Justin Kroll plays coy about it. True or not, I still don't get why they just let Cavill go and didn't take up his and Christopher McQuarrie's offer about Superman and Green Lantern. That could had been so cool.
TEXT:
There have been "rumors" (really just wishful thinking and speculation) doing the rounds for quite some time that J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Trek) might be in line to direct a new Superman movie for Warner Bros., but it looks like we may now have something more solid to go on.
While appearing on Barstool's "My Mom’s Basement" podcast, Variety's Justin Kroll had the following to say when the recent mega-deal between Abrams' production company Bad Robot and WarnerMedia was brought up: “I hope the new Warner Bros. deal leads to more stuff, maybe someone with a cape. We’ll see. That’s a hint.”
Of course, the Man of Steel is not the only DC Comics character with a cape, and we have been told that the studio is making Supergirl a priority moving forward (Batgirl is another possibility), but one can't help but wonder if this is a little tease that Abrams really is chatting with WB about taking the helm of a new Superman adventure.
Kroll knows his stuff, after all, and is often privy to details of major news stories long before they hit, so while we'll obviously have to take this as a rumor for the time being, it is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
What do you guys think? Would you like to see a J.J. Abrams-directed Superman movie? Sound off in the usual place.

There was already a J.J. Abrams Superman movie, it was called Superman Returns. Needless to say, it didn’t do very well.

What I’m saying is that Superman Returns has a lot in common with a J.J. Abrams film, given that it relied a lot of nostalgic callbacks to the older films. If J.J. Abrams directs a Superman movie, I imagine it would just be a retread of the Christopher Reeve films (the first two anyway), which is what SR already did.

WB don't like Cavill for some reason. I think he is done.
