I would’ve been skeptical of Regé after only Bridgerton, but his SNL hosting gig actually sold me. He’s got the chops (and charm), imo.
He's my pick for Bond.
Honestly, now that there’s a multiverse at their disposal, my hope would be that they either use Calvin Ellis or Val Zod rather than taking the easy route and race-lifting Clark.
Yes, it's totally nonsense to make Clark Kent black.
It's purely political - the states, the media wants to tell you it's so racially divided. The media and government want to tell you black folk and minorities have a snow fakes chance in hell in succeeding and to make Superman, America's greatest pop icon Black... it's just pure lazy and on the nose.
What an insult to every other minority that the get 'overlooked' every time - it's always black v white in the media.
They missed a perfect opportunity when Snyder rushed to the Death of superman - JL should have been put on hold and a world without superman film could have been inspiring - John Henry Irons, Steel. Superboy could have even been a gender neutral clone called 'superZe' whatever man, have some fun and represent - but instead they want to reboot superman from an angle where he is black. No thanks, that's just terrible.
Reboot and let anyone audition - whoever knocks out the acting, react to that. There could be an asian actor that nails the role, but nope... they want black.
Black folk deserve better and so does Superman.
Steel, multiverse Calvin Ellis, heck even a Clone superboy could have potential.
It's such a sad day when they try and hijack a character and audience to be political when actually it's down to $$$ for them.
If WB/DC truly cared, give us original, ground breaking content.
