At a recent Comic Con, an interview with Flicks in the City.com had former Everybody loves Chris actor Tyler James Williams allegedly confirming, that Jaden Smith has been cast as African American superhero ‘Static Shock.’ I say allegedly to error on the side of caution….don’t want to whip up a riot the likes of Batfleck (casting of Ben Affleck as Batman).
‘Static Shock’ is a little known black superhero coming out of a specialty comic line from DC Comics. Tyler James Williams was referring to a Warner Bros live action digital series, in development with Django Unchainedproducer Reginald Hudlin.
There have been rumors, but not a an official announcement about the casting for this series.
