The upcoming Superman Reboot in the works from Warner Bros. and DC Films will reportedly take place outside of the DCEU, with the project introducing a new incarnation of Kal-El as the first Black Superman.
If the reports are accurate, Coates’ Superman reboot might take instead more inspiration from the Calvin Ellis version of Kal-El.
Previously, it was announced that Ta-Nehisi Coates was writing the script for a new Superman movie with J. J. Abrams producing.
There have been reports of Warner Bros. developing two separate Batman franchises at the same time, so this new Superman reboot doesn’t necessarily rule out a Cavill return.
