However, Variety now reports that Goyer has decided to step away as director to focus on other projects - though he will remain on board as an executive producer and screenwriter.

Despite Goyer's departure, the studio is said to be very happy with the script he turned in and is currently meeting with potential replacements. All going well, Masters of The Universe will still meet its currently scheduled Dec. 18, 2019 release date.

Good. Goyer is a mediocre screenwriter and a terrible director.

@soberchimera - I think Batman Begins is a terrific movie, but I would not call Man of Steel or the Blade movies "great". They aren't bad, they're just... okay. And those are his best movies. What about his other movies? The Unborn, The Invisible, Ghost Rider 1 & 2, Jumper, BvS, and Blade Trinity. Just a whole bunch of crap.

Honestly I just feel like Goyer got lucky when Chris Nolan called him up in 2003/2004 to write Batman Begins with him, and Goyer has been exploiting that relationship ever since.
