Michael B. Jordan wants to be your next Clark Kent!

According to Variety, the Black Panther actor pitched an idea for a new take DC Universe’s Superman to Warner Bros. earlier this year. The meeting was likely part of the first-look deal that Jordan’s production company, Outlier Society, signed with Warner Bros. in January.

And although it is not clear if Warner Bros. would move forward with the idea, nothing will likely come into fruition until 2023 as a screenwriter and director have yet to be attached.

Jordan’s work schedule is also packed for the next few years.

Until then DC Films has a slew of movies coming out in 2020, including Birds of Prey, a Batman reboot and Wonder Woman 1984.

What do you think of the idea of a Black “Man of Steel?”
