George Miller Might Direct A DC Movie; But MAN OF STEEL 2 Could Be "On Permanent Hold"

The other day we heard the rumor that Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller was in line to helm Warner Bros.' direct sequel to Man Of Steel, but a new report calls into question when - or even if - that movie will see the light of day. More past the jump...

By all accounts, George Miller is indeed chatting to Warner Bros. about directing one of their DC comic book movies - it just may not be Man Of Steel 2. According to Den Of Geek, Miller is looking at a future DC project but what he settles on will ultimately "depend on what story most interests him, his take on it and everyone's availability."

So while that doesn't rule a Man Of Steel sequel out, it seems more likely the studio would be trying to focus on finding someone to helm one of the movies already on their jam-packed slate. Plus, the site also reports that, from what they've heard, the sequel is actually on "permanent hold", anyway. Does that mean it's been abandoned completely, or it's just not a priority for WB at this moment in time?

From what we understand, the studio is very excited about Ben Affleck's turn as Batman and is already mapping out a trilogy of solo movies focusing on that character - so it's entirely possible ol' Supes has been placed on the back burner for the time being. Hey, maybe Miller will try his hand at the Dark Knight instead.

What DC movie would you most like to see Miller direct?

"Permanent hold" doesn't even make sense. That's just BS.

MOS2 is coming. It's only a matter of whether Miller or Snyder directs it and when it gets made.

On a positive note, it's awesome that it looks like Miller is being given his choice of whatever DC movie he wants to direct. I still hope it's the Man of Steel sequel, but he deserves to have whatever he wants.

Why the [frick] would a movie that made over 670 million at the box office and got mostly positive reactions NOT get a [frick]ing sequel? That just doesn't make any god damn sense to me. But this is still a rumor so I won't completely freak out yet....

A little irritated that this is even a rumor.Superman deserves better than this there should be room is out there is saying that they're trying to fit in two more movies not this s***

Not exactly a surprise... The whole reason we're getting "Batman v. Superman" is because "Man of Steel 2" doesn't excite nearly enough people to justify the kind of budget it should have.

After they kill Supes off then bring him back in "Justice League", maybe then they'll be ready to give him another solo movie, but I tend to think they'll keep at this team-up idea instead.

Man Of Steel 2 doesn't even need to be a priority right now. Their slate, and the Superhero calender as a whole is pretty compacted so I wouldn't expect anything before 2020. I really don't care or mind. He'll be appearing in 3 of the ten movies coming, maybe even more.

Cancel the Green Lantern movie and make MoS 2 instead. Maybe Miller will make an LSH movie.
