The plans for the DC Extended Universe franchise that began with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel stumbled and unraveled in both Batman v Superman and Justice League, and since then, the franchise has retreated into the solo movie approach. However, stories of what could’ve been have fueled DC fan chat threads - including the anecdotes about how Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie collaborated with his Fallout star Henry Cavill on an idea for the Man of Steel sequel.
Too complicated to explain. It tied into the Superman movie that Cavill and I were proposing. No takers.
The studios have never cared for my original ideas. They prefer that I fix their broken ones.
They never said no. They just never moved on it. This was just before Fallout was released. And no, I would not reconsider. There’s too many other things I want to do.
Green Lantern was a written proposal. Superman was a pitch.
It certainly could have.
It’s like WB hates money.
