The next Superman movie will feature a black actor in the lead role for the first time ever and a black director at the helm, according to a report Wednesday. Ta-Nehisi Coates, the acclaimed novelist who expanded the world of Wakanda for Marvel comics, is also writing the script and is expected to turn it in to Warner Bros bosses in December.(Snip) J.J. Abrams will produce the new film, but is not among those being considered to direct. A source said that to hand him that role would be 'tone deaf'. 'To be invited into the DC Extended Universe by Warner Bros.,

I don’t suppose that anyone cares whether there were blacks on
Krypton.

I think I'll just wait for the Asian Superman. Now that would be cute.

Fine. If he's a good actor, it may work. Good luck. By the way, does anybody make original movies anymore?

Hollywood has not had an original idea in 25 years. Everything is a sequel, prequel, remake, or reboot.

Why is the theme from Shaft going through my head? Seriously, cultural appropriation is a two-way street.

I am sure it will be as good as the female ghostbusters.

OP, The Phantom was sort of like Black Panther, but not so magical. More of a detective wearing a purple spandexy leotard with hood, eye mask and gun. In the jungle. Even as a kid this didn't make much sense to me.

Let me say it first.
This film will go down in flames in Asia.
We all know why.

I've watched Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, James Earl Jones, the actor in the new movie Without Remorse, not because they are black but because they are good actors who have been in well produced and directed movies, the moment you push a movie because its a black actor, or all female cast or any hybrid of political correctness, the movie is typically garbage. I don't care who is in it as long as its well thought out, please stop trying to correct my "blindness" and let me enjoy the story.

And I'll be sure not to attend. I imagine that it will be a dismal failure at the box office.

I LOVE THIS!!!! A bunch of politically correct Hollywood liberals about to lose a ton of money. Don't forget to make Lois Lane a transgender and Jimmy Olsen a drag queen.

The jokes are coming to mind faster than I can write them, but best to hold off. Suffice to say the memes will be hilarious.

This SuperbLACKman will go directly to video where Netflix will feature it as a BlackLivesMatter special.

I'm sick and tired of seeing blacks displayed over all advertisements and shows. You'd think the entire country was 95% black.

Really looking forward to the Screen Rant Pitch Meeting You Tube parody of this turkey. If Google allows it to be posted, that is.

This is what Hollywood should have been doing all along. I firmly believe they have been the "racist" segment in society along with the companies/corporations who are now becoming woke. This has a lot to do with how much God has been guiding an individual's life and that would be apparent in how you treat your neighbor. After all, we are to love God with all our heart, mind, and soul; along with that, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

And of course Perry White will no longer be the Editor of the Daily Planet for obvious reasons. Oh can we reboot Shaft with a white actor? Would that be a problem?

Good idea, #26. I nominate Ron White for the role.

When you can't invent something of your own, go ahead and steal it. Nice attitude on the tone-deaf; "this production am bLACK only, mo' less." Meanwhile, imagine the howls of pain from The Community if anyone merely suggested there should be a WHITE Black Panther.
