　　Coates is an exciting choice of writer for the movie. He's known as a journalist and non-fiction writer as well as for his comic books. His work in comics include a number of Black Panther and Captain America series for Marvel, as well as working as a consultant on the Eisner Award-winning World of Wakanda. Coates's non-fiction books include The Beautiful Struggle, Between the World and Me, and We Were Eight Years in Power, which collected his essays about the Obama presidency.

　　The fact that DC is planning to reboot Superman suggests that it is fully moving on from the DC Extended Universe of Zack Snyder's films. However, we'll see Cavill once more when Snyder's new version of Justice League hits HBO Max next month.

　　As for Superman on the small screen, the new CW series Superman & Lois premiered this week. Check out what GameSpot thought of the new show here.
