Abrams<\/strong> have begun development on a feature film that will introduce an African American version of <strong>Clark Kent \/ Kal-El\u2019s Superman<\/strong> to the big screen for the first time in cinematic history. Ever since the project\u2019s initial development was announced, fans have naturally gravitated towards fan casting actor <strong>Michael B. Jordan<\/strong> for the role given his favorable track record with impactful roles in critically acclaimed franchises such as <strong><em>Creed<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Black Panther<\/em><\/strong>. Even the actor\u2019s past comments addressing the rumors have certainly suggested Jordan having a genuine interest in the character, which you can check out down below in a interview he conducted with <strong>Oprah Winfrey<\/strong> back in February of 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael B.

The report goes on to state that the production company has already moved ahead hiring an unnamed writer who is currently working on the script for the project as a limited time series. Although the headline would suggest that Jordan will not only produce the project, but star in it as well, the report confirms that the actor has yet to officially commit on the latter. In the <strong>DC Comics Multiverse<\/strong>, Val-Zod is the Superman of <strong>Earth-2<\/strong>, which saw Val-Zod taking up the mantle after Kal-El perished, making Zod the sole survivor of Krypton. Zod isn\u2019t the only African American incarnation of Superman in the comics, as the Superman of <strong>Earth-23<\/strong>, <strong>Calvin Ellis<\/strong>, also shares that mantle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/348DB840-C46D-45F0-8DD4-51BAF15E10B7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/348DB840-C46D-45F0-8DD4-51BAF15E10B7.jpeg 790w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/348DB840-C46D-45F0-8DD4-51BAF15E10B7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/348DB840-C46D-45F0-8DD4-51BAF15E10B7-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><figcaption>The African American Supermen in the DC Comics Multiverse, Calvin Ellis (on the left) and Val-Zod (on the right).

Jordan eventually left the Warners tent and the studio later handed the reins to J.J. Abrams, who brought in Ta-Nehisi Coates.<\/p><cite><em>THR\u2019s Heat Vision<\/em> on the reasoning behind WB\u2019s reluctance towards Jordan\u2019s African American Superman film. Via <em>THR\u2019s Heat Vision<\/em>. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report goes on to detail that sometime after the initial pitch, HBO Max approached Jordan to gage his interest in developing the project for their streaming service. Along with the newly announced Val-Zod project, it\u2019s been previously <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/film\/news\/michael-b-jordan-static-shock-movie-1234808211\/\">reported<\/a> that Jordan is also set to produce the <strong>Static Shock<\/strong> film for HBO Max as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It certainly appears that Warner Bros. will take full advantage of their catalog of <strong>Kryptonian<\/strong> characters over the next few years in multiple incarnations of media. These iterations include <strong>Supergirl<\/strong>, portrayed by <strong>Sasha Calle<\/strong> in <strong>Andy Muschietti<\/strong>\u2019s highly anticipated <strong><em>Flash<\/em><\/strong> film, <strong>Krypto<\/strong> portrayed by <strong>Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson<\/strong> in the upcoming <strong><em>DC\u2019s League of SuperPets<\/em><\/strong> animated film, <strong>Superboy<\/strong> who is currently portrayed by <strong>Joshua Orphin<\/strong> in HBO Max\u2019s <strong><em>Titans<\/em><\/strong> series. Of course, one can not forget the persisting rumors of <strong>Henry Cavill<\/strong>\u2019s future, or lack of there of, in reprising the Superman role whether in the current <strong>DC Cinematic Universe<\/strong> or even in the <strong>SnyderVerse<\/strong> should corporate interest resurrect in that corner of the DC Universe. In addition to all these different interpretations, these two separate iterations of the African American Superman that are reportedly in development with J.J. Abrams and Michael B. Jordan are bound to generate a considerable amount of buzz within the fan base. Nonetheless, it certainly seems like HBO Max has evolved into a viable platform for the sheer amount of diverse characters within the DC Universe whose stories have not yet been told on screen. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What do you guys think of Michael B.

While I have a personal connection to quite literally everything within the \"nerd - verse\", I am particularly interested in all the inner workings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Cinematic Universe, and a Galaxy Far Far Away. I have my personal page on Instagram, theculturedworldofdc, that posts anything and everything that has to do with the DCU, so go ahead and give that a follow. Looking forward to sharing my passion with you guys.
