Updates on IRON MAN & SUPERMAN

Some updates on Iron Man and Superman: The Man of Steel...

CONFIRMED: Bryan Singer IS back for Superman: The Man of Steel. That was true. He said this to Empire...

"I€™m just getting back with writers after the strike. We€™re just in the development phase. I€™m starting to develop a sequel...with the intention of directing it."

Ok that's cool. I do think Singer has a knock out Superman film in him and after what the guy did with X-Men 2, we know he is capable of making a much more epic and assured second film in a franchise...

"The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film,€ he says. €œI€™ll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there€™s really an opportunity to up the threat levels...Clearly there€™ll be a body count . From frame one, it will be unrelenting terror! All those teenage girls who found the movie and mooned over James Marsden or Brandon? Well, I€™m going to wake them up!€

Unrelenting terror? Presuming that is a joke but comments like that do hint at a real villain for Supes to face this time around.

NOT TRUE: CHUD are claiming yesterday's studio sources from IESB are incorrect. Transformers and Star Trek scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman ARE NOT writing The Man Of Steel. It would seem that they are busy hammering out the script for the Transformers sequel for Michael Bay. Warner Bros. are now looking for writers for the new Superman movie. What a great opportunity for writers out there to work on the iconic character. You know what I would like to see? Get a writer like Jeph Loeb or Brian Azzarello who has worked on some great Superman comic tales and hire them to write the script. It worked with David Goyer on Batman Begins. Although Goyer wasn't a comic book writer, he was very much a Bat fan and shaped much of the mythology of the picture. NOT TRUE:Coming Soon have it confirmed that Iron Man will open on May 2nd, not as early as April 30th as some sources claimed yesterday.
