After initially announcing the project at the DC FanDome event back in August, DC and Warner Bros’ Static Shock movie has taken a major leap forward as Emmy nominee Michael B. Jordan (Just Mercy) has signed on to produce the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’m proud to be a part of building a new universe centered around black superheroes; our community deserves that,” Jordan said in a statement.
