November 19, 2008: Christopher Reeve's Son Discusses Next Superman Movie

MTV.com spoke with Matthew Reeve, son of the late Christopher Reeve, at a recent fundraising event in New York called "A Magical Evening" to benefit the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Here's an excerpt from the article where Matthew talks about his thoughts on "Superman Returns" and future Superman movies...

    "As far as we're concerned, there's only ever going to be one Superman," Matthew laughed.

    So instead of worrying whether they should keep Routh or try to cast yet another actor who looks like Christopher Reeve in the upcoming reboot, Matthew suggested that Warner Bros. focus more on the story this next time around.

    "There were lots of plot lines established, and it was very faithful to the original Donner films and sequels," he told us, "and I'd be curious to know how some of those plot lines in the last one will be continued or abandoned. If you look at 'The Dark Knight,' that was a phenomenal movie, and hopefully they can do something as good with the next version of this one. It could be."

    Matthew's advice, then, was this: "There are lots of fans of the comics and the films my dad did and the new one, and you can never please everyone. So just be original and creative and exciting, and I'm sure it will be successful."
