Whether you want him back or not, Bryan Singer's name still keeps popping up as the possible director for the next Superman movie. Credited as the best X-Men movie director, many fans trashed his first effort at the man of steel saying "Superman Returns" was too full of angst and devoid of action.
While many reports talk of Warner Bros wanting to take a different and darker tact with the Superman franchise, and also liking the idea of dumping the last movie in favor of a reboot, other insiders still say Singer is involved. To clarify the matter, intrepid reporters at MTV asked him outright whether he was doing the deed, and here's what they got...
"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."
Slippery little bugger isn't he?
So, to sum up, we basically STILL don't know whether he is involved or not.
