There have been rumors that DC intends to make a movie of "Black Superman" a long time ago, and after the first phase of the "Gods and Monsters" project officially announced by the new DCU before, the existence of the series is not high, but in fact, the development and production of the film has not stopped, but has been going on behind the scenes since 2021.
In a previous interview, James Gunn publicly hammered the news, saying that director Ta-Nessy Coates' "Black Superman" will be produced by J.J., and said that while confirming the development progress of the film "Superman: Legacy", he has not yet had time to see the script of "another movie".
But at the same time, "Rolling Guide" also said that if the script is finally passed, it will be a story of "Another World" (previously Rolling Director said that "Black Superman" was a DC Otherworld plot):
"These two things are completely unrelated. It was an exciting movie. I know Chantal Nong, the executive of the project, is very excited about this. So although I haven't read the script, if it comes in and it's great and well-timed, it's definitely going to be made. Of course, this has nothing to do with the DC overworld, it will be an otherworldly story like "Joker". ”
Here is a little explanation to some friends who have not paid attention to the new stage setting of DC before:
The subsequent works of the new DCU under the control of the rolling guide can be roughly divided into the main world and the other world, in other words, the film works developed by the main plot of the DC universe will be summarized into the main universe sequence, and film works similar to "Joker 2019", including "Black Superman" that are relatively independent of the main universe, will be summarized as "DC other world" works.
This is somewhat similar to the difference between the previous DC cinematic universe and the independent fan universe.
Of course, for the current "Black Superman" that DC is still developing, there are still many differences in the attitude of many fans on the Internet, some people think that this is the "independent fan" and the main universe plot is no different, so the attitude does not matter, and some think that DC is also starting to play the rhythm of political struggle, so that the DC classic characters are blackened, which is bound to bring a wave of fan backlash.
Ahem~ In fact, I personally think that although Hollywood is now "blackened", as long as it does not affect the setting of the main universe, there is actually no big problem, or more simply:
We are not against black actors, in fact, there are many actors with first-class acting skills in the black group, what we really oppose is to forcibly change the character attributes of the original work and blacken regardless of the setting of the original work, which is what we should really resist.
As for the original news of the "Black Superman" character?
In fact, I remember talking about the "Black Superman" character information of the DC universe in the push a long time ago, roughly speaking, Val-Zod is what we call "Black Superman", he is Superman on Earth 2, we should be able to guess from his first name and surname, the other himself is also the son of General Krypton Zod, first appeared in the 19th issue of "Earth 2" in 2014, and is also one of the survivors after the destruction of Krypton.
On the origin -
Farr Zod, like Superman, including Supergirl, was sent to Earth before the destruction of Kryptonite, but because he spent more time during the flight, Farr Zod, like Superwoman Kara, arrived on Earth later than Superman.
Interestingly, when Fal Zodd came to Earth, the timeline on Earth during this period has come to the timeline of Superman and Darkseid's death after the war, because Fal Zod also accepted the spacecraft's own teaching system during the flight, so although there is a villain father, Fal Zod himself is a pacifist and chose to hide his abilities after landing on Earth.
And at the same time -
After Superman's death, Steppenwolf invaded Earth with Superman's clone "Brutal", but what he didn't expect was that the clone Superman directly killed Steppenwolf against the water and then carpeted the hero characters on Earth 2 in order to monopolize Earth 2.
In order to fight against this superhuman clone, Batman of Earth 2, that is, the father of Bruce Wayne in the main universe, Thomas Wayne, accidentally discovered Fal Zod hidden on Earth 2 during this period when summoning superheroes on Earth to fight against Superman Clones.
Obviously, the discovery of a real Kryptonian, the rest was handed over to the "mouth escape", and finally under the mouth of Batman and others, Fal Zod finally put on a superman cloak, killed the superhuman clone, and then became the "black superman" on Earth 2.
As for whether the follow-up DC side will be filmed according to the original plot, we don't know for the time being, we can only wait a little longer, the current "Superman: Legacy" will be released on July 11, 2025, that is, production will begin in early 2024 at the latest, which means that if the plan remains unchanged, the "Black Superman" movie will be released for a longer time.
