Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, no it’s a plane, nah bruh, it’s just actor Michael B. Jordan in talks to play the first black Superman for DC comics. The Black Panther star recently met with executives of DC comics and Warner Pictures to discuss the possibility of him taking on the role as the man of steel on planet earth.
The opportunity presented itself for the actor after former Superman star Henry Cavill decided he didn’t want to continue to play the role of the man of steel after he was denied an opportunity to appear in another DC movie Shazam due to scheduling conflicts. If in fact Jordan is picked to play the popular role, it would be the first time a black man has played such an important comic book character. Additionally with the success of Michael B. Jordan’s other roles, he would certainly be a box office draw.
The only thing that would prevent him from playing the role would be kryptonite.
