'Black Lightning' star Cress Williams to play the role of Steel in DC's 'Reign of the Supermen'
'Black Lightning's Cress Williams is set to join the star-studded cast of the upcoming DC movie, 'Reign of the Supermen'. This will certainly not be Williams' first appearance in a DC movie, specifically one featuring Superman. The actor, who is now starring as the Black Lightning aka Jefferson Pierce in the CW's comic-book show of the same name, had previously played the role of the vengeful magician Baron Sunday in the third season of the 1996 TNT drama, 'Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'.
Now he is making his way back to DC with his role as Steel in the upcoming Sam Liu-produced-movie, 'Reign of the Supermen'. As a sequel to 'The Death of Superman', the movie picks up from the aftermath of the death of the world's strongest man. In a world without Superman, are several who want to claim the title for themselves. However, the subsequent disappearance of Superman's body leaves the title vulnerable and also open to the hopeful probability of the Man of Steel being alive. Things get complicated when four super-powered men swoop down, claiming themselves to be heirs to Superman.
