Director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) is currently rumored to be the man to reboot the Superman franchise. He has yet to confirm or deny his involvement, but already has some ideas about what he would do with the character.
"I think if I was ever going to go near Superman, I would do a complete reboot — take it in a direction that you would absolutely not expect, actually," McTeigue told MTV News. "So, that would be my thinking on it, if I was ever going to go near Superman."
Warner Bros is currently under pressure from a lawsuit to get a new movie into development by 2011, but without the use of the character's origins.
"I think it's good that they just had a court case where, basically, if you make another Superman movie, you can't touch Superman growing up — that's part of the story that you can't touch any more," he said. "That wouldn't be a bad thing. I think everybody's a bit sick of seeing the origin story."
