In recent months there has been a strong rumor in which Michael B. Jordan is singled out as a candidate to be an alternate version of Superman on the big screen since Warner Bros' interest in showing an African American in the role of the big screen was announced. "last son of Krypton".

It is not the first time that Jordan addresses the possibility of being the iconic DC character, although on previous occasions he did it from mere speculation. In a new interview, the actor assured that representation was something important in today's industry, but that there are various ways of doing it.

Perhaps Jordan's response is one of the most sensible about how comic-book-inspired films could achieve diversity in a balanced way. In the last decade, heated debates about diversity in these films have raged online between those who applaud the inclusion of minorities in originally white characters and those with a more traditionalist style.

What Michael B. Jordan suggests is that, to have more diverse films, companies like DC and Marvel Comics should do is create a greater variety of diverse characters rather than alter previously established icons. And perhaps it is for the best if these productions do not want to avoid the rejection of some fans.
