SUPERMAN star Henry Cavill has reportedly parted with Warner Bros amid news that Black Panther star Michael B Jordan is the hot favourite to take over as the Man of Steel.




quote:

Deadline added: "The word has been out that Warner Bros has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time, even considering casting Michael B Jordan in the role down the road."

Michael B Jordan is already joint favourite at 3/1 with Colin O'Donogue.


quote:

William Hill then puts Sam Claflin in third place at 6/1.

Four actors shared odds at 10/1 – Armie Hamer, Channing Tatum, Cillian Murphy and Donald Glover.

Black superman isnt a bad idea, but I think Michael B. Jordan is a bad idea.

I'm confused, is it ok to change the race (gender/sexual orientation/whatever other important demographic progressives obsess over) of an established character or not?

Agreed

Give me Michael Jai White, he was bad arse in the Undisputed series

They might say he a little old, but that guy is fricking ripped and still kicks arse IRL

Edit just looked at his age.. he's 50

Dumb

Lets just make all the characters black and gay.

That will solve all societal ills.

Can't have a straight actor play a gay character but a black guy playing a white character is ok.

That's the hypocrisy I love.

They all want to be black Superman.

None of them want to be black Aquaman or Hawkeye.

Those movies kinda sucked so a different direction is fine. That said, Henry Cavil looked the part thats for sure

While I haven't seen Black Panther, I have seen, and do enjoy, Michael B Jordan as an actor. I liked his role in Chronicle (great movie).

I think the frick given comes in at the apparent lack of standards. Turn a traditionally black character white and see what happens.

I personally do not care enough to have a say with respect to the standard, make it to where anyone can be anyone or make it to where the actors selected need to mirror the original characters more closely... Whatever... Just make sure its a standard and not, "It's ok when we're replacing a white character but not ok any other time". sort of deal.

I’d actually watch a 70s style Blaxploitation movie of Blackerman and Blackman taking on Black Luthor and the Black Joker.

yes.

Crazy to think that if he gets this role, he will have roles in the MCU and DCU + fox FF.
