DC Films has a lot of catch-up to do behind Marvel. Still, now that the Snyderverse is seemingly officially behind them, and films like a rebooted “The Suicide Squad” are on the way, it seems like a new chapter is about to be written in its cinematic history. It’s already been reported that Michael B. Jordan and Reginald Hudlin would be producing a live-action feature film featuring “Static Shock,” a cult superhero from DC Comics and Milestone Comics.

“As a kid, I was obsessed with movies. Throughout my career, my goal has been to give joy to others the way films have brought joy and inspiration to me,” says director Reginald Hudlin. His most recent film, Safety, began streaming exclusively in December on Disney+, where the moving, uplifting drama is part of the “Celebrate Black Stories” collection. It’s inspired by the empowering story of former Clemson University football safety Ray McElrathbey (Jay Reeves), a young man facing a series of challenging circumstances, whose dedication and persistence help him to triumph over repeated adversities. Aided by his teammates and the Clemson community, he succeeds on the field while simultaneously raising and caring for his 11-year-old brother Fahmarr (Thaddeus J. Mixson).
