I like Cavill a lot but he’s not a better actor than Michael Jordan.



I think it should be Clark Kent. It sends a better message. That black Superman ain’t some fringe variation. No, actual proper Superman now is black. No ifs or buts.



I don’t think there’s a chance on hell russo’s direct. The script will definitely be cerebral and discuss the black experience. I dunno if Russo are qualified to tell a story like this.

I 100% the director will be black.

Tell that to Jerry and Joe. Wakanda doesn't exist either. So, should it be reworked as Whitecanya?
