Warner Bros. considered the assumption of Michael Bay to direct Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill

So here’s a wild for all of you fans DC out there! At some point in 2022, Warner Bros. briefly considered delivery Steel man 2 to no other than Transformers director Michael Baywith Henry Cavill’s Superman version.

All this came to light thanks to a recent report by The Wrap, which revealed: “Before taking Gunn and Safran, Warner Bros. Pictures Chiefs Mike De Luca AND Pam Abdy In short he tried to get an autonomous film by Superman led by Henry Cavill in 2022, with Michael Bay from the eyes for perhaps directly, according to two experts. “

The Cavill Superman gave himself through Bayhem … It would have been a Bonkers Superman movie. Bay was just a name in the mix. Another director Warner Bros. Considered was Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning director Christopher Mcquarriewho previously collaborated with Cavill Fall.

Mcquarrie has even made fun of what could have been an emotionally rich and ambitious vision of Superman, saying:

“I’ll tell you, the first 5 minutes of my superman movie were … Ricordi Pixar is standing? [It was] A sequence without dialogues that covered that character.

“[It] It was a set-up, after which you knew exactly what makes Superman Mint and exactly what Superman was most afraid and because Superman made the choices he made.

“It would have been epic. The scale of the film would have been absolutely extraordinary. I will never say it. I will never say it, but the boy was good. It was good.”

That version clearly had the heart. As for Bay’s vision? It is difficult to say. Although it was approached, Bay has constantly shown little interest in combining established superhero franchises. In fact, more or less in the same period this idea of ​​Superman was floating around, he told the press:

“It’s not that I don’t care about the wonder. As Ridley Scott says, the most complicated thing for a director and the funniest thing for a director is to build the world.

“I’m not the boy to go to Lucas’s Star Wars and make Star Wars Five. It’s not me. It’s not me who enter Iron Man Seven. I am not the one who do Batman 10.

“I want to do my things. I would like to do a superhero thing but I want to do it in my condition and create my world.”

However, it is interesting to imagine what Bay’s socket on Superman would have been if he had accepted the opportunity to face him.

In the end, the DCEU, as we knew, collapsed under the weight of one’s madness and James GunnThe new start is now on the horizon with Superman set to launch a new chapter.

But, for a fleeting moment, there was a temporal sequence in which Cavill returned and Michael Bay brought him back to a flame of barns that exploded, wild flying chase sequences and American flags flocked to slowing down in the middle of the massive battle of Superman.
