These 9 Actors Would Make the Perfect Man of Steel For Ta-Nehisi Coates's Superman

We had to start off the list with Michael B. Jordan. Not only has the internet consistently fancast him in the role, but he also pitched his own version of the project to Warner Bros. back in 2019. While he hasn't outright denied casting rumors surrounding the Coates project, he did address them head on.

"You hear the whispers and the rumors and stuff like that and it's just a compliment," he said of the role. "I appreciate people that think about me in that type of way for these roles. I don't really have anything more to kind of give on that, other than it's just flattering and I appreciate it."
