In a recent Q&A session at Brussels 2022’s Heroes Comic Con, McLaughlin expressed an interest in appearing in the DC Extended Universe live-action Static Shock. At the panel, McLaughlin stated that he wanted to play Static Shock.
“What other movie would I like…I want to do a superhero film. I would love to play Static Shock honestly…
I would want to do something like a superhero or even something…it doesn’t matter. I’m really open to being any character. I feel like I can play anybody, honestly. It really — I feel like how I pick my films is really what speaks to me. Also, I’m also developing other projects myself that will be coming out. Not soon, but soon. But yeah, it really doesn’t matter actually. It’s just whatever like project speaks to me and my creativity.”
Static Shock is set to appear in the DC Extended Universe, and it’s now known when that will happen. In August 2020, DC FanDome revealed its intention of making a live-action Static Shock adaptation. Michael B. Jordan has teamed up with Randy McKinnon to produce the film through his company, Outlier Society; he’ll also star in it. It’s presently unclear when Warner Bros.’ Discovery will make further changes. However, Jordan said in April 2021 that while there are “no real updates,” the film is still “in the process” of being constructed.
