Superman | July 11, 2025 | James Gunn writing and directing | David Corenswet is Clark, Rachel Brosnahan is Lois

[MCKillswitch123]

That would be an AWESOME choice, and would instantaneously get me on board for Man Of Steel 2. I loved Kick-Ass and First Class, and I really liked Kingsman. This guy understands comic book movies very well, giving them gravitas from both the fun/colorful and drama standpoints, and I think he could nail Superman.

 

DCEU now has a lot of good talent behind the camera, between Vaughn (if they get him), James Wan, and Matt Reeves.

Vaughn would be a step up. Question is if he would do it. 

 

He turned down Bond and didn't want to continue with X-Men, I don't see why he would do MOS 2.  

 

Though he did say MOS should have been lighter and more Dick Donner-ish so if they let him do it own way, maybe.

Better question is will he stay on?

This is so early that it's not even worth getting excited about.

I want to be excited cause I've really enjoyed all his movies but I feel like you're right. I hope this works out though.

What a ray of sunshine you are.

[antovolk]

I've been mulling this over and it really seems, between this, Reeves hiring, Gibson early talks, that finally WB are getting back on the 'director-driven' train with this, which is part of why I was excited for this CU. BvS unfortunately did cause quite the roadbump for them - screwing up SS in the process, causing the 'creative differences' drama with Flash and so on....

[RandomCat]

I'd make a snide remark about finally a good director, but I honestly know nothing about the director of Wonder Woman, and Wan is a god.

[The Futurist]

Not a chance this will happen.

He returned to the X-Men after leaving X3 over creative differences. And he wanted to continue after First Class, only he wanted to do Kingsman first and he had a different idea for the X-prequel trilogy where he wanted a complete period film set in the 70's with a recast Wolverine post-FC, and then an 80's set DoFP after the 70's X-flick with Hugh Jackman meeting NuWolverine. It was Fox and Singer/Kinberg who decided to go with DoFP set in the future and immediately after FC, sans Vaughn and a younger actor playing 70's Wolverine. To Vaughn's credit, he was very graceful about the whole thing saying it was "Bryan's franchise".

Vaughn would sure as hell be an improvement over Snyder 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I would rather of had Reeves direct this instead of Batman.

[The Futurist]

Alfred Hitchcock should direct this.

Guy knows how to create suspense and tension.

He's no Zack Snyder, but MOS 2 can have a different tone and style and still be as great as the first one. That's the beauty of a shared universe that actually changes and moves forward with the story.

This has become more active since THE BATMAN isn't happening anytime soon.

Batman has a director, and a potential script, tho...

I would bet The Batman will go into production early 2018 for a 2019 release (if it's a page one re-write). If they use the current script, and Affleck is committed to return, then it could potentially got into production in the fall.

 

But all of this is conjecture, who the hell knows what is going on when we get friend of a friend rumors.
