Christopher McQuarrie's work on the Mission: Impossible franchise has been nothing short of incredible so it's no wonder his name has frequently done the rounds in regards to who will direct Man of Steel 2. We have no idea how close that came to happening but if the filmmaker did have any interest in the project, it evaporated last night after he encountered some anti-The Last Jedi "fans."
As you can see below, both McQuarrie and Rian Johnson found themselves caught in the middle of a pretty bizarre exchange and it seems that was enough to make him realise he doesn't want to make movies for people like that whether we're talking about a comic book adaptation or Star Wars.
It is, of course, important to note that "fans" like this are just a very small - and vocal - minority but it seems that's still enough to put the brakes on the possibility of McQuarrie tackling either genre. That's a great shame and you have to hope his opinion changes somewhere down the line. What do you guys think?
