10 Directors Who Would Be Perfect For Man Of Steel 2

9) 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.
