Although George Miller was recently rumoured to direct
‘Man of Steel 2’, it looks as though the Superman sequel
may have already been canned.
During last week’s episode of Popcorn Talk , Jon
Schnepp dropped a rather huge bombshell – that George
Miller would be directing ‘Man of Steel 2’. But according
to Den of Geek , that rumour isn’t quite on the money…
and it seems the sequel may have been canned already.
“We’ve since heard from two sources that there might be
substance to this rumour. They tell us that Miller is
indeed in talks with Warner Bros about the possibility of
taking on one of its future DC movies, though exactly
what that movie is hasn’t been decided as yet… While
this doesn’t rule out the possibility of Miller taking on
Man Of Steel 2, another source has said that, as far as
they understand it, the sequel is on ‘permanent hold’.”
Unfortunately, we’re not entirely sure what that means,
at least for now.
Has ‘Man of Steel 2’ been put on hold until a suitable
point opens up in Warner Bros’ super-powered
schedule? Has it been abandoned completely?
Either way, it’s obvious that WB’s upcoming superhero
slate is already rather crowded… and with recent
rumours that Ben Affleck is getting his own Batman
trilogy, it’s understandable if there just isn’t room for
the foreseeable future.
Of course, the thing about film schedules and release
dates is that they can always change…
Either way, we’ve got plenty of Superman appearances to
look forward to in the coming years. After all, with
‘Batman V Superman’ heading to cinemas in 2016,
followed by the ‘Justice League’ part one and two,
there’s no shortage of the Man of Steel.
And the future of the DC movie universe is looking rather
interesting.
‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ heads to cinemas
on 25 March 2016.
