Will Static Shock Be DC's Next Biggest Hero?
Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
Anytime we hear Michael B. Jordan’s name involved with a project, we get instantly excited about the possibilities. Now that he’s confirmed for the producer role on DC and Milestone’s Static Shock movie, well, let’s just say the hype’s reached newfound levels! Outlier Society is about to build its very own cinematic hero universe.
All this rides on the success of Static, a character you remember from Sunday morning cartoons on the WB channel. Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network were big in promoting him in a prime time spot. So many fans grew up with that show. What you’re probably forgetting is the decades of history before his television debut. He’s an icon (pun intended) for the DC comic’s branch Milestone.
With all the new content coming out about this famous black superhero, ScreenRant figured it was best to highlight his history and comic book roots. Oh, don’t worry, we’ll be sure to get into his upcoming film too. We’ve got to get our take in for who should play the character. Some say Jaden Smith, but we’re leaving the door open for some other options.
This is one video you won’t want to miss out on! Come check out everything you need to know about Static Shock. Warning, it will leave you totally amped up for the new movie and graphic novel. Just be ready for the hype!
