Online ‘rumours’ suggesting who the villains will be
Seems there’s still life in the “Superman” sequel after all (not that I’d take the Variety item as a debunk… they couldn’t even get our ‘url’ right; don’t know how much stock you’d put into their investigative reporting – in fact, ‘Stax’ at IGN Movies had the best retort which – despite rumours here earlier this week suggesting that wasn’t the case – suits me just fine.
As I said, I’m dead-keen for the “Superman” series to be given a go. My contacts at the Water Tower insisted that those Superman/Justice League rumours was/is a real possibility… but, like, whatever. Just make it – either “Superman 2” or “JLA” – good.
Anyway, Superman Homepage received word that the “Superman” sequel is still on track for a March 2008 start date.
They’ve also received a rumour of their own – note to trades : ‘Rumour’ not ‘Fact’ – on who are playing the villains in the sequel.
“The script has not yet been written, but discussions are being bounced around in regards to the major villains being Metallo and Brainiac.
“Apparently the “Bank Gunner” from Superman Returns (the guy who shot Superman in the eye) will be the man who becomes/gets turned in to Metallo. It’s unknown if he’ll be referred to as John Corben or not.
“The rumor goes on to state that Metallo does something pretty major in his huge battle with Superman which catches the attention of an alien orb in space (aka Brainiac), directing its attention towards Earth”.
So no Lex? Hmmm.
