that’s a tad racist to start with.
That’s not historically accurate! The real Superman was a white guy! It’s well documented!
Flop!
Really just really they go on about whitewashing in movies but now this shits getting ridiculous
I’m offended, why didn’t they just name it Superpeople?
Pure stupidity......lead to anything should not be based on race. Everyone interested should audition for the role. Wokeness is destroying meritocracy in every facet of life. Institutions are being destroyed. End times is truly upon us.
Mad pandering. The character created by Siegel & Shuster in 1938 was white with same parentage. I agree with inclusivity but to totally wipe away his whiteness for reasons of inclusion is destructive. Can a white actor play Marvel's 'Panther', no he can't!
I can already see this film flopping
Well it is a fictional character so he could be purple with yellow spots but considering that the majority of the audience will be white males who think this social experiment is another dig at them I’m sure it will flop at the box office..
They are still making superman films! Surely time to finish the old superheroes and start with new ones?
That's silly.
Fucking racists
oonga boonga bLacK gOoD wHiTe bAd
Keep digging.
That's just forcing something that isn't going to work. I'm all for diversity and inclusivity but Superman is an iconic character and shouldn't be messed with.
If its not broken don't fix it.
As long as the actor they pick is good what's the big deal with what difference they make the colour of a made up character is
Black people should learn to make their own things and build their own franchises. It works better that way and they have succeede better that than being being forced into the white people's things. This is what makes many white people feel insecure.
In other news, in the new Martin Luther King movie, they plan on using a blonde haired, blue eyed white lady. It’s all relative I suppose.
This is ridiculous!
It seems that Kal-El was burned while escaping from the Kryptonian blast.
Parallel World Superman
wow! progress! We can't stop until ALL actors and directors are African!
Is piersmorgan posting soon?
Will he be renamed to 'Superperson' and also be gender fluid?
Come on, make Superman body positive too!
