1. Michael B. Jordan pitched Warner Bros. on a Superman reboot

After experiencing some growing pains with movies like Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, Warner Bros. needed a hero to swoop in and save their slate of superhero blockbusters. And look! Up on the marquee! It's Killmonger! It's Creed! It's Michael B. Jordan! The actor reportedly met with Warner Bros. earlier this year to pitch his own vision for a Superman reboot. There's no word on whether the studio was interested, and either way, Jordan's busy schedule means the film wouldn't be ready until 2023 at the earliest — so until then, filmgoers will just have to hope some other generous Hollywood studio will decide to release a superhero movie.
