If you ask one of the candidates to take the helm of the Superman Franchise, James McTeigue, how he feels about the Big Blue Guy he would probably say, "he needs to man up.” James McTeigue, the director of the upcoming Ninja Assassin spoke to MTV about the need for a darker Man of Steel to hit theaters. McTeigue is one of the many rumored successors to the DC film franchise, and he discussed where he thinks the character should go next. McTeigue wouldn’t confirm or deny his involvement with a new Superman film, but he did voice his opinions about where he thinks the next film should go. “I think that the culture has sort of changed a little bit around Superman. If you’re going to do something with Superman, I think people would probably like something a little darker. I think it’s good that they just had a court case where, basically, if you make another Superman movie, you can’t touch Superman growing up—that’s part of the story that you can’t touch any more. That wouldn’t be a bad thing. I think everybody’s a bit sick of seeing the origin story.” Without the crutch of an origin story, where can Superman go? McTeigue says, ”You need to take it and retool it. Make it something that appeals to audiences now a little more.” A clip from the MTV Interview can be seen below
