Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer explained that in his humble opinion, Henry Cavill should have directed the sequel first and then the ensemble film Batman v Superman.
We’ve known for a while now that the new DC Universe under construction has chosen a new interpreter for Superman. Henry Cavillmain character Man of Steelhas now hung up his cape, but the film’s screenwriter, years later, explained why the sequel had to speed up production Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceensemble film, which also included Amazing woman From Gal Gadot AND Ben Affleck.
The Man of Steel writer wanted to make a standalone sequel before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
It’s been exactly ten years since Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder and with a signed script David S. Goyer. And it was the latter who recently returned to the theme of the sequel to the then-canceled Man of Steel. According to Goyer, Man of Steel would have needed another standalone film instead of a sequel full of DC superheroes. Podcast Interview “Happy, Sad, Confused” Josh Horowitz, the screenwriter looked back at key moments in his career and couldn’t leave Man of Steel off the list. He added that he thought Henry Cavill would need another standalone sequel before moving on to other ensemble projects. There were also some ideas about this, but they never came to fruition. Some time later, the screenwriter claims that at that time there was interest in creating a cinematic universe similar to Marvel:
Warner Bros. executives told us: “We need our own MCU!” We need our own MCU!” And I thought: “Let’s not rush things.” Another challenge at the time was that Warner Bros. and DC there was a revolving door of executives. Every 18 months someone new came. We felt confused. Every new person said, “We’re going to make it big!” I remember at one point the person who was running Warner Bros. at the time made a statement proposing the next 20 films over the next 10 years. But none of them have been written yet! It was crazy how much architecture was built without any concrete foundation. That’s not how a house is built.
