PLEASE NOTE: Den Of Geek UK has now confirmed with very, very, very reliable sources that this is not an animated movie that Warner Bros is looking into, but a live action one.
Here's the story...
A Twitter exchange between Mark Millar and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has thrown up some intriguing news about Warner Bros plans for a Superman movie based on the Red Son limited run.
Red Son, just to set the scene, was a Superman comic book penned by Mark Millar, that posited what would have happened were Superman to have been raised in the Soviet Union. It was published back in 2003, and was widely acclaimed. We've no intention of spilling the full plot of it here, just to reiterate it's very, very worth seeking out.
That said, its not something that Warner Bros has been interested in making a movie out of (at least, there's been no public word as such). At least, it seems, until now.
The aforementioned exchange saw the brilliantly-bearded Kong: Skull Island director, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, reveal in his Twitter feed that hed pitched a Red Son movie to Warner Bros months ago, arguing that its the most punk rock thing the DCEU could do in my mind.
