There are a lot of conflicting stories about what's next for the Man of Steel franchise, including it not being a priority for Warner Bros. or them possibly handing over Superman to George Miller as Zack Snyder cracks on with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the two Justice League movies. Confirming that there's been talks of him helming Man of Steel 2 (though it's unclear whether he's actually referring to discussions with the studio or general online chatter), the filmmaker confirms that the reports are "probably" not true. Despite that, he's quick to talk about being a big fan of DC Comics and praise Snyder's work in the DC Extended Universe, so who knows, it could still happen! He also provides an update on two possible Mad Max: Fury Road sequels, so be sure to watch the video below for his comments in full. What do you think of these comments?

George Miller will do his sequel to Fury Road.

He ain't prolific like Ridley Scott. Rather see him do a sequel TO HIS OWN FRANCHISE.

I don't see the fascination with this guy.

I mean Mad Max was good but that doesn't mean he can bring the same thing to every single franchise.

I do agree there's a significant caveat in that Miller conceived the idea for Fury Road in 1999, and most of what appears on his storyboard appeared in the movie. So, he's had a lot 14-15yrs to fine tune the idea & how to make it.

The question is, can Miller conceive an idea for a movie & take it from script to screen as brilliantly as he did Fury Road, in a MUCH shorter turnaround???

Exactly my point. Miller had plenty of history with the Mad Max franchise so at this stage is was well within his own element to bring Fury Road to the top the way he did.

I would still like to see him have a go at one of these DC properties because the man is EXTREMELY Talented.

Can't really comment on that because I haven't seen Road Warrior lol. But I'll check it out and get back to you.

@TheRandomOne - "Its amazing how back in the day the fan boys hated him for that almost made Justice League movie & now they love him"

We live in a "what have you done lately" world.

And it's how opinions work. A little time & new, different perspectives/evidence (films/shows) can do wonders. hahaha

Would not be surprised if he was announced to direct a DC property at some point.

Everytime they say "PROBABLY not," they usually mean "yes."

@fettastic - "for me, it's all about The Road Warrior. It is definitely one of the best sci fi films of all time as well as one of the best action films of all time. This was an entire world that he created, using camera techniques he invented, and using editing techniques nobody had seen before. It was bold, new and creative on a level barely conceived of then or now."

That's kind of my point though. I'm in no way discrediting or question what George Miller has done with Mad Max, that's far from my point. Miller with Mad Max & Miller with a DC project would be apples & oranges.

Miller created the Mad Max universe & he's had decades to develop, grow & fine-tune this world. It was 15 yrs. from his Fury Road storyboard until the movie was made. He had A LOT of time to have every aspect of the movie thoroughly thought out & developed, so when it was finally green lit, he hit the ground running. He's said to have ideas for 2-4 more Mad Max movies & believe Hardy is signed on for three or four more Mad Max films. Those ideas he's likely been developing & thinking about for years.

However, with a DC project, it'd be a much quicker turn around. Depending on the project, at most he might have a couple years to come up with the idea for the movie, draft the story/script and make the film. While he's had multiple years to just develop the story/script & brainstorm how he'd shoot the film/scenes.

I'm not questioning Miller's talent, I'm suggesting/questioning whether Miller's work might be best when he has more time to develop & work on his movies. I'm speculating that a DC project might not be in his or WB/DC's best interest, bc Miller might be best when he has more time than what WB/DC might be able to provide for him if he takes on a DCEU film. I could be entirely wrong & my concerns are all for naught, but there's no way of knowing for certain right now.

Thank god.

As I have said before, I DON'T want Miller working on a studio-headed CBM.
Rather him use his impressive creative vision on Mad Max 5 or an original project
