After addressing the all the rumours doing the rounds on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and reports that the studio wants to make the film more Batman-centric, director Zack Snyder has now spoken of his excitement about the prospect of George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road) taking on a DC film.
Miller is no stranger to DC material, having been attached to the aborted Justice League Mortal film back in 2008, and in recent weeks he has once again been linked to the DC universe with rumours suggesting he’s in contention for a sequel to Man of Steel.
On the Miller rumours, Snyder said Fury Road was “just a fucking great movie,” and that “no one would say that the best movie of the year isn’t Fury Road.” When the subject turned to Superman, Snyder said that “we haven’t talked about it,” but he “absolutely” wants Miller to take on the film and “if I was to think he had any interest in them of course I’m happy to talk to him.”
