Viewer Question:
Jerek - Hey John and crew! So I saw over the weekend that David Zaslav had lunch with Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, and Peter Safran, possibly discussing Man of Steel 2. Wow! If this is true, what would a Superman film from Spielberg and Nolan be like? I'm really hoping this is true, Spielberg and Nolan are two of my absolute favorites in the industry. Did you see this story going around? What are you thoughts on this? Thanks!

If Steven Spielberg was ever to direct a superhero movie I don’t think there’s any character more fitting for him to do it with than Superman, yeah Fantastic Four would’ve been cool but Superman feels like he was made for Spielberg, especially with this talk of them now taking the character in more of fun, lighthearted direction I think Steven Spielberg is absolutely perfect for that, I mean can you imagine a Superman movie with the same sense of awe and wonder as Jurassic Park? That’d be incredible, it’d be like seeing a Richard Donner Superman movie in the modern age, and yeah, it’s cool that he’s been able to go off and make these smaller, indie movies/passion projects like West Side Story and whatnot but after all this time it’d be awesome to see Steven Spielberg return to making a big blockbuster movie, he, more than any other big name director out there is a director who I would erupt with joy upon hearing him say he’s throwing his hat into the comic book movie ring, this might just be wishful thinking because it seems like a really tall order but I would absolutely love it

I still will never understand how DC have struggled to make Movies of their best characters.

This news only works if Steven and Chris are true fans of Superman and want to wow the world with a movie about him.

[@leechtlazuli5891]

The core premise of MoS came from Chris Nolan, but he said he wouldn't be the guy to direct it and that's why he pitched it to Zack. I Hope it's Zaslav asking Chris to pitch the concept of MoS to Spielberg to continue and keep that core premise when he directs MoS 2. Safran is there for the assessment of the production.

[@Venger26]

It’s Monday. I think by Thursday we will hear news of who is going to be directing the new Superman film.

[@classicfanforever5139]

Even If Steven doesn't direct, him being involved as a producer would be a huge benefit. And I don't mean as executive producer, I mean heavily involved.

[@patriciablopez]

Let's not forget, Christopher Nolan was a producer on MOS

[@DyslexicGod]

And co writer

[@TheShrouded]

Everyone forgot about Man of Steel genesis? While making Dark Knight Rises, Goyer pitched to Nolan his Superman idea. Nolan went on to develop the story (he was credited for the story) and it's structure. You can see Nolan fingerprints all over it. It's non linear story etc. All the differences between MoS and BvS/JL is because of Nolan's involvement and lack thereof.

[@darrellglover493]

And Nolan HANDPICKED Zack Snyder to direct.

[@riseofazrael]

People always think Man of Steel is Snyder's baby, but that was one of the few times where he was actually just a director for hire instead of building his own project from the ground up. MOS has none of Snyder's signature directing style outside of the camerawork and cinematography. Man of Steel has no slow-motion sequences, and no music video montages. Snyder didn't even write MOS, Nolan and Goyer did. They just brough Snyder on to direct their vision and I think he did a great job with it. The Faora fight scenes were amazing, loved the way he captured her crazy speed against regular people. The lackluster script was all Nolan and Goyer.

[@johngrayson9218]

Spielberg and Nolan were not in the same meeting. Spielberg and Zaslav were eating lunch. Nolan finished his lunch, then joined them, and then Peter Safran walked in. It wasn’t intentionally one big meeting.

[@IsiahBradley]

"They're not talking about 'Lincoln II: The Return!'" LMAO!!!! And yes, John, Spielberg+superhero=GOAT!

Nothing against Spielberg, I loved his movies but as great as Spielberg is as a director I don't really know if he would be the kind of director for a character like superman. I loved Nolan's batman trilogy but him DIRECTING MOS 2? Ok that could be a better and more "appropriate" choice, considering Nolan himself asked Zack Snyder not to watch the theatrical JL. But the good thing about Nolan directing MOS 2 is that he would probably maintain the tone of MOS but adding the "joy" and "happiness" that Henry Cavill is talking about

I think it was originally meant to just be a general meeting with them discussing things like Nolan's issues with the previous Warner regime and stuff like that, but I think it ended up being more than that, with them discussing upcoming projects and stuff like that, and I do think Superman was part of those discussions. I don't think Superman was the only thing discussed, but I do think it was one of the things discussed. If Spielberg does Superman, imagine not only the stock prices and Oscar talk, but imagine how quickly some of the others like Scorsese and those that have dissed comic book movies change their mind when they hear Spielberg is doing Superman, especially if it turns out amazing. Imagine how many more directors would flood into Marvel and DC asking to do movies for them.

Wishful thinking and obvious speculation, we’re talking about two titans who really adore the Superman character. Back in the day Spielberg almost directed Richard Donnor’s Superman before he went to direct Jaws. Nolan has always admired Donnor’s Superman and cited it as the blueprint when making Batman Begins, and he went onto producing all of Zack Snyder’s DC films. I really believe these guys would at least be interested in being attached to a Superman film, whether it’s entirely possible is another story but boy I really hope it would be.

[@chadlewis5379]

OK, so many thoughts on this. First off, Spielberg and Nolan are both in my top three favorite filmmakers of all time, so I would love to have been in that meeting just to get to talk to them and pick their brains a little bit. Second of all, Christopher Nolan not only produced but also worked on the story for Man of Steel. I don't think it's that far fetched to believe they were talking about Superman because he was directly involved in the production of the first film. It makes sense that they would at least consult him on where it would make sense to take this iteration of the character in a followup film. Doesn't mean he'll be directly involved the second time around, but it might mean that. Third, and this is just wild, fanboy speculation that has no basis in reality whatsoever. We know John Williams is retiring after Indiana Jones 5. HOWEVER, if there is one thing that could convince him to put that retirement on hold to do just one more movie, it's his buddy Steven Spielberg directing a Superman movie. Furthermore, WHAT IF they somehow convinced Williams and Hans Zimmer to work together on the score. Again, pure speculation here, but you make Man of Steel 2 (or call it Superman or Man of Tomorrow, whatever) starring Henry Cavill, directed by Steven Spielberg, produced and with a story by Christopher Nolan, and with a score by John Williams and Hans Zimmer, that's a movie that would make a killing at the box office. So, in conclusion, did they discuss Superman? I'll take the over that they did. They'd be stupid not to at least consider that option.

[@charan187]

Nolan already did a lot of work for Man of Steel and Produced it, so Nolan being on Board is MASSIVE! Way bigger than Spielberg being attached! 🔥

[@anthony7697]

If we assume it is in fact over Man of Steel 2 (and not Spielberg's long efforts to do a Blackhawk Squadron movie based on the DC comics) - I am 100% behind that choice, because at that point, if were getting the guy that did the early Indy films, even Hook - then yeah I think we get the right balance and depth that Cavil clearly blows away all the other Supermen. However - Nolan is a hard pass and 'please keep him 10 miles away from the production and block all his calls automatically'. I think the Nolan films are good - not as good as many others make them out as but still on the upper end of the scale. And what he did works for Batman, his usual tone, works for Batman. And while I know that some, like John, love Man of Steel - I don't, and it can't be denied that it was a divisive film, and Nolan did the story for it. If you want to bring Nolan on for more Batman maybe, but I'd honestly rather see him tackle someone like 'The Question' or even 'Black Canary' - especially because he could likely show the restraint to have her be an excellent hand to hand fighter and excellent at investigating and covert stuff without her having to use her canary cry every 10 minutes, maybe only a couple times when it's absolutely necessary.

If Spielberg turns this down there are others who I can think of. Since Mr. Cavill wants a more joyful approach to the character maybe another legend like Ron Howard could do it. Brad Bird, Christopher MacQuarrie, Joseph Kosinski, or Matthew Vaughn. Superman needs the Winter Soldier treatment. Joe Johnston directed the first Captain America movies but the Russo Brothers directed the ones that changed peoples’ perception of the character for the better. Superman needs to move beyond Mr. Snyder’s vision the same way Cap moved beyond Joe Johnston’s.
