Hollywood director Zack Snyder claims the highly-anticipated ‘Man of steel’ sequel promises more fun.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times newspaper, Snyder has teased a few details about his forthcoming film ‘Batman vs Superman’.
The 48-year-old director says as they have already narrated the origination of Marvel’s iconic superhero in the first instalment of ‘Man of Steel’, the sequel will take people to next level.
According to Contactmusic, Synder told the Los Angeles Times newspaper, “[The movie] literally takes the Man of Steel and Batman universes and explodes them. You’re not as tied to the mythology. In Man of Steel, we had to create an origin story, a mythology, and there’s a lot of energy into that, which we love doing. Don’t get me wrong. But when you think about how fun it is too — now that you’ve got these characters — to now let ‘em loose. That’s fun!”
The ‘300’ director defended his controversial casting choices, including Ben Affleck as Batman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, claiming he understands who fits in the script in his hand.
“We know the material. Unfortunately, the fans don’t know the material. So, we’re casting according to what’s happening in the script. And we’re hoping that leads to enough originality, enough perspective on what we’re doing that you get something fresh and exciting. I understand the canon. I’m not crazy. I know what these characters need from a mythological standpoint,” he told Los Angeles Times.
The highly-anticipated film will also feature Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, while Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman.
It is expected to release in May, 2016.
