Even before the change in DC’s regime, the Black Superman project was reportedly being developed and in 2021, a new report claimed that Michael B. Jordan’s production company Outlier Society was involved with the project. And even though it was reported that the studio was assigned to create an HBO Max series about Val-Zod’s Superman, there haven’t been any official updates about the situation.

And even though James Gunn and Peter Safran previously confirmed that the Black Superman project, which is being written by Ta-Nehisi Coates’ is in development, and will be under the label of DC Elseworlds, the inclusion of B. Jordan remains uncertain.

Following the success of his directorial debut with Creed III, the actor seems to be currently focused on expanding the Creed franchise and is too busy to indulge himself in any Black Superman project. But if he is inclined to the role of Val-Zod, it might be a long while before we see him in action as Superman.
