 There
were rumors that Mission: Impossible – Fallout’s Christopher McQuarrie was going
to make a DC Comics film. He was either going to direct a Man of Steel sequel or
a reboot of Green Lantern but then he signed up to direct the seventh and eighth
Mission: Impossible films back-to-back so the rumors stopped. He had said that
while doing Fallout he and Henry Cavill talked all the time about doing Superman
together. And on his Twitter account while answering fans questions he revealed
that he had pitched a Green Lantern Corps and a Man of Steel sequel that would
have been interconnected but Warners wasn’t interested. He posted: “Green
Lantern was a written proposal. Superman was a pitch. It tied into the Superman
movie that Cavill and I were proposing. No takers. The studios have never cared
for my original ideas. They prefer that I fix their broken ones… They never said
no. They just never moved on it. This was just before Fallout was released. And
no, I would not reconsider. There are too many other things I want to do…. I
must tell you, the possibility of my doing a superhero movie is remote in the
extreme.” He had talked with the previous team in charge of Warners about a
Green Lantern film years ago that but he was fired from that potential project
before he even started writing it since he had a take on the concept they didn’t
agree with. In the case of Superman, Avengers: Endgame screenwriters Stephen
McFeely and Christopher Markus said if they were offered a Superman film they
would treat him the same way as the Richard Donner film did but they aren’t
likely to get a shot at the character. We have also learned from cinematographer
Robert Richardson that the Ben Affleck Batman film would have revolved around
Arkham Asylum.
