Deadline has confirmed that author Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing a Superman reboot feature for Warner Bros and DC, which J.J. Abrams is producing under his Bad Robot label.
No plot yet and no attachments despite the fact that we’ve heard how Henry Cavill is eager to get back into the cape.
As the national correspondent for The Atlantic, Coates covered cultural, social and political issues, specifically that of African Americans and white supremacy.
His 2014 cover story for that publication, “The Case for Reparations,” started a national conversation on the subject.
It was named the “Top Work of Journalism of the Decade” by New York University’s Carter School of Journalism Institute.
Coates has also written for The Village Voice, TIME and has contributed to the New York Times Magazine, Washington Post and more.
As we first told you in January 2020, Bad Robot and Warner are developing the Justice League Dark Universe for film and TV. »
