, which is being written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, with J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella serving as producers. Others who have reportedly been discussed as directors for the project include Jenkins, Ryan Coogler, Steven Caple Jr., J.D. Dillard and Shaka King. Per THR, Warner Bros.
and DC are committed to hiring a Black director for the project, given that it will be the first to ever center on a Black Superman.rumors involving King come on the heels of the announcement that she will be directing an adaptation of the Image Comics series…an adaptation of the acclaimed play by Kemp Powers, which went on to claim three Oscar nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay and Original Song.
These candidates should be introduced to the works of the late Dwayne McDuffie. Then they'll see a black Superman project is dumb when they see the black originals DC own the rights to.
Okay
SuckItWarnerBrothers
I mean a Superman movie would be cool but I'd much rather see her take on Icon (or Augustus Freeman IV).
Much rather have an Icon and Rocket movie. So many great black characters in DC, and WB continues to completely ignore them. Hell, they could just adapt the whole Milestone universe. At least those stories are fresh and have legitimate black stories written by passionate creators
I think Regina King or Shaka King should direct the new Superman movie!
Whatever you can say about it, that new movie's lucky. It gets to follow Man of Steel and Batman v Superman instead of, y'know, following a *good* Superman movie.
SuckItWarnerBrothers.
It’s a short list of very talented up and coming black directors (Oscar bait) ... this is an else world movie set in the 20th century(most likely dealing with racism) it will only be one movie.. if you don’t like that it’s not for you, 👋😃😃
Regina, please don't do it. Watchman was deep. Superman is just silly.
CorpasWriter ANOTHER Superman movie
thank god you replaced the previous effort on this tweet. sounded like it was written by a fifth grader hahah
Won’t watch still. Tired of WBs hypocrisy and bs and it’s clear what they’re trying to do here. Also since JJ Is involved, definitely will be bad.
Shaka King from JudasAndTheBlackMessiah, should get this job.
