However, the eventual director of Rim of the World would find himself fired off of Superman: Flyby, due to an unfortunate fear of flying preventing him from making a crucial Warner Bros. meeting.
That led to director Brett Ratner’s eventual hiring, and that’s where things get interesting.
Should Ratner’s film have gotten off the ground, we’d have potentially seen either Josh Hartnett or Jude Law as Superman; Christopher Walken as Perry White; and Anthony Hopkins as Jor-El, Superman’s father.
