DC Television Michael B. Jordan Developing Val Zod Limited Series For HBO Max

[Boy Scout]

This pleases me.

 

[Kev4000]

So we have Supergirl and now this but there is no place for Henry Cavill? Poor guy, must felt really betrayed.

 

[Boy Scout]

I mean, I doubt this’ll happen, but if they do an adaptation of the Earth 2 comic series, he can cameo as the original Superman.

 

[super85]

Not a big fan of Michael B Jordan, but I am somewhat interested in this, because the comic book character is a interesting concept.

I can see myself giving this one a chance. I will of course skip that other JJ Abrams related project.

So hoping this will be good, and that they somehow manage to keep the quality up on Superman&Lois. I really want to be able to watch that show,and not have it to turn into "Morons in cosplay leather in rainy vancouver rooftops" like all the other Arrowverse shows have turned into very quickly after their premieres.

 

[vantheman77]

There is room for different incarnations of Superman on TV and film.

 

[super85]

Like I have said before, I think the best thing for the whole line would be to just have one incarnation. So it does not water down the brand. But WB unfortunately does not care about that.

This one I can accept since its a different character.

Can you imagine a Superman multiverse movie with Henry Cavill Superman, Sasha Calle Supergirl, and Michael B. Jordan Superman that's like the Spider-Man Spider-Verse?

You mean something like this?

This was back in 2017, so Spidyverse wasn't the first to think of it. Also, didn't CW do something similar a few years back? Or am I imagining things?

I mean yeah, of course Into the Spider-Verse wasn't the first multiverse, DC have been doing it since '61.

As for CW, yeah--

 

[vantheman77]

We can have a Superman multiverse movie or TV show.

Honestly, this whole multiverse thing could deteriorate (VERY quickly) into a gimmick but will have to wait for no way home and Flashpoint to say for sure. Thus far we've had the CW Supermen cross-over which was (apparently) very silly and cheap looking and into the spidyverse, which was amazing.
Those 2 are prime examples (at extreme ends), with the former being a pure gimmick and the latter being a good movie made for the purpose of telling a good story.

This seems like it quietly died a while ago; but maybe WB should revive this with MBJ's star rising with Sinners. Or lock him down with another DC property, maybe?

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

I don't see a scenario where there's a second version of Superman out there with Warner Bros. trying, however they will, to make this DCU work. Sure, there's the multiverse and Elseworlds stories, but Superman and Lois ended even though that could have continued.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Yeah, this won't be happening. It should happen. But it won't.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It should be a series if anything.

 

[NotToday]

Definitely a series.

Yes, it's another Superman, but I think that it can be different enough so that's it's not a "competition". (Different character, format, continuity, etc.)

But, yeah, it's a longshot. But MBJ's clout is growing.

 

[Mysteryman]

So,is there a script!?

 

[NotToday]

So,is there a script!?

A some point there was, probably. But there hasn't been news since 2021. I'm hoping it gets back in development.

The problem is if you do it now.
It would have to be a multiverse tale.
Not sure the general public will buy that.

According to a report featured in The Wall Street Journal, a screenplay written by Coates and produced by Abrams for a Black Superman film, was said to be "too woke" by Zaslav, which was why the project was ultimately canned. The film was meant to be a standalone period piece set during the American civil rights era.

That’s disappointing. Even if they released it as a cartoon I wouldn’t still watch
