Should things fall apart, apparently Alien and Blade Runner director Ridley Scott is hanging out on the sidelines to direct.
Since Ridley Scott has all but finished his work on Alien: Covenant, he would seemingly be free to direct the new solo Batman movie.
It is unclear if Warner Bros. has talked to him yet or if he is just a name they are interested in, but the idea of Ridley Scott directing The Batman is surely enough to make any DC fans ears perk up.
Should that happen, The Hollywood Reporter notes that Ridley Scott is “in the wings” to direct.
