Jaden Smith already dresses like a superhero at high school proms for fun, so why not do it for money too?
This is far from being confirmed in any way, but comicbook.com points out that another actor may have let slip that Jaden will trade his albino Batman costume for the look of DC superhero Static from Static Shock.
Tyler James Williams, who starred in Everybody Hates Chris and The Walking Dead, was being interviewed by Flicks and the City when he pointed out that there aren't many young, black superhero roles to choose from. That's when some people off-camera yell out "Spider Man" and "Static Shock."
"I don't know... What you're taking about," Williams says. "But yeah no, it's great to see Static Shock is happening with Jaden."
Williams also said he's open to the idea of playing the Miles Morales version of Spider Man, and revealed that he has auditioned for Marvel before.
Static first appeared in DC comic books in 1993, but never really took off as a popular character until the animated WB series Static Shock, which ran from 2000 to 2004.
