Bryan Singer may not do a sequel to Superman Returns or he may also drop out of doing the planned Logan's Run remake, according to Variety.

"Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver want to start lensing the sci-fi pic this fall, which would mean Singer might end up shooting two tentpoles – 'Logan's' and a 'Superman Returns' sequel -- back-to-back," the trade publication says.

"No one begrudges Singer for seeking a break from big-budget projects, although the filmmaker probably won't make an official decision either way about 'Logan's Run' until 'Superman Returns' bows in July," Variety says.

"Assuming Singer's take on the [Man of Steel] is a crowd-pleaser, Warners plans to start shooting the sequel in the later part of 2007, with Singer again at the helm.

"Even if he doesn't direct 'Logan's Run,' Singer is still likely to play some sort of role and perhaps take a producer's credit. Silver has been developing the project for some time now, with input from Singer.

"There's been buzz that 'V For Vendetta' director James McTeigue might step in and helm 'Logan's Run,' but at this point it's just rumor," according to Variety.

Meanwhile, the Superman Homepage, Getty Images and Yahoo has three new Superman Returns posters. You can see them here, here and here.
