10 Directors Who Would Be Perfect For Man Of Steel 2

Man of Steel was far from a flop back in 2013, but it still didn't perform anywhere near as strongly as Warner Bros. was hoping in terms of reviews or at the box office. That, perhaps, at least partially explains why the studio has decided to turn what was going to be the movie's sequel into a Justice League prequel and a film set to feature Superman coming to blows with Batman on the big screen for the very first time.

Michelle MacLaren

Michelle MacLaren was supposed to direct Wonder Woman, but creative differences led to her deciding to part ways with Warner Bros. That quite possibly reduces her chances of being considered for the Man of Steel sequel, but the studio must have seen something special in the Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones vet to entrust her with Wonder Woman’s first big screen adventure.

Given her lack of blockbuster experience, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what MacLaren would bring to the table, but her work on the shows mentioned above was phenomenal, so her involvement would certainly be well worth getting excited about.

Man of Steel was a solid origin story for Clark Kent, but it had a lot of issues, and Superman needs a stronger storyteller next time (it’s not hard to see why David Goyer was replaced for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice), and with the right script, MacLaren could really do wonders with the property.
