Several years in the past, it was rumoured that Warner Bros wished to rent Christopher McQuarrie, contemporary off of his Mission: Impossible sequels, to helm Man of Steel 2, which might have allowed Henry Cavill to reprise his position as Superman. While showing on the HappySadConfused podcast, McQuarrie revealed that it was purported to revolve round a battle with Green Lantern and “boy, it was f**king good.”
He elaborated, saying the important thing to Green Lantern was giving his energy a flaw. “The whole concept of Green Lantern is that the ring has to be recharged. Yes, you have infinite power, but you only have so much battery life, which can run out at inconvenient times. That, for me, solved the whole Green Lantern problem,” including, tongue-in-cheek, “the costume is another thing.”
As for Superman, “Henry (Cavill) had a take on that, and the two characters had amazing similarities that would have allowed for amazing conflict.” McQuarrie additionally shared that he had an “epic” opening labored out that may have been comparable in type to Pixar’s Up.
“The first five minutes of the movie were a setup after which you knew exactly what made Superman tick, what he was most afraid of, and why Superman made the choices that he made, and it would have been epic. In five minutes, the scale of the movie would have been extraordinary.”
All isn’t misplaced, although. McQuarrie said that he tried to depart the viewers leaving Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning with the identical feeling he would have tried to evoke along with his Superman film—the sensation of hope. He went on to reward Richard Donner’s Superman motion pictures for being the one ones to acknowledge that, on the finish of the day, Superman’s worst enemy is himself.
It’s too dangerous we by no means obtained to see McQuarrie’s model, as who is aware of what might need come of the DCU had it been made.
