Is it a bird, is it a plane? Nope, It’s Michael B. Jordan possibly heading to Warner Bros.’ Worlds of DC. As the studio still tries to get back on its feet after the box office bomb that was Justice League, the DC movie slate is in a constant state of flux.

While Todd Phillips’ Joker has helped redeem the tatters of the DC Extended Universe, there’s high hopes for Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman 2, and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. There’s currently a Superman-shaped hole in our lives, so could the Black Panther star fill it?

Variety reveals that Jordan has met with J.J. Abrams, his Bad Robot production company, and Warner Bros. about reinvigorating the Metropolis Marvel. However, the site notes that there are no plans for a new Superman movie until at least 2023, there’s no script, and there’s no director attached.

As Variety explains, “Jordan isn�t ready to commit to taking on the project since filming doesn�t seem likely to happen for several years and he has a full dance card of projects.”

Considering the 32-year-old is also a hot tip to reprise his role as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther 2, is it even possible for him to juggle the tight schedule of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the rebranded Worlds of DC?

Only recently, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave an update on Black Adam. The Fast and Furious star is due to suit up as the DC supervillain in 2021, but all eyes are on whether Superman will also appear. Considering Black Adam and the Man of Steel have a complicated comic book history, fans are eagerly anticipating the two will lock horns on the silver screen.

It could be a great time to introduce a ‘new’ Superman, but let’s not forget Henry Cavill. Although it looked like he was done after Justice League, The Witcher lead told Men’s Health, “I�ve not given up the role.”

Warner Bros.

Abrams signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. giving him some serious sway in the Worlds of DC. Given that the Lost creator wrote a script for Superman: Flyby in 2002, there’s a sense of justice that Abrams could be the one to usher Superman into a new era of cinematic history.

There’s no denying Michael B. Jordan would be a popular choice to put on a pair of red underwear over his tights, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
