So, it looks like we are getting a new Superman movie? According to an exclusive from Shadow and Act, the studio is bringing Ta-Nehisi Coates in to write a new Superman feature film. Now, this is reported to be in very early development. There’s no start or release date. But, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot is set to produce the film, along with Hanna Minghella.
There’s no director attached and no actor attached either.
Coates expressed in a statement:
“To be invited into the DC Extended Universe by Warner Bros., DC Films and Bad Robot is an honor. I look forward to meaningfully adding to the legacy of America’s most iconic mythic hero.”
J.J. Abrams also stated:
“There is a new, powerful and moving Superman story yet to be told. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with the brilliant Mr. Coates to help bring that story to the big screen, and we’re beyond thankful to the team at Warner Bros. for the opportunity.”
Toby Emmerich, the Chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group; stated:
“Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me opened a window and changed the way many of us see the world. We’re confident that his take on Superman will give fans a new and exciting way to see the Man of Steel.”
