To say Christopher Nolan is no stranger to superhero movies is an understatement. He just finished his Batman trilogy, which has grossed nearly $2.5 billion worldwide, and is now taking another iconic superhero to the big screen.
'Man of Steel' is currently is post-production, getting ready for its summer release and Nolan spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and admitted that bringing The Man of Tomorrow to the big screen is more difficult than it was with the Caped Crusader.
Nolan said, "In my honest appraisal, taking on Superman and creating that world is far more difficult than creating the world of the Dark Knight. He [director Zack Snyder] has a lot of finishing to do on the movie -- it has a very long postproduction schedule because, unlike Batman, Superman flies."
Nolan admits now that his producing duties are over, he feels guilty not having to do anything with the movie as Snyder has the task of putting it all together. But don't worry, Nolan is confident that postproduction duties are in very good hands.
He said, "Zack was the perfect man to take this on; he is unbelievably skilled at creating a coherent, cohesive world. Whether it's a very stylized world, like '300, or something that's more challenging, more varied, like he did with 'Watchmen'. "
So what's next for Nolan? Unfortunately DC fans, it ain't 'Justice League'. He reiterated, once again, that the film holds no allure for him, saying, "I want to direct another movie before too long, probably 'cause I get bored very easily. But I'll take my time in figuring out what it is. I know I'm done with Batman."
Well, at least we got his famed Dark Knight Trilogy and a Supe movie before he decided to hang up his cape right? Man of Steel flies into theaters June 14.
