September 17, 2015: Max Landis Pitches Sequel to "Man of Steel"

Max Landis, the screenwriter best known for his film "Chronicle", who is a big Superman fan and has his own Superman comic book series "Superman: American Alien" coming out in November, relates to Screen Junkies how he would approach a stand-along sequel to "Man of Steel" if he was asked to write the screenplay.

Man of Steel

    In the wake of the widespread destruction in the 2013 film, Superman is a reviled figure while Clark Kent, suffering from PTSD, has hung up his cape. Ready to leave Metropolis forever, Clark is given one last assigned for the Daily Planet: to interview charismatic billionaire Lex Luthor - "basically an evil Elon Musk" - portrayed by none other than Tom Hanks. In a film directed by James Cameron.

    It turns out the brilliant Luthor knows Clark's true identity, and offers to help him repair his damaged reputation, by sending him where he's needed most. In exchange, however, Superman will have to perform a few favors. Despite Batman's warnings, Clark agrees to Lex's terms. It's only after he captures some of the world's seemingly dangerous meta-humans and vigilantes - Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter - that Superman discovers Lex's true, sinister intentions: to assemble his own superhuman league, mightier than any army.
