Let her direct Man of Steel 2


Or a new Superman.

reply

why?

reply

Why not? She did a great job with Wonder Woman and admitted the '78 movie was an influence on the story. Clearly she seems like someone that has a reverence for these characters.

reply

Cool!

Or Captain Marvel 2

reply

After what she did with WW84? No thanks

reply

*shrugs* So she stumbled. All directors do at some point.

reply

You could also say she got lucky once. Her resume is damn short, and the first WW is her first and only major film. Granted, she did an amazing job on it, but there is a lot of history of directors blowing our minds initially, only to discover they only go downhill after that.

reply

She also had someone write the first WW. WW84 she wrote and directed

reply

And the writing is a HUGE part of what's wrong with WW84, no doubt.

reply

Absolutely. I still don't think though she should be directing or writing Superman.

reply

I think they will think twice before giving her this big of a property to do again, until she gets another hit under her belt. Despite it being "announced", I have my doubts they would let her touch a ww3 script or possibly even a director chair.
, much less hand her a new property

reply

I think they'll let her direct just because WW and WW84 did LOOK good (except for Cheetah LOL) but they damn sure need to hire someone who can actually write a decent story. If it's with Cersei as the villain especially.

reply

No. If a woman is going to helm and write for women heroes then a man should write and direct for superman

reply

Maybe just Steel 2, until she wins back some trust.
