In exciting news for Mission: Impossible fans, we learned last night that Christopher McQuarrie is returning to helm the next two instalments of the franchise which will be released in 2021 and 2022.
Now, a new report reveals that before he signed up to direct the back-to-back sequels, the filmmaker was courted by a number of studios and Warner Bros. "even tried to seduce him with DC projects." Instead, McQuarrie chose to take a breather and ultimately committed to working with Tom Cruise again.
What were those movies? We don't know for sure, but reliable sources have previously indicated that he was wanted for both the Man of Steel sequel and Green Lantern Corps so they seem like safe bets.
McQuarrie could, of course, join the world of superhero movies somewhere down the line but that's going to be quite some time from now as he's going to be a busy man for the next few years.
Are you disappointed that he chose Mission: Impossible over the DCEU?
