What *black* actor would you cast as...Superman?

Paterson Joseph - a British actor, who I mainly know from Peep Show / Mitchell and Webb, and at one time a contender for Doctor Who.

I can’t say I was impressed with the most recent Superman re-boot. I can’t think of many black actors with the same total lack of on-screen personality as Henry Cavill. Perhaps a blacked-up David Hemmings being played by a piece of wood?

Darth Panda, I choose to interpret that post as a reply to SirGalahad’s post directly above it.

Me, too. It could work.

Him or Laurence Fishburne.

I didn’t originally post it with that intent, but when I saw the post above mine, I changed my mind.
