The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you might think the news that Warner Bros. is developing a
Superman reboot with a black lead would likewise be met with a positive response from fans. But that’s not the case. When the announcement first came in February, folks were open to it but further revelations have caused fans to get so riled up that they’re considering boycotting the film.
First of all, THR dropped their story on the Superman reboot on Henry Cavill’s birthday, which those loyal to the DCEU’s Man of Steel saw as disrespectful to the actor. What’s more, it’s been confirmed that WB’s black Superman will still be Kal-El of Krypton, which has led folks to hit back at the studio for race-bending the original character instead of using the likes of Calvin Ellis or Val-Zod from the comics.
