Bryan Singer Talks Superman Returns Sequel

Posted on July 26, 2006

We loved Superman Returns and are going to be really, really grumpy if there isn't a sequel. Director Bryan Singer addressed the issue at Comic-Con.

At Comic-Con 2006 on Friday, during a Superman panel hosted by Warner Bros. studios, Superman Returns director, Bryan Singer, revealed that he anticipates being involved in the next Superman film.

Singer said he has not signed on to the project yet and Warner Bros. has not approached him about being involved with a follow-up film, although he believes this will eventually happen.

He said that if given a chance to direct the sequel, he will continue the story where Superman Returns left off and would bring on screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris (from the first film) to pen the screenplay for the follow-up.

The bottom line is that a sequel depends on the box office take. To date, the film has made $290,245,955 worldwide so far. It cost $260 million to make. Add in DVD sales and we say, 2009 Superman Sequel, Full Steam Ahead!
