A few weeks ago “The Incredible Hulk” director Louis Leterrier was doing some mouth breathing and he sort of suggested that he might have something to do with the next Superman film that DC Comics and Warner Bros. are trying to figure out what to do with next (“Superman Returns” director Bryan Singer appears to still be attached… for now).
Anne Thompson spoke to Legendary Pictures producer Thomas Tull, who goes 50/50 with Warner Bros. (who back DC Comics properties) today. He tells the Variety scribe and blogger that Superman is still a ways off because Singer is still working on “Valkryie” and a script hasn’t even been finalized (so much for Brandon Routh saying filming is going to start early 2009, told ya).
“It’s an iconic character. After everything that went into the first film, it’s important to make sure that nothing is rushed and we come out with a fantastic second film,” Tull told Thompson adding that everyone wants a “worthy opponent” for the sequel. He also tells the trade blogger that Leterrier won’t be involved in any Superman film. “He’s laser-focused on [‘Clash of The Titans’].”
