In February it was announced that JJ Abrams was preparing for Superman’s reboot of Warner Bros. At the time it was revealed that no actor had signed for the film, but rumors once again referred to Michael B. superhero. After weeks of speculation, the actor broke his silence.

In an interview with Jake’s Takes, Jordan was asked if it was true that he would play Superman. “I hear the rumors and all of that and I take it as a compliment. I appreciate that people think of me that way in these roles. I don’t have anything else to say about him, but whatever or if he really is, I think it would be an interesting thing.”

Recently, the actor gave another interview to Cinepop and made similar statements. “I don’t know. I don’t really know what’s going on with this particular thing, but I think everyone’s desire to see black characters in protagonist roles is very important. Acting is important.”

With or without Jordan, Abrams will produce the new Superman movie, which Ta-Nehisi Coates will write. At the moment there is no manager associated with the project.

For his part, Jordan is indulging in his first directorial appearance, and will go behind the scenes in Creed III, a production in which he will also star, repeating his role as Adonis Creed. In addition, he awaits his release without remorse; what if …? , A Marvel novel where he will give life again to Eric Kilmonger; Jordan Magazine directed by Denzel Washington. And Methuselah, directed by Danny Boyle.
