New details about the black version of Superman movie: It takes place in the 20th century and has nothing to do with the DC universe

At the end of February this year, news broke that the Superman movie would be rebooted and the protagonist would be a black man. Recently, foreign media Hollywood Reporter announced new details about this rebooted movie, which is set in the 20th century and has nothing to do with the DC universe.

It is reported that regarding the plot of the rebooted film, screenwriter Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing an original story about Superman "Kal-El" arriving on Earth from Krypton. There is also a new idea being considered that the film will be a "20th century period piece." In addition, the current plan is that the film will exist independently of other DC films and will not be part of the existing universe.

It was previously reported that the prolific novelist Ta-Nehisi Coates is working with the famous director JJ.Abrams to restart the Superman movie. What is different from the past is that this time the Superman will be a black man.

Black actor Michael B. Jordan tried to develop a black Superman movie in 2019, but the project did not make much progress at that time. Therefore, the black Superman movie produced by JJ. Abrams may bring back Michael B. Jordan to star.
