Lee Daniels is investing in his dream film project, a gay superhero film, and he’s already found his star.

The lucky lead will be viral star Super Bitch (real name Dremon Cooper), a dancer from Southeast D.C. Super Bitch’s videos show him wearing his signature thigh-high pink boots as he sashays around D.C. fighting hate and tolerance with his “combo” moves.

“Y’all remember maybe 10, 12 years ago I said my dream was to make a gay superhero film?” Daniels says in a video posted on Instagram. “Dreams do come true. And I found my superhero. America, world, get ready.”

Super Bitch’s fans have been begging for a movie and now it seems they will finally get their wish.

Daniels notes that the film won’t be his next project but its in “the pipeline.”
