HBO's Black Superman TV Series Has Found a Writer

HBO Max is developing a live-action series featuring the "black Superman" Val-Zod, which is produced by Michael B. Jordan's production company Outlier Society for DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television. The project has recently announced the screenwriter: Darnell Metayer & Josh Peters, who just wrote the script for the new Transformers live-action movie "Transformers 7: Rise of the Power Warriors".

Jordan may also star in the show, but there is no confirmed casting information at the moment. Earlier, there were reports that Warner and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot were developing a new Superman movie and wanted Jordan to play Kal-El/Clark Kent, who is known to the public as a white person. However, Jordan was unwilling to participate in the discussion of "changing Superman's race" and was willing to work on the project of Val-Zod, the Earth-2 Superman who is a black human in the comics.

Val-Zod is a superhero of the American DC Comics. He is the Superman of Earth 2. Thomas Wayne and others liberated Val-Zod, the son of General Zod, an orphan of Krypton who was secretly imprisoned by the government, and began to fight against Darkseid's invasion again.
