Ta- Nehisi Coates' upcoming Black Superman movie gets a new update from DC Studios master James Gunn. While a new Superman movie is in the workshop for the DC Universe, there's also an Elseworlds design related to the Man of Steel. Long before DC Studios was indeed launched, a Superman reboot with a Black lead had been put into development withJ.J. Abrams as an administrative patron. Coates was tapped to write the script for the new take on the Man of hereafter, but many updates have come out since the original advertisement.
Those two things are totally unrelated. That’s an exciting movie. I know that Chantal Nong, who is the executive on that project, is extremely excited about it. So if it comes in and it’s great, which I haven’t read the script, and if the timing is right, that could absolutely happen. That’s totally unrelated. It would be an Elseworlds tale like Joker.
In a recent interview with Gizmodo, Gunn was asked about the future of the Black Superman movie, and he revealed it may still move forward. While he hasn't read the script yet, Gunn called it an" instigative movie" that would, much like The Batman and Joker, live outside the main DC Universe durability. He said

After the Black Superman movie was first blazoned in 2021, a many details about the film have surfaced over the times. While it would feature a Black actor as the Man of Steel, the story would still center on Clark Kent, making this the first time a DC live- action design has featured Superman with a different race. Indeed though Abrams was attached to administrative yield, the plan was noway for him to direct it, as the plant was committed to chancing a Black director for the reboot.
Back when the Black Superman movie was put into development, reports claimed it would follow Kal- El during the 20th century. As far as other DC characters go, there was noway any information on whether Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen or Lex Luthor would appear. The last time there were any updates on the design was in December 2022, nearly right after the advertisement about Gunn writing the new Superman Legacy movie.
still, it'll be interesting to see what vision Coates ends up going with, as it's unclear what the current interpretation looks like, If the Black Superman movie goes forward. DC Studios' precedence is on Superman Legacy at the moment, meaning that indeed if Coates' film goes forward, it would probably not go into product any time soon. But hopefully, further news will be revealed about the Black Superman design sooner rather than latterly.
