I gotta say, I didn't think about it, but I am LOVING the idea of an Icon movie! They should absolutely do that instead of blackwashing Kal-El. Also, I've been on the fence about recasting T'Challa. But I find his arguments persuasive. Let's keep the character alive in the MCU.
I did a breakdown of which characters would be best for DC to try without racebending. I can understand Icon not being used by DC not enough name rec. If you want a teen Black Character then Static....Adult I go with John Stewart still.
I'm down for Static and John Stewart for sure, Stewart especially! And I get that Icon doesn't have a high profile, but Iron Man, Thor, and Black Widow were considered third rate before the MCU. I'm optimistic that Icon could blow up if he got the full studio treatment and (here's the most important part) a really good movie.
Any update on the Netflix black superhero show that was announced & discussed in this thread back in 2018-2019?
I don't recall seeing any news about such a show in the works. My apologies if I was the one who shared the article and then promptly forgot about it.
That's still in early development stages. More than likey will be a movie once it moves into production phase since there is only the one comic mni series so far. There are about 5 or 6 other Mark Millar properties lined up ahead of it. That's why no new news about it.
