Bad News: It looks like Bryan Singer will be filming The Mayor of Castro Street before the Superman Returns sequel after all.
Good News: This morning it was announced that Kevin Spacey has signed on to return as Lex Luthor in Superman: Man of Steel.
Spacey hopes to shoot his part during a six-week block, as he did on the first film, after he completes his run in David Mamet’s “Speed the Plow” in April. Variety confirms that Singer will direct Castro next before going into production on Man of Steel early next year. A June 2009 release date had been previously announced, but who knows if they will be able to meet that now. I’m just glad they are making a sequel to Superman Returns as it wasn’t as financially successful as they would have hoped. I was in the faction that loved the film. Did it need more action? Sure. But this was not that type of story. But don’t worry, Singer has promised to go all “Wrath of Khan” in the sequel.

It’s a pity that the movie being tackled first is “The Mayor of Castro Street” which seems like a stupid film that would be better off not getting made in the first place. Let’s face it: it’s going to go nowhere and make little money.

Im with u bud, ‘returns’ wasnt bad at all - it was a necessary reboot with great storytelling. The only complaint i had was the ’superkid’ which was a bad, bad, bad idea. Dont know how they’re gonna fix it, but i cant wait for M.O.S.!!

I liked the “super kid”. I was actually kindof hoping the kid could have saved them. I thought Superman Returns was a good movie. I absolutely LOVED Kevin Spacey as Lex Luther. I can’t think of a better person to play that character. I am very excited that he is coming back.
