So while we await an official response from the production companies or anyone involved with the film, it's worthwhile to think of the possibilities. Because it really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that DC could be thinking of bringing a Black Superman to the big screen. This wouldn't even be the first conversation about him. There were rumors that Michael B. Jordan ( Black Panther, Creed) was in talks to play the character back in late 2019, though nothing materialized (so far, at least). You can see why Warner Bros., which owns DC, could be interested in a Black Superman — not just for what it could represent but from a business perspective.
