'Brainiac' Rumored For MAN OF STEEL 2; George Miller Said To Be Undecided On Directing

Some juicy rumors relating to Warner Bros.' next solo Superman movie here. Word is George Miller simply hasn't made up his mind about directing the sequel, and has other DC options on the table. Plus, it's possible popular Supes baddie Brainiac is being lined up as the villain...

Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller has been given the pick of the litter at Warners if the following is accurate. According to Heroic Hollywood, the director's chair on the planned Man Of Steel sequel - which apparently hasn't been put on "permanent hold" at all and is on track for a 2019/2020 release - is his for the taking, but Miller simply hasn't made up his mind about what his next project will be.

What has him so unsure? Well, word is the studio also likes him for Justice League Dark/Dark Universe now that Guillermo del Toro is no longer helming.

We might also have some idea which villain Supes will be going up against in his next movie: Brainiac. You may remember Zack Snyder's revealing in an interview that before Man Of Steel 2 became Batman V Superman, the evil extraterrestrial android was being lined up as the antagonist - so he definitely seems like the most logical choice, but obviously without so much as a first script draft down it's all subject to change.

What do you guys make of all this? Would you rather see Miller direct the Man Of Steel sequel, or the mystical heroes of Justice League Dark? Sound off below.
