Think Singer would ever start a kickstarter to get his Superman Returns sequel off the ground?
I wonder how much money it could generate? Would fans of SR actually donate to a project like this?

Even if he raised he massive amount of money needed to do a sequel WB would never allow it to get made. They wouldn't want a competing take on the character on screens when Snyder Superman is.
Only way it would ever happen is if they felt the audience wouldn't be spit or confused and they embraced the multiverse concept. They're already doin stuff under that banner but movies with different continuities would be a huge leap.

I don't know that Singer was passionate enough or just too exhausted after Superman Returns to have guaranteed a sequel was going to happen.
A lot of people blame Singer for fickleness- but with situations like "Antman" where the director is passionate for one project for several years, like Edgar Wright, only to have it snatched away.... it's hard to blame a director for placing many bets on the table rather than just one if it gets cancelled.
Still... I've always been curious about what Singer would have had in mind and would have been fine for him to finish it in comic book form.
If "Smallville" the tv show could continue on in comic book form, it's a pity Singer isn't interested enough in it to make it happen.... pity.
(For awhile, oddly, John Byrne was to draw a Superman II adaptation in comics during the SR promotion/RDC, rumoredly, but plans changed and it became prequels. *sigh*)

DC should continue most of their more interesting film and tv stuff in comic book form. It's money waiting to be made. Not a lot but enough people would be interested. heck adapt Burton's superman into a comic.
With Antman I hated Wright leaving but it turned out well. I do wonder what would have happened if the development process had sped up. He worked on that movie forever...before there even was an MCU. I think part of the problem may have been he worked on it too long and his and Marvels visions grew apart.

Antman I enjoyed, but it didn't have that zany 'edge' of Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World".... at parts it felt like a soft 'father-daughter meh relationship' film.
Without hearing Edgar Wrights' bts story, it wouldn't have left a nagging shadow after watching the film. Would love to see if the original undiluted WRight Antman script is available sometime.

You can still see Wrights influence on the finished film but if he had stayed on it would have felt far more original and less formulaic. To the films credit it did buck some recent trends in superhero movies.

The movie was a little too sentimental in spots for me to fully embrace it- Guardians of the Galaxy was heartfelt but effectively snarky as well to keep it from falling into that trap, imo... so, there is a little resentment that I had for that film. Had the second director created it from the ground up, I might not have had a 'could this have been better in this scene' feeling in the back of my mind whenever rewatching it.
