Ever since he rebooted the
Superman franchise with
Superman Returns, people have wondered if Bryan Singer would be directing the sequel, tentatively titled
Superman: The Man of Steel. Well,
MTV had the chance to talk to the director about his upcoming Tom Cruise-starring
Valkyrie, and they asked him about the next
Superman.
Singer's answer? Well, let's just say it was maddeningly vague.
"At the moment I can't really talk about that," said Singer. "I wish I could. From my perspective I'm going to take a brief pause.
Valkyrie has taken a long time so I'm going to take a pause. A movie like that takes some time to do right. That's all I can say about that."
Singer was, however, able to relate a cute anecdote about a dinner meeting he had with the director of another of Warner Brother's superhero properties - Christopher Nolan, the director of
Batman Begins and
The Dark Knight.
"We had dinner, and [Marvel Studios founder] Avi Arad ran into us. Isn't that strange? It was such a moment," Singer said. "The three of us were just sitting there thinking, 'Isn't this bizarre?' I should have called [
Spider-Man director Sam] Raimi up and said, 'We've got sushi. Get over here!'"

And I think it's time to announce who the f is writing the script already. Singer was good directing Supes, just leave him out of the story aspect. He was terrible with telling a story, and please keep the entire cast of supporting characters or pull a TDK and recast Lois Lane. Other than that and the fact that they want to make this one darker, I think this one will be way better than "Returns." I agree with VISIONARY however.
...Mxzptlk.
JK, but I do wish they would publish something definitive about whether or not the movie is happening. At least we know that Singer and Nolan were having a meal together. Now, who could have set that up?
Better than Singer's bloody romance and kids themes...
Or, I reckon Kingdom Come The Movie
There's an older more mature Superman
