Lee Daniels has confirmed to his followers on Instagram that he has a new project in the works and, introduced the actor who will play its lead character “Super B**ch” as his first gay superhero.“Y’all remember maybe 10, 12 years ago I said my dream was to make a gay superhero film?” Daniels said in the clip. “I found my superhero! America, world, get ready.”“Dreams really do come true!!” Super B**ch wrote in his caption after reposting the announcement. “I had the pleasure of meeting the one and only @theoriginalbigdaddy. You’re an amazing man filled with great ideas. I can wait to work with you!” According to Nylon, SuperBitch is an openly gay native of Washington, DC. (His handle,@hesosoutheast, is an homage to his part of town.) He has made a name for himself performing in the LGBTQ ballroom scene and as a crime-fighting hero in pink boots. In multiple DIY sketches, you can find SuperBitch in a shiny crop top, fighting intolerance and ignorance with a cocktail of acrobatic precision and proper reads. He is known to nail backflips and high kicks in heels, a video of which Daniels didn’t hesitate to include in his Instagram post:
