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.

10) David Leitch And Chad Stahelski

David Leitch and Chad Stahelski created something truly special with John Wick, and while it’s a shame that they’ve now gone their separate ways (Leitch is set to tackle The Coldest City, while Stahelski will return for the sequel), you have to believe that there’s a chance they’ll re-team in the future.

If they do, then a superhero movie would be ideal for these guys, and Superman is one of the most interesting possibilities. Say what you will about Man of Steel, but Zack Snyder really delivered when it came to action, and these guys know that realm very well indeed.

After dealing with a world ending threat in the first movie, Superman having a slightly more grounded adventure would be no bad thing, and Leitch and Stahelski are arguably the ideal candidates to do that, especially as it would mean the sequel dials it back a little on the special effects.

After all, parts of Man of Steel kind of ended up looking like a video game cutscene.
