MOS 2: Zimmer Comes Full Circle?

Film score composer Hans Zimmer worked with Christopher Nolan on his Batman trilogy and then did the same for "Man Of Steel" director Zack Snyder, and now, things are coming back full circle with the upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel involving a different actor portraying  the cowled hero.


In an interview with Red Carpet News, Zimmer confirms that he hasn't accepted the job yet. However, he's already thought about the dilemma that it presents:

"This is really complicated for me. Because we all went, 'Okay, we're done with Batman,' and now it's sort of getting smuggled back in. I'll have to have a think about that one. I might give you a new Batman if I do it."

MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.

Zimmer was also asked to offer his opinion on Affleck as Batman:

"I actually think it's a really good choice, because #1 he's a great filmmaker. He's smart. He wouldn't have taken it if he had set himself up for a fall. And, you know, he's a bit older these days and that's what we need, and he's got a good chin."

Those reports that suggested that the chatter about "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel were true have now been denied by the actor.

Snyder and writer David S. Goyer will be back--as will Christopher Nolan to executive produce the film,

Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.

The film will shoot in Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime in the first quarter of 2014. Warner Bros will also shoot the movie in Toronto to meet its release on July 17, 2015.
