Hulk Director Being Courted for Superman?

Bookmark: Digg Bookmark del.icio.us Bookmark Technorati Bookmark Furl Bookmark
Source:  Ain't It Cool News
Director Louis Leterrier hinted in an online Q&A session with fans that he may have been approached by Warner Brothers to take over the reigns for Superman: The Man of Steel. Thanks to Ain't It Cool News who brought us the transcript from the session.

In the Q&A Leterrier was asked to say 'Yes' or 'No' to several films about whether or not he would be interested in directing them. One obvious film that he was asked about was Hulk 2, which he said of course to. But when asked about Superman: The Man of Steel, his response was interesting.

"Funny that you mentioned Superman... because, hum, maybe they asked me...." Leterrier said.

Now, does this mean Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh are out? Perhaps Singer will produce with Leterrier directing? Keep reading MovieWeb and SuperheroFlix for more details as they become available.

I liked the Hulk but the studio said there won't be a sequel. I agree, they might just put him in another movie.

There's been talk that a hulk sequel won't come about. He'll prolly just be focused on in the iron man movies so tony can make his hulk-buster armor lol
