The Coventry Telegraph have noticed something very interesting in a recent interview the Hellboy director did. After walking away from The Hobbit, Del Toro was seemingly offered the chance to direct the Christopher Nolan penned reboot (rumoured to be titled The Man of Steel) and here is both the question he was asked along with his slightly ambiguous answer!
As director, you could have gone to work for Warner Bros, doing a Wizard of Oz movie, and, I've heard, the studio wanted you to resurrect Superman.
"There were other projects" [he laughs].
While he doesn't confirm that he was offered the job, he certainly didn't deny it either. The fact he laughed when asked the question also seems to hint that he might have turned down Warner Bros! Sadly, it would seem that no one asked him about
Doctor Strange but this is definitely an interesting bit of info. Do you think he would have been the right guy for the job? Share your thoughts in the usual place!
