May 1, 2023: "Superman: Legacy" Did Not Kill Off Ta-Nehisi Coates/J.J. Abrams Superman Movie

Back in April 2022 rumors were that writer Ta-Nehisi Coates had submitted his script for the J.J. Abrams produced Superman movie about a black Kal-El/Clark Kent. Then, with everything that has happened since, it was assumed that the project was dead in the wake of the newly announced DC Studios. However that might not be the case...

Speaking with io9, co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn revealed that his new film "Superman: Legacy" doesn't necessarily mean that that other film can't still happen.

"Those two things are totally unrelated," Gunn said. "That's an exciting movie. I know that Chantal Nong, who is the executive on that project, is extremely excited about it. So if it comes in and it's great, which I haven't read the script, and if the timing is right, that could absolutely happen. That's totally unrelated. It would be an Elseworlds tale like Joker."

From what we know, the movie is supposed to be all about a black Kal-El/Clark Kent, with Michael B. Jordan as the actor long rumored connected with the role.
