Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels is set to produce a gay superhero film.
Daniels met Dremon Cooper, a dance teacher from Washington DC, more commonly known as Super Bitch.
Cooper recently went viral online after posting videos of himself pretending to beat up criminals, while wearing thigh-high pink stiletto boots.
And now it looks like he’ll be starring as a new gay superhero.
Daniels posted a video to Instagram last night (15 January) featuring the handsome young gay man.
‘Y’all remember maybe 10, 12 years ago I said my dream was to make a gay superhero film?’ Daniels said. ‘Dreams do come true. And I found my superhero.
He then added: ‘America, world, get ready.’

Cooper also posted the video to Instagram, with the caption: ‘Dreams really do come true!
‘I had the pleasure of meeting the one and only [Lee Daniels]. You’re an amazing man filled with great ideas. I can[‘t] wait to work with you,’ he said.
