If this news is correct, it sounds like Warner Bros. is currently courting directors to helm an adaptation of the famous and beloved comic book story, Superman: Red Son.
As reported by Den of Geek, writer Mark Millar, who wrote the Superman: Red Son book for DC Comics, had a very interesting Twitter exchange with Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts.
In the exchange, Roberts revealed that he pitched a Red Son movie to Warner Bros. several months ago and, they passed.
In case you aren’t familiar with the Superman: Red Son storyline, the book imagines what would happen if Kal-El’s pod has crashed in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas.
