Rapman on Netflix’s ‘Groundbreaking’ All-Black Sci-Fi Series ‘Supacell’: ‘I Couldn’t Believe They Were Actually Going to Let Me Make It’
Rapman talks Netflix's all-Black London superhero series 'Supacell': 'The Black community have never seen themselves in the sci-fi space.'
Another film Rapman was developing — “American Son,” Paramount’s remake of French hit “A Prophet” due to star Russell Crowe — also fell apart. But it wasn’t long before the creative — who original rose to fame thanks to his cult three-part YouTube trilogy “Shiro’s Story” in 2018 — was hard at work on another project, one which is finally seeing the light of day. Speaking to Variety, Rapman discusses why he’s already getting excited calls about the show from filmmakers in the U.S., where — outside of Marvel and DC — he’s been told a superhero story with an all-ethnic cast simply wouldn’t get made.
