Moviehole has an interesting interview with the screenwriter of
Superman Returns where he reveals the following:
Promising first and foremost that the sequel would have been action heavy, Dougherty explained that it would have revolved around a group of Kryptonians who come to Earth and, while they wouldn't have been outright evil a la General Zod, they would have challenged Superman's views of his role on Earth.
Despite the promise of action, that sounds like another boring movie too busy trying to make a point instead of giving fans a faithful, and exciting, adaptation of one of the most iconic superheroes ever created to me! However, in a surprising twist it seems that a classic Superman villain might have had a role:
"Brainiac was always interesting."
As for what he thinks the chances of seeing Brandon Routh reprise the role of the Man of Steel in Zack Snyder's upcoming reboot are, here's what he had to say:
"I’m sure they’ll talk...at least I’d like to think so!"
Would you have liked to see this sequel to
Superman Returns make it's way to the big screen? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
