Jaden Smith wore a white Batman suit to his prom, but alas, that’s not the superhero he’s lined up to play.
The young actor will reportedly play DC Comics’ Static Shock in a live-action digital series from Warner Bros.
That’s according to Tyler James Williams, star of The Walking Dead and Dear White People, who told journalists at MCM London Comic Con that Jaden had landed the role.
Tyler had pointed out that there was a lack of ‘young, black superheroes’ in the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes, but it was ‘great to see Static Shock is happening with Jaden.’
