The world is transcending beyond the constraints of dividing fellow human beings based on their ethnicity, race, and many such prejudices. Each and every day, human rights activists are campaigning and fighting for an egalitarian community. And it seems like James Gunn is volunteering to advocate the same. Following the exit of Henry Cavill, there have been innumerable speculations about the new Superman. However, there is no concrete casting news yet.

The new and transforming DC universe knows well that one wrong decision will agitate their entire dynamic, and a man less worthy of the super red and blue cape will bring turmoil home. And therefore, according to the recent rumors, they have perhaps grown open to all, and the skin color of the new Clark Kent will be of least importance. YouTuber and leaker Grace Randolph recently slipped on Twitter that they are looking for an actor in his early twenties and of any ethnicity.

As you can see in the post above, the rumored casting call is open to all ethnicities for “Clark, Lois, and Jimmy.” However, there has been no official announcement from DC or Warner Bros. regarding casting a new Superman or any plans to race-swap the character. Still, the rumor was enough for fans to do some talking.

The race-swapping rumor of Superman after the exit of Henry Cavill got fans talking

While some pitched their favorite actors for the role, others pleaded to get done with the whole hiatus and cast an actor as soon as possible.

Others also asked for the details of the agent who passed down the news. While some confessed that if it is based on the upcoming Cartoon Network superman series, they would love to watch diverse characters play their respective roles.

Although there have been discussions and rumors about the possibility of a non-white actor taking on the role, nothing has been confirmed. Ultimately, it will be up to the studios and filmmakers to decide how they want to approach the character in future films.
