Warner Bros. may scrap plans for a sequel to Superman Returns and reboot the entire franchise, courtesy of one of the best comic book writers in the business, Mark Millar!
In a recent interview, writer Mark Millar (Wanted, The Ultimates, Superman: Red Son) mentioned that he had been approached about revamping the Superman franchise. The revamp would be a trilogy, with all three films shot consecutively.
Millar said:
"A director approached me about three months ago and he said, 'Look, The Man Of Steel [the planned Bryan Singer sequel] might not be happening. If that doesn’t happen, it has been spoken about the possibility of me coming in, would you like to write it?’ And I was like, 'Yeah.'"
Millar went on to say:
“I’ve had this plan for like 10 years for a big three-picture Superman thing, like a big Lord of the Rings epic, starting over from scratch again with a seven-hour Superman story. And hopefully release them one year after another…if it works out, we’ll have to start shooting next summer.”
