Our friend Robert Sanchez at IESB has the scoop on the latest details leaking out of the Warner Brothers camp for the Superman franchise.
According to Robert and his search for information on the Man of Steel, WB is treating Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns as a sort of conclusion to the film franchise as it was before, and are heading in new direction with new people.
We knew this already with Brandon Routh’s and Bryan Singer’s contracts expiring, but Robert now has some clues as to who may be involved with the franchise’s future: James McTeigue and the Wachowski brothers!

From what he’s gathered, it sounds like the Wachowskis may produce with McTeigue at the helm, in the same way they’ve been working on the action-packed Ninja Assassin movie.
I guess our reports back in February on the rumors about the Wachowskis being looked at to create a new Superman trilogy weren’t so far off after all. What’s even more interesting is that those Wachowski rumors from the beginning of the year originated from an interview with James McTeigue himself! Now it’s all starting to come together…
There are several obvious factors making this a believable possibility: the history of the Wachowskis working with WB in the past (Matrix movies, Speed Racer), McTeigue’s relationship with the brothers, and the court hearings that are forcing WB to get this movie fast-tracked for a 2011 start at the latest.
A few weeks ago, Screen Rant Editor Kofi Outlaw wrote about the recent ruling by a U.S. District Court Judge on the ever-lasting legal feud between DC/Warner Bros. and the estate of late Superman co-creator, Jerry Siegel.
This court decision stated that WB needs another Superman film in production by 2011, or they’d be subject to potential lawsuits from the heirs of the Superman creators.

if i was wb i would start filming in 2010. film three movies back to back, and start releasing them in 2011 on a six month window. spring, christmas,and summer 2012. with the right people behind it, it can be huge.
ps. no lex luthor please.
I just hope that Brandon Routh comes back as Superman and I hope they dont delay it soo much..it would be nice to see another Superman Release around the time that Spiderman 4 comes out so we could have a Superman and Spiderman Movie year release. LOL that would be cool.
It would be really nice if they started filming in early of 2010 so they could have a Superman Movie release by 2011…It would be really nice to see Spiderman 4, Thor, Captain America, The Green Lantern, and Superman hit the screen in 2011, maybe even the New Hulk Movie as well. That would be nice and I hope at least that Brandon Routh comes back as Superman..he was a great Perfect actor for that role.
is routh going to be superman again? i hope not, if the movie is going to be completely different it would be kinda wierd to see him again, as if the last movie never happened. also he needs to work out a heck of alot more! if they do pick a new superman, he should work his chest and shoulders hard to get that super look. this may be off topic but WHY RYAN REYNOLDS he is already that deadpool guy isnt he!? great goodness whats wrong with WB their are tons of well known actors that just scream green lantern, ryan reynolds isnt one of them.
