While we have heard before that X-Men: First Class and Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn might have interest in a Man of Steel sequel, there’s been very little in the line of confirmation. Until now.
At SDCC earlier today, Vaughn’s film-making partner (and Mrs Jonathan Ross) Jone Goldman may have let the cat out of the bag… or at least its whiskers.
While DC/Warners are expected to make a big announcement or two this weekend at SDCC, Man of Steel 2 wasn’t really on the radar with everyone talking about The Batman, Gotham City Sirens, Batgirl and Nightwing, however, Goldman may have just changed all that.
Screenrant asked Goldman if she was set to work with Vaughn again anytime soon, maybe with a Superman movie, and she replied: “I know Matthew’s a big Superman fan. Would I like to… I don’t know. I mean I’m not sure. I think Matthew’s looking at it from a directing point of view. I have no idea what’s happening there.”
Woah, wait… he IS considering/considered as a director? This is awesome news! But is there anything moving ahead yet?
“I’m not sure,” says Goldman, “There might already be a script for it. I think so… I’m not certain actually but it’s complicated with a character with that kind of history. Obviously X-Men have an equally complicated [history]… but Superman feels a lot more recent. He’s been brought to life in a new iteration – he means a lot to a lot of people and maybe there are other people with more a connection with Superman… but who knows.”
This is massive! A potential director and script in place for Man of Steel 2?! Colour us extremely excited and expecting maybe more at the DC Panel on Saturday!
You’ll find us pacing the floor until then.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
