In speaking with Empire Online, Bryan Singer confirmed that he will now be focusing on the Superman Returns sequel, with an aim to direct once the project is ready:
“I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel…with the intention of directing it.”

I hope Bryan Singer directs the next Superman installment, but I think there are some elements in “Returns” that must be changed: for example, I think Kate Bosworth was the worst election possible for the Lois part. If Bryan wanted any x-men actor or actress to play a part in this movie, he should have chosen Famke Janssen or Rebecca Romjin Stamos for playing Lois, but I think it has something to do with Kevin Spacey and their previous job together. They should replace her, just like Chris Nolan has done in the new Batman movie. By the other way, all that “superman’s son” stuff is so wrong…, I mean, this changes the entire historical relationship between Lois and Clark/Superman, because it has happened before Lois knows Clark’s secret identity, they fall in love and marry, even including all events in Superman II, you know, the magical kiss, Superman becoming human to be with Lois,… And the most important, the next movies of the saga must follow this weak storyline. The one and only good decision is that internet rumor (if it is true) of the return of Terence Stamp as Zod, but I think that Bryan could try to put any other of the classic Superman villains in this movie, like Darkseid, Brainiac, or following some of the comic big stories, for example, making at least two movies with the death of Superman and the reign of the Supermen storyline.
