According to foreign media reports, a black version of Superman episodes is in development. There have been previous reports that Michael M. B. Jordan will star in a Warner, DC Superman movie, and now Collider has exclusively revealed that Jordan and his production company, Outsider Society, are already developing a Superman series for HBO Max, featuring not clark Kent, the race-converted black version of the previously written race, but Val-Zod, the black superman of Earth 2 in the comics.
Foreign media wrote in the report that the Outlier Society has hired a screenwriter to do the project, but did not disclose who the screenwriter is. At this stage, the project is not a movie, but is developed on the scale of a limited drama. Jordan will be a producer and may also star, but whether to star has not yet been officially determined.
Previously, there had been news that Warner and J. J. Abrams' Bad Robot Company is working on a black superman movie featuring Kal-El/Clark Kent, who is well known to moviegoers, but the public perception is that Kal-El, who is white, will be played by a black actor this time, and the producer hopes to be Jordan, and the screenwriter has invited the well-known writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.
There has also been a steady stream of news that Michael S. B. Jordan did participate in the development of the project, but he denied confirming the appearance in an interview, saying he would wait and see.
